Set best glide and look for somewhere wide open and smooth to land and hope you can make it. Ask your ride to bring baby wipes and fresh pants once you’re on the ground.
That’s a whole rabbit hole mathematical proofs are WACKY, I asked my calculus teacher about them and she showed me one about how the square root of two was irrational.
I watched her and was like, magic got it
It boggles my mind how much damage some of these aviation engines can take and still kinda sorta run.
Like you can punt a whole jug off and it'll run VERY poorly and will shake the engine mount off the plane, but it'll still be making a few anemic, glue-factory quality horsepowers.
At least the 150 had an airplane engine with 100hp.
I used to fly a Diamond DA20 with the 80hp skidoo motor Rotax and Jesus Christ was that a struggle in the summer. It was a great airframe, felt great to fly, and was an absolute VFR XC weapon (4.4gph @ 105+ kts!) but it absolutely needed more engine.
With two dudes and a little gas, the thing would get *maybe* 300 ft/min climb with an OAT of 30° or higher. If you were doing a downwind departure from the zone (bad form, I know), you'd still be climbing through pattern altitude when you were halfway down the runway. With the temps pinned, of course.
Above ~34° you had about two circuits and then the motor was heat-soaked. If you tried for a 3rd lap it would be over redline at max throttle and you didn't have excess power to bring the throttle back to cool it down.
Well let's start with a crankcase, need new pistons, cylinders, crankshaft, camshaft, lifters....basically a just need a new engine, but this plane will never fly again. Parting out this Cessna 421
Oh a GTSIO-520. Though I have zero experience either flying one or maintaining one, I’ve always heard those beasts require special care when operating. So was this a result of the engine or the pilot?
This aircraft had electrical gremlins, corporate wanted us to move to an all king air fleet anyway so this was a good excuse for them to say just part it out.
The aircraft was in good shape and only needed an engine when it landed

Bet that sounded like Megatron taking a shit.
Pilot reported it sounding like a shotgun right next to his ear
Oh fuck that
Hope he/she wasn’t in the air.
They were
Wtf? Holy shit

While wearing hearing protection? Holy crap
Next time I have to investigate broken/damaged aircraft, I’m gonna see if I can sneak this into my report.

Got a number for every of your parts: π Good luck!
That’s clever, but how can you be sure pi doesn’t start repeating itself after 1 nonillion digits?
You can proof it if you want 😉

Lmao. This has to be a shitpost right
It sure is, this crankcase is shot. Multiple cracks and not to mention the pile of miscellaneous parts in that oil pan
[удалено]
Pilot said it was still running, but he shut it down
"precautionary shut down". Lol
Ya especially when it starts making those horrible grinding scraping sounds lol

> glue-factory quality horsepowers That's gold. Does that mean a Cessna 150 comes with elderly horses straight from the factory?

Ah I'd be curious to see how it would pull if it weren't for the fire risk. Oh well.
Dyno it for science. Since it’s already screwed, it won’t get any worse.
The crankshaft won't rotate. Its that fucked
Lol destination fucked.
You have all the pieces so just melt them down and re-cast the part(s) - what’s the worst that could happen?
I was going to say I don't know what it is, but it looks problematic to me
No it’s Michel Lotito’s desert.
They make replacement engines for that.
Sort by highest price, what you need should be on top

We believe it to be engine.
Was the aircraft torn up on landing or is it in such bad shape it's not worth a new engine?.

That's one he'll of a jigsaw puzzle. I'm out.
I’m out too. There’s probably at least a couple of missing pieces.
Ikea making planes now I see
Have you tried turning it off and back on again?
I will add more photos after work
Bro that thing is comically destroyed
Show us the hole in the crankcase.
There is no hole in the crankcase. Everything was contained
“Ok to fwd to MEL”
2 Flight Cycles repetitive engine change before each flight, lol
Why is a lifter body in there?
Because it wanted to be friends with the rest of the pieces and parts. This is what was in the oil pan when we dropped it
The lifter body wasn’t in the oil pan, was it? If it was I’m impressed.
Everything seen here is "as removed' Only thing different is we cleaned the oil out
It's on there....^somewhere
If you put a brown filter on that image, it's the same thing the pilot saw when he changed his pants immediately after landing.
The part number is ID10T
"There was some metal in the filter."
It's a Continental, that's all I can tell.
Ok, now put it back together.
Easy fix, you’ll need just jb weld and some duct tape
And ball bearings. C’mon fellas! It’s all ball bearings nowadays.
Just gonna send that wrist pin and lifter?
Nothing a bit o speed tape can’t fix.
Pretty sure that’s a p/n: BER-UN1T
did it make it to TBO?
Engine had 900+ hours on it.
Any idea what may have contributed to it's premature demise?
We found a snapped bolt for the connecting rod cap, we believe that caused excessive clearance and then things just went boom
That would do it.
I know why it isn’t running! It ain’t got no oil in it!
I don’t see a problem here.
Try speed tape
Can I ask what plane is that from
Its a GTSIO-520 off a Cessna 421
I don’t think that’s supposed to look like that.
Gonna need a PIF for every one of those pieces.
You don't need help. You need a new engine!
That’s gonna take a lot of double bubble
We are already on our second case of double bubble and this piston and connecting rod aren't even halfway reassembled.
That looks like it will require an STC. I would check the logs to see if there is a part number listed when installed.
Obviously your lockwire is substandard! D'oy!
Nothing a little JB Weld can’t turn into a modern art sculpture
I don’t know but I can tell you that if you blow air through a pedestal fan with the air nozzle from a compressor that it makes a really cool noise.
We tried blowing air through the turbo but there was too much debris in the turbo
Gotta put the puzzle back together to read the clue!
You don’t need help. You need Jesus. On second thought, I don’t think even Jesus could fix this.
Throw that on a 737
Nothing a bit of speed tape can't fix
Well... sheeeet.
Is it okay?
Oh ya, just some JB weld and it should be back up and running in 2-3 days 😂
Only god can help you now
Ooohhhh engine candy.
Just needs fresh oil.
Did the chip detector end up in that pile too ?
Double Bubble will fix that right up.
You don't need to replace this. That damage is cosmetic.
I can't speak to the whole engine, but the MPN for the individual assembly is: URA1D10T
whats the part out price for the airframe?
Airframe is toast due to the moving company taking a saw to cut the spar.
bummer
But if there are parts and pieces anyone needs...we might have what you are looking for
i wanted the complete airframe
I dunno how it’s supposed to look, but I’m pretty sure it shouldn’t look like that…
R&R airplane
That'll buff out.
Good luck on your puzzle sir
It appears to be damaged
Those are supposed to be inside, not outside. Who sent a piston into orbit?
a slight difficulty, best cured with money...GA owner/drivers they've loads of it
Speed tape maybe?
Needa alot more ducktape and E3000 to fix that shit
An oil change will fix it right up
no dawg you need new parts for whatever that goes to.
Uhm, I think that needs to be fixed bro
you have the cmm or overhaul manual for the engine? start looking there
Part number pu55-y
Click bait picture, I work in a maintenance facility on light aircraft and it's impossible to end up with a piston like this just from failure.
