Flying Light Twins Safely
Webinar date: May 14, 2024
Time: 1900 Central Time/0000Z May 15

Registration not required.

About this Presentation
Noted airshow performer and multiengine instructor Doug Rozendaal takes a deeper dive into flying light twins than you probably learned in that three-day multiengine course all those years ago. For experienced twin engine pilots and those new to multiengine aircraft this discussion will cover:

• The drill: How ritual makes sense out of chaos.
• The V_MC Demonstration: How and why the benign yaw event done in training becomes a violent snap roll in practice.
• Partial power loss: How to identify and deal with the insidious partial loss of power as compared to total engine failure.
• Turning into the dead engine: Slaughtering the sacred cow that turning into a failed engine is deadly.
• Answers to viewer questions

Viewers will be able to type in their questions to be answered during the event. We’ll explain how to do so at the beginning of the webinar.

Although this American Bonanza Society program is oriented toward pilots of Beech airplanes, the discussion, techniques and procedures described are valuable to the pilot of any airplane.
