Taming the Twin: Engine Failure During Takeoff

By General Aviation News Staff · July 16, 2024 · Leave a Comment

In collaboration with Sporty’s Pilot Shop, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute has released the third of five videos in its Taming the Twin series on how to safely operate a multiengine airplane.

“Planning a multiengine takeoff involves being prepared for and responding to an engine failing on takeoff,” said ASI Vice President of Operations Paul Deres. “Taming the Twin: Engine Failure During Takeoff covers a typical multiengine takeoff briefing and reviews single-engine performance charts that help with critical preflight calculations such as accelerate-stop distance and climb performance with one engine inoperative.”

The series’ remaining two videos, scheduled to be released one at a time in the upcoming months, cover engine failure during cruise and engine failure in IMC.

You can see other videos in the Taming the Twin series here.
