Can a Bronco fly on one engine?
(Updated 04/04/01) Yes. If it fails right after takeoff at low speed and high throttle, however, a Bronco will easily roll several times in a couple of seconds and the crew is advised to eject quickly in such circumstances. If it happens in normal flight, a successful landing can be made by following the normal engine-out procedures. Single engine landings are not a problem as long as there are several thousand feet of runway available. There is no need to eject from a single engine Bronco as long as airspeed and altitude can be maintained. The pilot might have to jettison weapon stores or the external fuel tank if still full to continue flying the plane.
