Multi-Engine Training - Part 1: The Drill
Watch and learn as Doug Rozendaal, an experienced flight instructor, pilot examiner and airshow pilot, takes us through "The Drill", the immediate steps required to quickly and safely reconfigure a twin-engine aircraft for single-engine flying after the failure of an engine.
Multi-engine flying is fun and easy with both engines running, but when one engine fails, it can be a handful. Doug is very passionate about "The Drill", and about practicing it regularly in recurrent training - and I believe after watching this video, you will have to agree.
Recorded during actual multi-engine instruction in Doug's Beechcraft Baron, this video as well as the one on VMC (minimum control speed) will help you understand what you need to know to make flying twins as safe as it can be.

Dang. The instructor is so cool, calm, and smooth. It’s like listening to your wise uncle.
I've said 100 times that flying and teaching are separate and distinct skill sets. This guy has both.

You couldn't be more right about that. I believe that any prospective multi-prop pilot should have this series drilled into their heads as Doc says... Like "Mary had a little lemb!" I can't tell you how much I appriciate Doc's militant and must have drilled into our heads approach regarding the above mentioned. Ern

That Tonka plane on the table....... I had one of those growing up in the 80's and 90's, and I think that might have been the single object I can trace all of my aviation obsession back to!! 35 or so odd years later here I am finishing my commercial training with multi engine training coming up soon. Enough about the toy. Fantastic video, I am glad I found this golden nugget on KZread!

Andrew Sarangan that is an instructor that knows his stuff
Having been an MEI, CFII, etc etc for 20+ years, I will say the best part of this video is the following. It is apparent, at least to me, that you didnt do much, if any, prep for making this video. You walked into the training just like any other student. You could see the learning curve and of course some mistakes were made...like all of us have made. That made this video genuine and contributes immensely to its weight as a teaching tool.

It would be nice to have a cup of coffee during the drill on my engine failure 😁 . I just went back to watch this video again. I’ll never stop watching.
This video was superb. There were some real "take-home" principles in this...I especially appreciated the comment that "pilots do not rise to the occasion but rather sink to the level of their most recent training." Thank you for sharing this.

Doug's concept of "The Drill" is solid, and yet, having flown 9000+ hours in multi-engine airplanes myself (3000+ instructor hours), using the statement, "slap the dead leg," is a negative reinforcement and goes contrary to being proactive, which we, as pilots, should be. It requires two, possibly three, thought processes, prior to execution. A positive, proactive technique would be: step on the ball, step on the low hand (because roll follows yaw -- and most won't catch the yaw, at first, resulting in a roll toward the dead engine -- and the yoke will *always* point to the good engine), step on the good engine. This will prevent retarding the wrong throttle, during the "Identify" phase. Moreover, the objective is to level the yoke for minimum drag configuration, so to ensure maximum thrust is providing the best performance, ESPECIALLY if you have a critical engine. Also, the comment, "Now we're going to take a minute and fly the airplane," is out of place. First course of action in *ANY* emergency: Fly the airplane! Second action? Fly the airplane. Third? Fly. The. Airplane. Granted, part of flying the airplane is dealing with the emergency, but listen: If an engine is on fire, guess what it's doing? Providing thrust! Get away from the ground; give yourself options. Don't be too quick to pull an engine, etc., all the while flying a low level over an apartment complex -- not smart. This gentleman is a great instructor, no doubt...just wanted to share another perspective. :-)

i prefer "step on the live engine".Ive always struggled with the concept of 'dead leg, dead engine'-heres why.In powerful twins, your hard working leg goes `dead `pretty quickly-as in runs out of power-you go numb. So-stepping on the live engine is just more intuitive. Cheers.
@moonpaws1

Correct me if I'm wrong....so an engine failure produces a skidding turn instead of a slipping turn? If that is the case, then the ball would be to the right in a left engine failure, and stepping on the good engine would be appropriate.
@moonpaws1

What do you mean by "stepping on the yoke? If the plane without my input rolls to the left because of an engine out, will not your left hand be lower than your right?

@TyTanium1294

@@moonpaws1 I know this is an old post and you prob already got the answer but I’ll respond anyway just in case. If you lose the left engine for instance, the aircraft will yaw and roll to the left and instinctively you will steer the yoke to the right. At that time, the right handle of the yoke will be lower than the left. What the OP is saying (which I’ve never heard, but I really like) is “step on the low side of the yoke.” As you add right rudder (in this scenario), the aircraft will begin to track straight and you’ll instinctively remove some of the right yoke. What I really like about this technique, is it allows you to maintain your eyes on the horizon while you get the attitude stabilized (as opposed to looking inside for the ball).
Now that is a good teacher
