In the first few confusing, but critical moments of an engine failure during take-off on any aircraft..engine instruments can be most confusing and contradictory...all propellor aircraft involved in public transport should be required to be equipped with autofeather systems..particularly piston twins, whose moderate performance se-climb capabilities are often negated by only small downdrafts, or delay in accomplishing the recall items ie: feathering the prop expeditiously...a C-441 is an unfair comparison to a C-404..a GTSIO 520 is no match for the TPE-331..
