SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.9e Engine Failure During Climb (3.5a)
If engine failure occurs during climb, a minimum airspeed of 88 KIAS
(V ) should be maintained. Since one engine will be inoperative and the
YSE
other will be at maximum power, the airplane will have a tendency to turn in
the direction of the inoperative engine. Rudder pedal force on the side of the
operative engine will be necessary to maintain directional control.
After the faulty engine has been identified and power loss has been
verified, complete the Engine Securing Procedure. Continue a straight ahead
climb until sufficient altitude (minimum of 1000 feet above ground elevation)
is reached to execute the normal Single Engine Landing procedure at the
nearest suitable airport.
For maximum climb performance in single engine flight, sideslip must be
minimized by banking towards the operating engine 2° to 3°. The ball of the
turn and slip indicator will be approximately 1/2 diameter out of center
towards the operating engine for straight flight and should remain so displaced
during any maneuvering necessary.
During this climb, engine temperatures must remain at or below specific
limits set by the engine manufacturer. Use of full open cowl flaps on the
operating engine will ensure that the established temperature limitations will
not be exceeded on a day where air temperatures are 100°F at sea level
decreasing from that point by 3.5°F per 1000 feet of altitude.
Land as soon as practical at the nearest suitable airport.
