Emergency landing after passenger plane loses propellor in flight
Moderator
Many years ago an old friend who worked for a time as a commercial pilot lost a prop on a twin not long after they'd left Bankstown.
Can't recall what type of plane, either a Beech or Cessna and was doing a Bank run out west when a vibration started and all of a sudden one engine lost a prop somewhere over Lake Burrogorang. (Warragamba Dam)
It'd only just been serviced.

I’m pretty sure the dinosaurs died out when they stopped gathering food and started having meetings to discuss gathering food

SubscriberJust a heads up. There are three priority signals in radio communications, the distress, urgency, and safety signals.
The Distress Signal....MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY.
Has absolute priority over all other transmissions, and indicates the station sending is threatened by grave and imminent danger, and requests immediate assistance. It must not be used at any other time, and severe penalties exist for those who do.
The Urgency signal....PAN PAN PAN PAN.
Used when a distress signal is not justified, but when the sending station has a very urgent message to transmit concerning the safety of the station or a crew member.
The Safety signal......SECURITE SECURITE SECURITE [pronounced securi-tay]
indicates a station is about to broadcast an important navigational or weather warning.
These are for vessels at sea, but I'm sure it applies to all civilian radio comms.

If it is, it is a big bar. It is a large four bladed prop. Latest article I have seen says it appears to have been lost about over Camden at about 6,000ft. There is a lot of open country round there.The prop is probably hanging over someone's bar . Good luck getting it back

SubscriberBeen there, done that.Worst thing I did was get my radiotelephone operators certificate of proficiency.You see , back then it cost $20 per year to join the VMR, about $200 to attend TAFE to get the ticket. No brainer. Only thing is, I sat in the radio room from then on. I also did the inshore Navigation course, the seamanship courses, all taught by the same TAFE teacher that taught the TAFE course. Even though I rarely ventured out on the vessel, I decided I would give the VMR 4 years of my time, as payback for the qualifications.Good people, learnt a lot.

That's just a backronym. The original comes from the French word panne. Similar to mayday (venez m'aider) and most of the others such as securite, seelonce, etc.).
