Emergency Procedures
DETERMINING INOPERATIVE ENGINE
BEECHCRAFT
Duchess 76
The following checks will help determine which engine has
failed:
1. DEAD FOOT - DEAD ENGINE. The rudder pressure
required to maintain directional control will be on the
side of
the operative engine.
2. THROTTLE. Partially retard the throttle for the engine
that is believed to be inoperative; there should
be no
change in control pressures
or in the sound of the en-
gine if the correct throttle has been selected. AT LOW
ALTITUDE AND AIRSPEED
THIS CHECK MUST BE
ACCOMPLISHED WITH EXTREME CAUTION.
Do not
attemptto determine the inoperative engine by means
of the tachometers or the manifold pressure gages. These
instruments often indicate near normal readings.
