Engine Failure? (With a video)

I wonder why it was still making the sputtering sound long after the engine quit.

It sounded like the pilot tried to re-start it. How did the engine failure occur?

Are you flying on simulation yet?

I have yet to kill my engine on sim mode.

yeah i do fly on sim mode, but this time i was just shooting down planes and then slo-mowing the clips. I just left the recorder going, and managed to catch this on tape.

One thing. On a dead stick landing like that, you DON'T change your line at the last minute. You commit to a line and stick with it. Otherwise, when you turn at the last minute, you roll into the ground.
