Welcome to AvioConsult

AvioConsult is an independent aircraft expert and consultant

AvioConsult offers aircraft expertise and consulting on operational aspects like performance, flying qualities and airborne systems to aircraft buyers and owners, aviation and simulator companies and accident investigators at the highest and most experienced level available in the world today: AvioConsult was trained at one of the four major Test Pilot Schools in the world and has over 15 years of experience in experimental flight testing.  

Recent activities: the prevention of airplane accidents after engine failure.

Why do accidents after engine failure or while an engine is inoperative  happen on big or small multi-engine airplanes?  Because flight manuals, student pilot textbooks and training manuals present paragraphs out of Aviation Regulations (Part 23 and 25) that are for the certification of airplanes, not for operational use.  This leads to deficient engine emergency procedures and to inappropriate response by pilots after engine failure; accident investigators never looked at this.
