I decided to test a dual engine failure on the A330-900neo. The first engine went out shortly after takeoff, and the second went out when we were approaching for our emergency landing. Enjoy the video of our landing!

Nice landing. What speed did you touchdown at?

Now this is something I love to see! I’ve done this myself a couple times and I’ve gotta say dual engine failure is one of the hardest things to deal with so good on you.

3 minutes response time is wild :scream::skull:

@Mort amazing video! You know I approve of anything with the butter bus neo

Nice video @Mort! This one is too special to just be on the video tracking thread :)

Thank you! I don’t recall - maybe 120 knots?

It’s very difficult, yup. Took a lot of control. For a minute, I thought I was going to crash land.

Thank you!

Thanks! I figured since it was a cool “challenge,” I’d feature it separately.

you should leak my IP address next

I tried to do this a few days ago with the exact same aircraft but taking off from MAN. I rotated but shortly lost a lot of airspeed and managed to crash land in a field not too far from the end of the runway. How did you manage to takeoff with a single engine?

If you pass V1 speed, all aircraft are required to take off. So, every aircraft with two engines can still fly with one (albeit barely).

I passed V1 speed and rotated when I switched off the engine but the A330-900 barely climbed. I put engine 1 to TOGA but still it couldn’t climb.

That sounds more like a physics issue.

Great photos Sammy! Next try taking off with one engine out on the C172 👀

Real 😭😭
