This is an excerpt from a report made to the Aviation Safety Reporting System. The narrative is written by the pilot, rather than FAA or NTSB officials. To maintain anonymity, many details, such as aircraft model or airport, are often scrubbed from the reports.
Just after liftoff from a touch and go, my Luscombe 8E’s engine failed with a loud squealing noise.
I lowered the nose and easily landed on the remaining runway.
There was no sign of fire. I accomplished the shutdown procedures and got out of the plane.
I visually checked the pattern and did not see any traffic, nor did I hear any on the CTAF the last two times around the pattern.
I pushed the plane about 50 feet to the next taxiway and got it clear of the runway.
What I forgot to do was make any announcements on the CTAF after my engine failed. If it was busy, I am pretty sure I would have made a call that I had landed again and would be occupying the runway for a few minutes, and then another call to say I was clear.
Even so, I should have made those calls in case there was some traffic I was not aware of.
Primary Problem: Aircraft
ACN: 1806698
No one was hurt or killed and no damage to the airplane.
I would say that was a complete success!
Congratulations, job well job!
I don’t see that you did anything wrong.
Glad you got down safe. Next.
I believe due diligence had been met and in a word… EXPEDITE.
So…no factor. I don’t get it, did he not soft shoulder his bird enough? When the guts fall out of ur bird…fly what’s left and get out of the way.
Like I said, I don’t get it.
Aviate… He landed.
Navigate… He pushed the plane off the runway.
Communicate… He told everyone what happened.
That’s the proper pilot duties in correct order.
Nonsense.
In a crew cockpit a radio call might be possible but.
Fly your airplane first, talk last.
Pretty sure he’s talking making a call, after he came to a stop, that he’s dead in the water on an active runway. Then making a second call after he had pushed the plane clear of the runway.
