Wow. What a machine. Even if there was no performance reason for it I still think 3 engine gauges looks cooler than 2!

Do you train a single engine approach? Or is everything still on OEI?


Yes we do a single engine approach for the syllabus, and all engine out if we have time. 3 little engines or 2 big ones- if you have enough money just pick the one you like best! :cheers:

I like flying the 7X. If we have a plain old engine failure half way from Florida to Europe, I’ll sure feel better about still having 2 good motors during that 3 hour flight to our divert airport. The biggest advantage Falcon had over the G-whiz’s- no ladder is required for pitot covers install and it’s much easier to load baggage. I’d say that advantage is gone with the 10X.


Having flown both and loving each for different reasons, I do not miss installing the 7X center engine cover. Slick wing and or any wind made it interesting :). (We rarely installed engine covers on the Gulfstreams).

Will it fly on one?

It probably will, though I don't know how high. I think his point, however, was that they never really have to worry about flying on only one engine.

Don't tri-jets have lower IFR takeoff minimums than singles or twins for Part 121, Part 125, Part 129, and Part 135 operations?

Falcon 900EX did :D .

"According to Alexander Beringer, COO of Fair Wind, the problem manifested itself soon after takeoff, as the aircraft indicated a clog in its number-two engine fuel filter, followed quickly by the same indication in the number-three powerplant. The crew decided to return to base and then declared an emergency when the number-two engine failed. At 8,000 feet on approach, the number-three engine became unresponsive to throttle input, yet the crew landed safely on just the number-one engine, which also reported a filter clog. "We got lucky," he said, noting the entire incident occurred in less than 12 minutes from start to finish."

I remember my Dad telling me about a recurrent in the 727 Sim where he was down to one engine on an ADF approach. He made it.

Not clear it could fly on one if it was on the approach and descending. If it was heavy, which seems likely given it had just departed, it might have been close.

It was also clear that the third engine was going to quit soon as well. It definitely won't fly for very long with no engines.

Not exactly an indication that 3 engines are better than 2. Whatever takes out 2 engines (DEF in this case) will likely take out 3 engines or 4 engines.

Now they get to clean up 3 engines worth of DEF contamination instead of 2.

This isn't exactly related to the issue at hand, it affected all engines regardless if it was 1 or 4, so I'd put this in the category of a bird strike from that perspective. Given that the engines all fail at different times a slight advantage would be for the trijet, if this were a twin they may not have made the threshold.

The idea is the third engine removes some of the risk associated with losing an engine. Things that would cause a failure of two engines and not all engines seem exceedingly remote.

I’m reminded of the L-1011 that damn near had a water ditching (they were preparing for it) in the Miami area. It was a maintenance induced failure (failure to replace oil sensor seals or something like that) which affected all three engines in succession.

I think its lessons drove a lot of the ETOPS rule making, somewhat ironically.

Now you are arguing for the SF50

Of all the airplanes with DEF contamination that lost 2 engines this is the only one that landed with one running. :D That I know of.

Well, doesn't DEF only stand for DUAL Engine Failure?

No, it's a diesel fuel additive that does not get along well with jet engines.

They have lower standard take-off minimums but I don't think there is a 121, 135 or 129 carrier that does not use a lower than standard take-off minimum.

That is to say tri and quad jets have no real take off minimum advantages.


As an aside I would also like to know what the point of the single power lever is. I don't see a real advantage.

That’s the crux of it for me; there is a potential down side and no upside that I can see. Just because you can do it doesn’t mean you should.
