Yep, part number 12NS-350. Easy to remember because it provided, nominally, 350 pounds of thrust for approximately 12 seconds. They had life limits, so when it was time to swap in a new one they'd run a "training" mission where they fired it. It looked awesome, and it was all fun and games burning them 'cause they expired, but no pilot ever wanted to actually need that system. The more powerful engines and CAWI were lifesavers for these things.
Used to fly them. EMpty legs were a hoot. At cruise close the throttles and push the speeds to max. Allow IAS to drop to just above the stall. Shove the nose over. WAY over. Feel the plane pulse with the NTS takes the load off the props. At this point, your VSI is pegged. ;)
good job man, this is a lot of aircraft. I used to work on them for Amflight. I flew right seat on a lot of flight for MX and it is nerve racking for sure
I flew and instructed in the mighty Metro. Great airplanes and built like a tank. The are terribly noisy, though. My hearing is pretty much wrecked after sitting in front of those Garrett TPE331 engines.
Why didn't the instructor gave a specific airspeed to maintain for a proper emergency descent procedure? 160.. 170?.. Very cool video though. The metroliner is a beauty of an aircraft! Thanks for including the audio too!
Thank you @erumiselli. That is very true. People make comments but they don't realize that training is practicing very specific procedures. Well, doesn't matter anyway ;)
Nothing. People making comments assuming a trainee pilot should already know the aircraft before being fully qualified on the machine. That is why we call that process a "Type Rating" and why it takes several weeks. Ho well...
It's obviously one of his first flights so *evidently* the instructor is gonna be doing most of the stuff and telling him what to do. "Looks overloaded" - we have a physic among us! And that's hardly a death grip; he's just using two hands. Nothing wrong w/ that.
To Florian Garnier from me. fabianlaguzzi24 hace 3 minutos Hi dude, just a few questions, are you commercial pilot? have you been flown a Metroliner III? because you looks like a little bit jealous, you know mate, like i want it but i can not! Be nice with your comments mate, do not be a despot! and in the case that you being pilot please respect yours colleagues! we don like people that criticize other pilots when they are trying to do the best they can! have a good day Sir.

`thats a cute emergency descent...our procedure in the 228 is 70-90°AOB and about -30 to -45 pitch at 1kt before Vne diving... a minute from FL100 to 1000ft... what do you wanna do with 4000ft/min? imagine youre at 250 and you have a decompression... in that altitude youd have roughly 3 minutes TUC,... 3 minutes to a "safe alt" of 130. awsome... well if you have no pressurized cabin okay, then you wouldnt go that high, but still,.. everyone was a beginner some day. but this is like engine failure and fire training...
I miss flying on these. Air Oregon used to have them years ago. The original ones had an emergency rocket motor in the tail in case of engine failure.
Hank Fuddle really?

Oh really? I've never done that with it (mind you, I quickly moved to heavier jets).

I swear watching these buzzers in descent to MKC in the day they were doing no less than a thousand kts...
Nice video - what a great airplane.

I flew them too. People said they were loud but they seemed to get a little quieter every year . . .

This was a good vid, shame the approach and landing wasnt there. I do like the metroliner, nice lil plane.

GoPro suction cup, yes, but on the side (back) window, not on the windshield.
Why did the left seat pilot pull the co-pilot's hand onto the throttle? What was the issue?
Nothing. People making comments assuming a trainee pilot should already know the aircraft before being fully qualified on the machine. That is why we call that process a "Type Rating" and why it takes several weeks. Ho well...
i suppose he meant it ironic due the two dislikes ...
sweet footage btw.
keep it up! :)
Oh Fairchild... why did you go under :( I work on A-10s.
It was my first flight on this one at the time ;)
I think Slav was referring to the 2 morons who disliked the video ;)
This is a great video man! I learned a lot!

GoPro 2 with an audio splitter. Simple ;)
2 people didn't power all the way back
Guys don't post negative stuff on a learning video. OK.....Too many Sky Gods..... PLEASE...
I am a CPL / ATP. Don't worry, go right ahead with your comments.
Nice job and great airplane.
It was all the way back. More than that, the props would have gone into beta mode.

5,000 fpm? RIP ears
its pressurized
Then you catch the cabin, the negative pressure relief opens, and bye bye ear drums.

Hope this guy in right seat does not fly people.
Yes, the guy is actually an Airbus A320 first officer. Why?
What an ignorant comment Greg. The guy is LEARNING for goodness sake. Go troll on some other video.
you are just jealous you douchebag.
+greg estrada jealousy ;)
No Greg, he flies airplanes.

That’s why you put a mask on, dumbass. It’s hurry up types like you that wind up as statistics.
Oh... and this isn’t a fvcking drag happy glorified jump plane the 228 is.
