EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.9j Summary of Factors Affecting Single Engine Operations.
(Continued)
5. If the requirement for an immediate climb is not present, allow the
airplane to accelerate to the single-engine best rate-of-climb airspeed
since this speed will always provide the best chance of climb or least
altitude loss in a given time.
6. To maximize controllability during recovery following an engine loss
near or below V
into the operative engine and the rudder used to maintain straight
flight. This will result in the ball of the turn and slip indicator being
displaced 1/2 to 3/4 diameter towards the operating engine.
7. To maximize climb performance after airplane is under control of the
pilot and failed engine is secured, the airplane should be trimmed in a
2° to 3° bank towards the operating engine with the rudder used as
needed for straight flight. This will result in approximately 1/2 ball
displacement towards the operating engine. This ball displacement
should be maintained during any necessary maneuvering to maintain
best possible climb margins

3.11 AIR STARTING PROCEDURE (3.5b)

3.11a Unfeathering Procedure/ Unfeathering Accumulator Functioning
Move the fuel selector for the inoperative engine to the ON position and
check to make sure the electric fuel pump for that engine is ON. The mixture
should be set RICH. Open the throttle 1/4 inch and turn ON the magneto
switches.
Push the propeller control to the full forward position. If the propeller
does not windmill freely within 5 - 7 seconds after the propeller control has
been moved full forward, engage the starter for 1 - 2 seconds. The throttle
should be set at reduced power until the engine is warm. The alternator switch
should be turned ON after restart.
When propeller unfeathering occurs, it may be
necessary to retard the prop control slightly so as
to not overspeed the prop.
