Procedures and Briefings

Question 1

Engine Failure (in cruise flight)

Answer 1

Pitch for blue line
Mixtures forward
Propellers forward
Throttles forward
Gear up
Flaps up
Identify (idle foot idle engine)
Verify (close throttle)
Prop (fix or feather?) above 950 RPM
2-3 degree of bank towards op engine (raise the dead)
Trim for 88
Checklist

Question 2

Engine Failure (after rotation with gear down and enough available runway)

Answer 2

Both throttles to idle
Land straight ahead
Apply max brakes

Question 3

Pre-Takeoff Briefing

Answer 3

Engine failure or abnormality prior to Vr: abort take off, throttles immediately closed, brake straight ahead
If not enough runway to stop: mixture to cutoff, fuel selectors, mags, battery master off, maintain directional control and avoid obstacles
Engine failure after Vr w/gear down: maintain directional control, throttles closed, land straight ahead and brake
Engine failure after Vr w/gear up: maintain directional control, mix’s, prop, throttle forward, flaps and gear up, identify, verify, feather, mixture to cutoff, climb at 88, declare emergency to land

Question 4

Engine Failure At Takeoff (prior to Vmc (56)).

Answer 4

He will pull mixture.

Both throttles to idle
Maintain directional control on centerline of runway
Apply max brakes
Come to a complete stop
Hold brakes
Throttle Full
Release Brakes
Departure
