Stopping your engine in flight

[gmpaul]

I have had engine failure on take off and I'm here to tell you practcise your dead stick landings. I posted this on (stoping your engine in flight last thread). Remember dead stick means the motor is not running.

My partner and I, in our sixties, have always run 1 tank out of gas, engine dies, switch tanks, start up again in a 1959 Comanche 250 with a Lyc O-540. Partner doing it for 34 years and his father before that. No adverse affects. I think it's good real world training as long as you have outs; altitude and somewhere to set it down.

And you always know that the tank you're on is the only one with remaining fuel if things ever get tight
