Airplane engine failure - training flight

Dan Gryder shuts off the mixture in one of the company training airplanes, the student makes the proper response and feathers the engine, causing it to stop rotating. This scanario occurs numerous times over during the initial training of a new multi engine student and is considered very safe and easy to do. www.TheAviatorNetwork.com

John - There are some basic things that you dont understand - My experience comes from more than your total time in multi engine dual given alone. Some concepts have been changed since you learned years ago, you will read about these soon and the reasons for the changes. What you learned does work in some situations, what we have evolved to is in fact a procedure that is a step better than before. Thanks - Dan

@johnek2002 He did too identify and verify, look at the 10 second mark in the video. You see him tap his dead foot, then point to the dead engine. Then verified by closing the throttle. Aviation is very standardized these days, it sounds to me like you havent been through training in quite some time.

@johnek2002 Agree with you 100%. I have 2 real eng. fails in 4k hours as CFI.

control the yaw, get to blue line, mixture rich, pitch fully fine, throttle to full power, undercarriage up, flap up, identify... dead leg dead engine, confirm - close dead throttle, terrain critical - feather dead prop, terrain non-crit - restart procedures

Sorry I mean gen not gens!

Appreciate the video may leave some in translation but the SOPs on the 404's I used to fly were more mixtures rich, props fine, full throttle, gear up, flap up. Target correct blueline speed and heading. Use dead leg, dead engine to identify. Double Identify correct throttle by slowing pulling back before fully retarding to idle, same with pitch lever and mixture.Check 5 deg into live side and re assess correct yaw is applied . Then into subsequent item such as pump off, mags, gens etc.

over 3000 hours in the bush, 1/2 of that on multi engine...my comments regards procedure is why I'm here alive to talk about it. Rather than just slam someone why don't you encourage open discussion to eliminate this type of retoric which can kill people. I hope you don't enjoy the priviledge ( and it is a priviledge) of a pilots licence....

@johnek2002 Stop failing Flight Sim pilot… he did the right thing.
