I heard an interesting tidbit from a fellow pilot who did his DHC-6 training at Air Moorea. He said that Air Moorea's company procedure was to immediately select flaps UP during an engine failure after take-off!!! This flies directly in the face of the DHC-6 flight manual and any training I've done. The correct flap setting is flaps 10.

If this guy was heavy and selected flaps up after and engine failure I can easily see a stall or loss of control happening!!!
