Good thread !

Three comments;

1. Depending on landing site, area, gross weight, DA etc I might consider leaving one engine at idle to lock torque compensating out. (right stuck,US type)

2. I had the good fortune to train with an ex vietnam, ex air america pilot (the real company)in the early 80s on stuck pedals. We did hours of them to paved runway and sod. While holding the collective (twist throttle) if you point your index finger down and keep it there it gives you an easy visual reference for which way the nose will turn as you monkey with the throttle.(US type)

3. Landing downwind is not good. At all.

Fly safe
