    Subject: Low Pass Engine Sputter
    From: "bmsim" <bmsim@hotmail.com>
    Hi Everyone, Hopefully someone has some input on this. My Yak has exhibited a strange high pucker factor behavior on the last two low passes I have done. Last week, after a normal flight, some gentle aero, loops, barrel rolls, etc., I came back in and did a low pass over the runway, pulling up at the end, not really hard, but the engine sputtered like it would on a bad mag. I leveled off, joined the pattern, and had an uneventful landing. Yesterday, I took her back up for a test flight, took off and she ran like a top. I spiraled up over the airport just in case there were any hiccups - nothing. Did a loop, nothing, ran perfectly. So I leveled off and flew around the area a bit. I ended up on the same far end of the runway, so I set up for a low pass. About 3/4 of the way down the runway, same sputter again, so I gently joined the pattern and put her down for another uneventful landing. Engine ran perfectly and there were no hiccups or anything in the pattern, or on the ground after another runup. Does anyone have any idea what could cause something like this. Obviously with only 2 occurrences happening during a low pass it is too soon to directly correlate the behavior with the low pass scenario, however, at the same time the fact cant be ignored that it happened twice only in the middle of a low pass. I'm going to fly this afternoon, spiral up over the field, and see how she runs. No more low passes or flight away from the field until I can determine what is going on.

    Subject: Low Pass Engine Sputter
    Questions: Was the low pass out of a dive? I.E. Were you at a much higher speed? Were you so low as to be in ground effect, again, increasing speed? Did you happen to look at fuel pressure? What was the engine RPM set to? What was the throttle setting? Full forward? Are your mag drops normal? Is idle RPM as it always has been? Any change recently? Has anything been adjusted recently? Timing, any kind of inspections, any hands on the engine? How long was this "sputter"? 1 second? More than that? Are you running 100LL ?? Any mixture with car gas? Any additives? Where were the shutters? Open or closed? What was cylinder head temp? Were the fuel tanks full at the beginning of each flight? Have you verified that fuel tank venting is A-OK? Obviously with the given information, the best most anyone can do is to make guesses. That said, you need to be ready to switch from one mag to the other if this happens again. Switch to position 1 and then to 2, and see if it clears. I am personally at a loss to understand the relationship to the "low pass", unless you are in ground effect and the aircraft is bouncing around with turbulence at like 20 feet or less off the ground. In the meantime, I going to risk this advice for fear of reprisal. My Yak-50 has about 32 gallons of fuel total. I have a habit of putting in a full QUART of MMO (Marvel Mystery Oil) per 30 gallons. This is much more than the advised mixture of course. I also USED TO suffer from leading of the valves, and since I began doing this, the problem has completely been resolved. Regardless, you really have to try very hard to put too much of this stuff in the fuel to cause a problem. One quart is a lot, but it does not cause any engine issues at all, and it tends to clean out everything (IMHO). I'd add a quart to your fuel for the next few fill ups, just for GP (General Purposes). But this of course is a WAG. Obviously the big question here is: Is it fuel, or is it ignition? Typically this kind of thing is ignition related, but it is very hard to bet money on that.

    From: "A. Dennis Savarese" <dsavarese0812@bellsouth.net>
    All excellent points by Mark and Ernie. M14 or Huosai engine? I'd like to add; What was the outside air temp and the relative humidityeach time it occurred? I personally experienced the exact same symptom in a Yak 52 doing the exact same thing and ultimately concluded it had to be carb ice. Although the carburetor is a pressure carburetor, the IS a very small window where carb ice can and will occur. So please do not discount carb ice as causing the problem. You may want to do the same test twice; once without carb heat and see if you get the same symptom. If you do, perform the same maneuver only this time with carb heat. https://www.aopa.org/-/media/images/legacy/aopa/home/pilot-resources/safety-,-a-,-proficiency/accident-analysis/accident-statistics/epilot-reports/epilot-asf-accident-reports-carburetor-what/nyc02fa025_1.jpg?la=en Dennis A.

    What are you doing with the throttle is probably a pertinent question.... Closing while diving and then opening during the pass perhaps? Technically, you should just leave it at aerobatic power all the while.... Apart from the fact that if you were in the UK (not sure about FAA rules), you'd be pulled up anyway for doing low passes without an exemption from the Rules of the Air since this type of approach can hardly be called an approach to land.....

    Even in your attached document the inference is a low approach TO LAND (i.e. in the landing configuration), and not a high speed low pass with no intention of landing..... That is called a "Fly-through". So the rules (that protect you from prosecution because you are in approach an landing mode) do not apply to this type of manoeuvre.......

    Still has to be done in the landing configuration if you're coming that low...... otherwise, a practice missed approach that starts with the gear up would never be that close to the ground, unless the gear had been forgotten, but the crucial factor is still that the aircraft would be at APPROACH speed, and not high speed from a dive....., and a missed approach ALWAYS climbs at the point of adding power......

    Nigel. I am sure it works the way you describe in your country. It does not work that way in this country. I regularly request a low pass, or a low approach at my home airport on a regular basis. This is a FAA towered airport. It is "cleared as requested" every single time. When flying from my airport to the beach, I fly right over Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. When I ask for clearance through their Class D airspace, I wait for approval, and then say: "Request 500 feet *OR LOWER* down the runways (which are three miles long) and the answer is typically: "Cleared as requested, keep it over the runway". Lastly, our aircraft are "Experimental Exhibition", a category not found in your country. The purpose of this category is to exhibit the specific operating characteristics of the make and model of aircraft, and that includes for photography. Making a HIGH SPEED PASS directly over the runway, is an approved demonstration of those characteristics. So excuse me if I have to disagree with your argument. If a Federal Aviation Administration controlled airport tells me "approved as requested" when I specifically ask for a "low approach/pass", there is no requirement for me to exhibit a certain speed, a certain landing configuration, or a certain altitude. At least that has been the case for the last 45 years I have been doing low passes at the airports in my country.

    Well, it was a good suggestion, so I looked for the direct quote for operations in THIS country. Please note, there is no requirement for any specific aircraft configuration, no specific speed, and no specific altitude required. This quote is directly from the most recent Airman's Information Manual, published by the FAA. 4312. Low Approach a. A low approach (sometimes referred to as a low pass) is the goaround maneuver following an approach. Instead of landing or making a touchand go, a pilot may wish to go around (low approach) in order to expedite a particular operation (a series of practice instrument approaches is an example of such an operation). Unless otherwise authorized by ATC, the low approach should be made straight ahead, with no turns or climb made until the pilot has made a thorough visual check for other aircraft in the area. b. When operating within a Class B, Class C, and Class D surface area, a pilot intending to make a low approach should contact the tower for approval. This request should be made prior to starting the final approach. c. When operating to an airport, not within a Class B, Class C, and Class D surface area, a pilot intending to make a low approach should, prior to leaving the final approach fix inbound (nonprecision approach) or the outer marker or fix used in lieu of the outer marker inbound (precision approach), so advise the FSS, UNICOM, or make a broadcast as appropriate.

    I did caveat my original post with "in the UK (and hence EASA)" - not sure about FAA rules. However, just because you get a clearance from ATC doesn't absolve you from the usual Rules of the Air in "air law". I'm pretty sure that is standard world-wide. For example over here in the UK, ATC will clear us to low levels (specifically on what we call a Special VFR clearance) that we sometimes (as a pilot) have to refuse because it would mean we would break the rules of the air...... the compliance is always with the pilot. That's been tried and tested in court. Unfortunately! Fortunately you guys have a lot more open space over there to have a bit more freedom than we do over here, so I guess with a 3000ft runway you can do as you say without busting the rules!

I am sure it works the way you describe in your country. It does not work that way in this country. I regularly request a low pass, or a low approach at my home airport on a regular basis. This is a FAA towered airport. It is "cleared as requested" every single time. When flying from my airport to the beach, I fly right over Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point. When I ask for clearance through their Class D airspace, I wait for approval, and then say: "Request 500 feet *OR LOWER* down the runways (which are three miles long) and the answer is typically: "Cleared as requested, keep it over the runway". Lastly, our aircraft are "Experimental Exhibition", a category not found in your country. The purpose of this category is to exhibit the specific operating characteristics of the make and model of aircraft, and that includes for photography. Making a HIGH SPEED PASS directly over the runway, is an approved demonstration of those characteristics. So excuse me if I have to disagree with your argument. If a Federal Aviation Administration controlled airport tells me "approved as requested" when I specifically ask for a "low approach/pass", there is no requirement for me to exhibit a certain speed, a certain landing configuration, or a certain altitude. At least that has been the case for the last 45 years I have been doing low passes at the airports in my country.

    I'm not going to argue over your rules over there, but I guess the crux of the matter is the legal interpretation of "approach" and "go-around manoeuvre" in the FAA. Over here the definition of "approach" is "with the intention of landing"......... i.e. an "approach to land". And "Go-around" implies a climbing manoeuvre, not one that goes parallel to the ground..... All the EASA regs over here are so tight there is a glossary and definition of just about every aviation term! Even so, there's a good adage over here in that where there is more than one "interpretation", the only time anyone ever finds out what it really means is when they are in court over it!

    Subject: Low Pass Engine Sputter
    Touch and Go's are fine, because the pilots intention is to land, OR to do a go-around. Specifically in SERA (Standardised European Rules of the Air), the ability to descend below 500ft is ONLY allowed when on an APPROACH (to land in accordance with normal aviation practice) at an airfield (which could be an airfield, or a farm strip). If you specifically have no intention to land, or do a touch and go, or a GO-AROUND (a climbing manoeuvre following an Approach [to land remember!] in which the pilot elects not to land), then the exemption from the 500ft rule does not apply. Specifically, your intention to do none of the above is conceived by you approaching in the wrong configuration, and/or at the wrong speed. i.e. If you come in from a dive at aerobatic power doing 150kt when your landing speed is 70kt, you clearly had no intention of landing, and therefore the exemption to fly below 500ft does not apply. You are therefore breaking the Rules of the Air. Some people also mis-interpret the "break to land", and treat that as a reason to do really low fly-pasts down the runway. Again, specifically, a "break to land" is purely to enable the speed to be bled off in the subsequent climbing high angle of bank turn (i.e lots of drag) onto the downwind leg to get in a position (speed limiting range) to be able to lower the gear. Technically, the "break" along the runway is 500ft lower than the standard published circuit height for the airfield concerned, OR 500ft minimum - whichever is higher. If someone wishes to do a "low fly-by", then specific permission (exemption from the rules) has to be obtained in advance from the AUTHORIITY (since they are the ONLY ones that can give you that permission to break the rules (ATC certainly cannot do this) for which a charge (i.e. MONEY) is made), and that permission will only be given for a specific date, time, place, pilot and aircraft as a one-off. Even as a "Display Pilot" I have to abide by the rules, unless I have an exemption to either practice, or if at an actual display (and then a whole load of other rules also come into play)!

    Subject: Re: Low Pass Engine Sputter
    Gentlemen. Not to say your inputs on low passes are not valid, but. The real question here was, and is, what is causing the sputter on pull up. With the engine doing this what guarantees that it will not progress to a much worse condition. Go back to the original question. You have all been distracted from the original reason and question for the post. By saying don't make a low pass, then even a more problem solver would be to recommend park the airplane and just don't fly it again. Not practical. But thank you all for the low pass legal posts.

    Bill my Yak did this once I happened to be over an airport (doing a loop) a nd landed immediately looked over the engine did a lot of fuel sampling fou nd nothing did a lot running up before going home.

    The UK seems like a fun place. We allegedly used to routinely do buzz and break landings in the L29 here in NZ. The guys in the tower didn't think we were trying hard enough until they could look down on us as we went past. There are rules of course, and we followed them.... except they used to make us buzz parallel to the runway, which put the fear of God into a foreign operator in their 777 as they were taxiing along one day when we flew over them at an undisclosed altitude doing 249.5 knots (speed limit is 250 under 10k feet). For some reason the tower asked us to buzz down the runway centreline after that. Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=472662#472662

The real question here was, and is, what is causing the sputter on pull up. With the engine doing this what guarantees that it will not progress to a much worse condition. Go back to the original question. You have all been distracted from the original reason and question for the post. By saying don't make a low pass, then even a more problem solver would be to recommend park the airplane and just don't fly it again. Not practical. But thank you all for the low pass legal posts.
