Safety Information
procedure calls for simulating one engine inoperative
by
reducing the power lever (throttle) on one engine
to idle while operating at an airspeed above Vsse.
Power on the other engine
is
set at maximum, then
airspeed
is
reduced at approximately one knot per
second
until
either
Vmca
or
stall warning is
obtained. During this transition, rudder should be
used to maintain directional control, and ailerons
should be
used
to
maintain a
5°
bank toward the
operative engine.
At
the first sign of either Vmca or
stall warning (which may
be
evidenced by inability
to
maintain longitudinal, lateral
or
directional
control, aerodynamic stall buffet, or stall warning
horn sound), recovery must
be initiated immediately
by reducing power to idle on operative engine and
lowering the nose to regain Vsse. Resume normal
flight. This entire procedure should be used at a saf e
altitude
of
at least 5 ,000 f eet above the ground
in
clear air only.
lf
stall warning
is
detected prior to the first sign of
Vmca,
an
engine-out
minimum
control
speed
demonstration cannot be accomplished under the
existing density altitude and gross weight conditions
and should not be attempted.
