I know zero about this Cessna 421C Golden Eagle aircraft but my understanding of aircraft that have twin engines is their obviously and inherently safer than a single engine alla Bob Hoover even landing with both engines feathered.
Having flown most recently (on numerous occasions) in twin engine aircraft, seems odd this crash apparently had two engines fail for what ever reason.
Double trouble.
The 421 is one of those have to be way out ahead of it kinda airplanes. It's no Seneca or Seminole. Flying in IFR conditions or in busy airspace with the seats filled really needs a pilot and co-pilot. The plane gets too busy way too fast.
That’s the last time flying with that clod. “We’re not gonna make it!”.
I woulda punched that guy in the mouth for showing no spine in the face of danger. Don’t gimme that crap about a crash landing. You probly soiled yourself when we busted thru the wood fence.
Hobby Airport confirmed the crash, tweeting: We can confirm that a Cessna 421 C Golden Eagle had an emergency landing near Monroe Road and Fuqua Road.’ The crash did not interrupt the airport’s flight schedule.
Well, if I were at an airport, and I took off and saw a plane that had crashed out my window, I think I would say something and it would probably interrupt the flight schedule to keep planes from landing past the wreck.
The pilot’s combination of drag management chosen path of flight allowed him to get it on the ground before he ran into anything, so props to him for that. If he’d hit a house or powerline before touching down, there probably wouldn’t have been so many walking away.
