barit1:

you raise an excellent point...at that time ( mind you it was 17 years ago) pretty much everyone had been sim trained in 3 engine ferry on this type of plane...the ALF engine was not the most robust. (ALF= avco lycoming fan?)

Lots of special things to do, even drawing with a pencil certain power settings ON THE THROTTLE quadrant.

I recall the sim training and really flying it on 3 wasn't all that bad...losing another one especially on takeoff would have required considerable skill I think.

if you put the passengers safety and comfort first you probably won't do too badly.

all the best
