Engine failure during Takeoff

Question 1

FIRST CASE:

Answer 1

Incident occurs before reaching our desired speed of 80 kts (Vr)

Question 2

What do we do?

Answer 2

Abort take off by:

• Closing throttles immediately
• Maintain directional control
• Apply brakes

Question 3

If during the abort the aircraft is out of control and we leave the runway, what do we do?

Answer 3

• We must secure both engines
  • Mixture ICO
  • Fuel Selectors OFF
  • Magnetos OFF
  • Alternators OFF
  • MASTER OFF
  • Communicate we are aborting the take off

Question 4

SECOND CASE:

In case of engine failure after take off and with runway available, what do we do?

(landing gear remains down until we have no runway available)

Answer 4

• Close throttles (eliminate differential yaw)
• FLAP 40º
• Maintain 85 Kts
• Attemp to land in remaining rwy

Question 5

What do you do once you have landed?

Answer 5

Secure both engines:

• MIXTURE ICO
• FUEL SELECTORS OFF
• MAGNETOS OFF
• ALTERNATORS OFF
• MASTER OFF (after communicating)

Question 6

THIRD CASE:

What do you do in case of engine failure after rotation but with no runway available?

Answer 6

Continue the take off following these steps

• FLY THE AIRCRAFT
  • Center the ball
  • Apply 5º of bank toward the operative engine
  • Pay attention to vertical and horizontal navigation
    
    • Maintain heading

Question 7

What do you do once you’ve gained control of the aircraft?

Answer 7

• BLUE LINE (only in case of flying over Vmc (66Kts) we will be able to apply full power if it hasn’t been applied already)
• TAKE OFF POWER (MAX 5 MIN) until we can identify which of the engines has failed
  - Mixtures Rich
  - Propellers FWD
  - Adjust for 38’’ MAP
• CLEAN UP
  - Retract Flap (if applicable)
  - Retract Landing Gear
• CLIMB
  - To MSA (in case of IMC or 1000 ft AGL in VMC conditions)
  - At this point, if we don’t clear obstables, we will identify the dead engine and then we will perform step by steap the feathering procedure as it is established

Question 8

What’s the feathering procedure?

Answer 8

• CHECK BOTH FUEL SELECTORS: Both ON
• CHECK THE MAGNETOS: Both ON
• CHECK THE MIXTURE CONTROLS: Both RICH

Question 9

How do you Identify the inoperative engine?

Answer 9

IDENTIFY INOPERATIVE ENGINE:

You must be 100% which engine has failed

• CHECK ENGINE PARAMETERS:
  -RPM, MAP and FUEL FLOW
  
  • DEAD FOOT, DEAD ENGINE (direction of yaw)
  • Start turn toward the alive engine unless it could unsafe due to nearby obstacles

Question 10

How do you check the engine parameters?

Answer 10

• CHECK ENGINE PARAMETERS
  
  • Once we’ve reached our safety altitude:
    
    • Check the possible cause
    • Visually check the engine to decide on the next steps
• Restart: RPM above 1000 revolutions
• Secure the dead engine: RPM below 1000 revolutions
• CHECK FUEL QUANTITY: the engine failure may have been caused by lack of fuel

Question 11

What do you do once the first steps have been performed?

Answer 11

RESTART or FEATHER AND SECURE THE DEAD ENGINE

Procedure available in Engine Failure during cruise

Question 12

What do we do in case of a real engine failure?

Answer 12

Control of aircraft and communications will be done by the pilot in command (instructor) and the student (or second pilot) will help the pilot in command as required

Question 13

What do you need to note about an engine failure after rotation?

Answer 13

Pilot must evaluate the conditions of the rwy remaining and decide whether to continue the take off or land straight ahead

Overall, we can say that we can land if the rwy available is triple the length previously calculated in the tables
