Default RE: How to save twin if one engine stops?

One thing that no one has mentioned is that if you have to turn the bird you need to always turn to the side where the engine is still running.

The reason for this is that even with idle you still have generated air flow and the wing that is going to be inboard in the turn will need that extra airflow to help with lift.

If you turn towards the dead engine there is a good chance to start a snaping spin, [] at which time the running engine escourts the wreckage to the seen of the crash .

Been there and have multiple Tee shirts
