Engine Out On Top

A customer called GRT Avionics yesterday to share his story of an engine out experience while on-top, over mountainous terrain, climbing through Flight Level 180.

In short, he heard and felt a loud bang and the engine immediately stopped. He radioed air traffic control (ATC) and they helped as much as they could.

As he descended into the cloud covered mountains; radio and radar contact were eventually lost. The pilot used the "forward looking synthetic vision" on his Horizon HX and flew the plane.

The result was a safe, uneventful landing. "It may have saved my life", he said.

Details of the event and ATC audio are below:
