AirDorrin: Multi-engine Ground School -
Lesson #5
Emergency
Procedures and Single Engine Operation
This lesson will ensure the pilot responds promptly and knowledgably to
an engine failure in flight or on takeoff. Several approaches will then
be made using two engines and one engine, to ensure that single engine
operations are understood.

to the real world)
- Failure on takeoff example – sim only
- Checklist
- Flying on a single engine
- Feathering
- Restarting the failed engine
- Use of Cowl Flaps

QUESTIONS
What could be your first indication of a power loss in one engine at takeoff?
What procedure could be used in a centerline thrust twin to help detect a power problem during takeoff?
How does the single-engine landing procedure differ from a landing with both engines available?
Why are full stalls never practiced during single engine operations in a twin?
Describe which systems rely solely on the left or right engine (there
may be none in the Seneca III, but you should always know this).
