Engine Failure Procedures in Twin-Engine Airplanes

[12Jetdiver55]

That was too fast. You SHOULD be teaching that WHEN you pull the DEAD ENGINES's throttle back, the student SHOULD be AWARE FOR a CHANGE IN YAW.

[joepatroni77]

Personally, I'd say it was a tad too fast.

4 seats total. GW 3900 lbs. Max zero fuel weight 3500 lbs. Only 437 produced. The one I used to fly was ser. no. ME-425. Only 12 were produced after that. Very good trainer and entry level twin. Speeds are virtually identical to the Piper Seminole.

I gjess autorudder ob FS screws the yaw procedure up? ;)

[justforever96]

@r1ckst4 Well, the draggy dead engine is only half of the problem...the other half is that all the thrust is suddenly on one side of the plane. The whole thing is draggy, the dead engine just a bit more so. If God suddenly made the entire nacelle disappear, leaving only a engine-less left wing, you'd STILL have the same problem. Just not quite so bad. And if that ever happened to me, I'd probably assume that this was just the beginning of my "problems". =)

i wish i knew everything John King knows.

[VIR092]

I remember this from FS2004 when I first learned to fly...Great to see and review this procedure!

[jvbeeeter]

this guys videos are great, welldone for getting it out there!

[elvis3141592]

Perfect example of why it's so important to learn use feet instinctively. Always keep airplane aligned with relative wind. When this second nature, feet automatically keep nose straight without thinking. Engine fails, BIG change in sound, feel, performance, but how identify WHICH engine is NOT look at gauges or out window, look at feet! Instinctive feet have already counteracted sudden yaw, so just look down. Aha! this foot isn't doing anything, it's "dead", therefore dead engine is same side.

The only thing I hate more than the Duchess is the King family... watch the earliest videos these dolts made in the 90's... they were utter crap... especially the ones with Martha... the fact that they are still in business is a monument to the motto 'caveat emptor'.

[justforever96]

@BMWMarv What's wrong with the Duchess? I think she's a lovely looking plane. Far better than the Musketeer single she was made from.

And caveat emptor applies to everything. Obviously some people were impressed enough by these videos, and learned something from them. I wouldn't know, since I've never watched them (I will admit, he has an annoying attitude about him). You could always try and make some better videos yourself, if these bother you so badly...might find it harder than you think.

Left foots dead means he will avoid giving the rudder left pressure when losing the left engine. You do not turn into a dead engine nor do you apply rudder pressure on the dead engine side. To do so could be disasterous.

[RobertGary1]

I've never had a problem turning into the dead engine.

The procedure is to "raise the dead" i.e. bring the dead engine up and fly in a "skid" into the dead engine.

[LeeMan3228]

what does he mean when he says "identify left foots dead"?

[foxtrot789]

The plane will want to yaw left if the left engine fails; I think 'left foot's dead' means that there's no pressure on the left rudder, if there was pressure it would assist the plane in the left yaw it's already doing on it's own. Left engine dies you apply right rudder pedal and vice versa

[RobertGary1]

Yea, if your left foot is not needed on the rudder, that means its the left engine you feather. The important thing is to feather the correct engine.

[RobertGary1]

The rudder you are pressing on is the same side as the live engine. The most important thing in a light twin is to feather the correct engine, especially if you lose the engine on take off. Many people have feathered the wrong engine, resulting in no engines. Dead foot = dead engine.

[Skymaster841]

He forgot to say as the first thing to do is to mantain directional control of the aircraft. In the case of the Dutchess which is a non conventional twin, since the Lprop rotates clockwise and the Rprop counterclockwise it won't roll as quick as a conventional twin (seneca's for ex.) that has both props rotating in the same direction, but it does roll and pretty fast as well,so i would say that the first thing to do is mantain directional control with ailerons and rudder and then mix prop power

[123456789bmac]

you should maintain a speed of 100 knots no less than this during an engin failure if u look at his speedomiter it states that he is at 85 knots :(

[pescadotu]

theres an speed that its marked on the speed indicator that it calls BLUE LINE , thats the speed you must mantained on an engine failure. if theres no a blue line, exist an a reference speed that manual saids, every flight are diferent try to not been a machine. Any way you must try to not lose altitude maintaining what ever speed is to always been on a straight flight level and if the operative engine cant mantain straight fly level try to lose the less feet per minute

[3k9sv048]

This guy sells training for a living. He has forgotten more about flying and training than most pilots will ever know. With an engine out you are going to try and fly the best lift over drag speed for your weight and density altitude. Without the manual and the rest of the necessary information we dont know what that speed is. That might be 100, maybe not. But you wouldnt want to allow the airspeed to decay below VMCA (redline) with the operating engine developing maximum thrust.

[jonathanknight89]

Anyone who calls the airspeed indicator a "speedometer" is obviously well qualified to teach multi-engine flying....*sarcasm*

[donlightbody]

85 is Vyse for the duchess, so during engine out ops you head for 85, "blue line" if you pitch that plane for 100 you'll be loosing lots altitude fast

[djdasani]

fckng Jedi.

[panictactics]

He feathered the prop. Open your eyes.

[forces077]

no you didn't understand the question, look at 0.19 secs he says we just lost left engine and then it show that the prop is still half way and the mixture almost rich, how has engine no. 1 stopped?

[54spiritedwill54]

Great video! Thanks for uploading this, it's a great help.

[drummerdude6485]

Beech Dutchess! Great airplane. How many does that seat again?

[JaguX]

According to Wikipedia 1 crew and 3 passengers.

[drummerdude6485]

Oh! That's nice.

[JaguX]

Yeah, you are correct it is a Duchess. Sorry about that. Description is fixed now.

[solveg18]

hey thats the guy from Flight sim, haha =)

[dino1pilot]

He is the King Flight School Training Video guy. Dont forget his wife......I think its Martha. Yeah John and Martha King.

[solveg18]

yes

[jom121]

yeah, it IS a duchess. nice aircraft recognition Jagux lol.

[futureflyer16]

thats a duchess not a baron...

[alex4536]

Yeh it is him commentating he is on flight sim 2004

[herrau]

Lolz jengi on favoritennu

[herrau]

TO A HECK OF A BLACKSMITH Nah I already got him one

[herrau]

Great video! Is that you doing the commentary? Thanks for uploading this, it's a great help. Have a great day!
