Yet another reason to buy a H rather than a Phantom 4. If that'd had happened with a Phantom you would have been picking up the pieces.
Or the ignition slipped the timing and the cylinder detonated and over a period time pitted the piston.Ahh thank you for transferring the file. I didn't even see it fly off. All I got was an immediate warning "engine malfunction or something like that and land immediately" My Pilot training came into auto mode: 1. fly the plane, 2. assess the situation, 3. find a place to land. Fortunately I was at the landing strip. I did have a real live event at Colorado Butts Army Air Field 1977, upon V2 rotate I lost critical engine power, leveled off declared emergency landed with out incident. Later found out a piston had a hole through it. I guess people leaned the engine too much?
Several, Cessna 310, Cherokee 180, B24 R Beechcraft, Cessna 172 T41B for mountain flying and finally when I got out of the army I bought a Cherokee 140 wish I kept it. Had to go through my log book and see what I've flown. ALSO did a lot of NOE really dumb I should have been dead!Or the ignition slipped the timing and the cylinder detonated and over a period time pitted the piston.
What type of aircraft did you fly?
