EngineSense

EngineSense is a compact and self-contained aircraft engine failure and identification system for twin engine airplanes. The EngineSense patent-pending technology takes the guesswork out of identifying which engine has potentially failed and which is the good engine. For most multi-engine aircraft, getting the failed engine propeller feathered is critical for sustained flight. EngineSense is the result of an idea that started during my annual recurrent training at SimCom several years ago. The basis of our multi-engine rating, checkride and annual recurrent training is all focused on dealing with an engine emergency. Unfortunately there have been many NTSB reports that attribute the accident to the pilot either incorrectly feathering the good engine or getting distracted by trying to figure out and diagnose an engine problem. Using technology to address multi-engine safety and assist the pilot in an emergency made sense to me. EngineSense is the result of over a year of research and development of the core patent-pending algorithm all in the effort to increase safety. While EngineSense can’t do the work for you, it can give you the confidence that the engine you have identified as the failed engine is the correct one.
