Hi all!

I just wondering what to do if one engine stops? Can i try to help with rudder to correct torque?

Please tell me helping hints how to work if engine quits?

Yes, rudder....and of course some aileron...

If you're near the ground such as on take-off, then there's usually not much else you can do. If you can keep it on the ground then by all means do so. If you've already broken ground, then pull the throttle back and hope for the best.

If you have altitude, you can pull the throttle back to idle, use some rudder to hlp with the adverse yaw and bring it in as you would a dead-stick landing.

If you're experienced (if you're asking this question then you're probably not) you can pull the throttle back to regain some control, bring the throttle back up slowly whilst adding rudder.
