| Nov 20, 2015 at 21:20 | comment | added | abelenky | As a PPL, I was watching a CFII in a twin-sim when he was given an engine out situation. He ended up shutting down the good one. When we talked about his thinking later, one major factor was that in his mind, one engine was dead... and you don't bother giving control inputs to a dead engine. (kinda seems common-sense, right?) So he ended up going through the shutdown sequence, but on the good engine. Obviously, task saturation was another major factor. | |
| Nov 20, 2015 at 18:15 | comment | added | Sanchises | This video might be interesting: note that both pilots have to agree (affirm) before 1) thrust to idle, 2) engine master switch off and 3) engine fire switch on. | |

| Nov 19, 2015 at 18:41 | comment | added | DJClayworth | I'm not sure about a standard procedure, but I was taught to say aloud "dead leg, dead engine", meaning that the leg you are not pushing with to maintain directional control is the one with the problem. Only works on twins of course, and only if they have lost power. | |

Duplicate of Why is there no alert if shutting down a running engine during flight? [duplicate] | |
| Nov 19, 2015 at 14:55 | comment | added | Pondlife | @CGCampbell After reading your comment I've just nominated the linked question to be reopened. I don't see any reasonable way that a question about shutting down an engine can be a dupe of one about bank angles. It looks like over-generalizing to me. Others may disagree, of course :-) | |
| Nov 19, 2015 at 14:06 | comment | added | CGCampbell | The question that Simon points to is itself marked as duplicate, however the answer given in it before it was so marked is the answer that I believe would be given here, so I agree with this duplicate marking. | |
