ORIGINAL: cappaj1
I was wondering, if anyone has an idea what were the chances of recovery at the point in the video where it starts to go down, flying with a single engine?
After losing the right engine, heclimbed a bitand decayed airspeed... not good. He then allowed it to sustainyaw to the dead engine while holding the nose up.

You'llhave your hands full maintaining flightwith one engine out... Full or near full power is a must for the remaining engine while counteracting the resulting yaw.

Ihate to see that happen, it was a nice plane too.
