TM 55-1550-222-10
Continue the climb at V2. Do not retract the flaps if they
are set to 14° for takeoff. Level the aircraft at an
altitude of 500 feet above the airport field elevation.
Accelerate to Venr, then raise the flaps, if extended.
After flap retraction is complete, reduce power on the
operating engine to maximum continuous and continue
the climb at Venr.
Field performance data, as obtained from Chapter 7 is
predicated on no power adjustments from the point of
brake release, to the power reduction at 500 feet. The
Static Power Setting Chart in Chapter 7 permits a power
setting that allows for normal torque increase during the
takeoff roll and the ensueing climb. The static power is
determined so that at some point during the climb to 500
feet, the torque or TGT will reach red line. (The TGT
limit will only be reached on a minimum performance
engine. A better than minimum engine will exhibit a
positive TGT margin under these conditions.) Setting of
a static power greater than that presented in Chapter 7
will result in an engine limit being exceeded prior to the
aircraft reaching 500 feet, necessitating an unscheduled
power adjustment. Setting of a static power less than
that presented in Chapter 7 will result in insufficient
power available and failure of the aircraft to attain
scheduled performance.
1.
Power Maximum allowable.
2.
Gear UP (two positive climb indications).
3.
Propeller Verify feathered.
4.
Flaps UP after Venr (121 KIAS).
5.
Landing lights OFF.
6.
Engine cleanup Perform.
7.
Land as soon as practicable.
NOTE
Holding 5 degrees of bank towards
the operating engine will assist in
maintaining directional control and
will improve aircraft performance.
d. Engine Malfunction During Flight. If an engine
malfunctions during flight, perform the following:
1.
Autopilot/Yaw Damp Disengage.
2.
Power As required.
3.
Dead engine Identify.
4.
Power lever (dead engine) IDLE.
5.
Propeller lever (dead engine) FEATHER.
6.
Condition
lever
(dead
engine)
FUEL
CUTOFF.
7.
Gear As required.
8.
Flaps As required.
9.
Engine Cleanup Perform.
10.
Power Set for Single Engine Cruise.
11.
Land as soon as practicable.
e.
Engine Malfunction During Final Approach.
If an engine malfunctions during final approach (after
LANDING CHECK) the propeller should not be manually
feathered unless time and altitude permit or conditions
require it. Continue approach using the following
procedure:
1.
Power As required.
2.
Gear DN.
f.
Engine Malfunction (Second Engine). If the
second engine fails, do not feather the propeller if an
engine restart is to be attempted. Engine restart without
starter assist cannot be accomplished with a feathered
propeller, and the propeller will not unfeather without the
engine operating. 121 KIAS is recommended as the
best all around glide speed (considering engine restart,
distance covered, transition to landing configuration,
etc.), although it does not necessarily result in the
minimum rate of descent. Perform the following
procedure if the second engine fails during cruise flight.
1.
Airspeed 121 KIAS.
2.
Power lever IDLE.
3.
Propeller lever Do not FEATHER.
4.
Conduct engine restart procedure.
9-7. ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN FLIGHT.
If it becomes necessary to shut an engine down during
flight, perform the following:
1.
Power lever IDLE.
2.
Propeller lever FEATHER.
3.
Condition lever FUEL CUTOFF.
4.
Engine cleanup Perform.
9-8. ENGINE CLEANUP.
The cleanup procedure to be used after engine
malfunction, shutdown, or an unsuccessful restart is as
follows:
