The video says Mark tried moving the mixture both = directions with no success. I'm not understanding why that didn't = help...unless half the cylinders have reduced pressure and other half = have higher pressure so there is not optimal mixture. Also why 3,4,6 = and not 2,4,6. Was this a Lycoming? also, also, why did the plugs = foul so quickly? on a Continental the turbo outputs are merged so that if you lose, e.g. = one hose, you would lose pressure on all cylinders. at least then all = cylinders face the same mixture situation. anyway, just trying to figure out how you would manage this on a = continental.

All,
Below is a link to a youtube video which contains a = transcript of a Legacy pilot who departed Redmond, OR  on an IFR = flight plan. He climbs IMC to his assigned altitude at 21,000 and at = 20,000 there is a big BANG!! and the engine quits.
I only hope I = would handle the same situation half as well...

Needless to say = this is a harrowing story. The story has a happy ending but harrowing = none the less. When listening to the audio, you forget how serious the = situation is because he is so calm. The pilot is a friend of mine and I = happened to call him 30 minutes after he landed and he recounted the = tale to me. He told me the scariest part was not when the engine quit = but when he was forced to descend into dark ugly IMC/ and Icing = conditions with a dead engine. Oh, over the mountains!  He got = icing on the way up and his new deicing system was working perfectly. He knew he would most likely get it on the way down = as well, this time with a dead engine and potentially little power to = run the deice system.
Upon landing, it was discovered that a turbo = hose blew off in climb and when that happened because of the sudden loss = of boost, it completely flooded the engine fouling the = plugs.

Mark did an excellent job getting the airplane and himself = down in one piece.
 
He travels the country weekly and spends = around 3 days a week traveling this this airplane. His experience and = proficiency definitely shows in this situation...

Above is part A = of the transcript. You will see part B when the video = ends...

Nice work under pressure...
