That is quite interesting.

Previously, I flew this same aircraft for an airline and a very experienced operator of the type, and there was a plethora of possible procedures that we had, including, V1 cuts for Prop Auto-Feathers, and Prop Negative Feather.

The current company I work for (a corporation) has relatively basic procedures compared to my previous employer, and only has the V1 cut, prop autofeathers procedure. In my current flying takeoff briefings I state that we will complete an immediate engine shut down, even below 400 feet, if the prop does not feather.

Interestingly, at my previous employer, the two conditions for shutdown below 400 feet were 1) Engine negative feather and 2) Engine fire. What are your thoughts on the Engine fire?
