Hi there,
I was just wondering if you guys and gals could possible contribute to a discussion i've been having. If one of the engines fail on a twin engine aircraft, which would be the most preferable wind direction? The live or dead side and why?
My thoughts initially were from the dead side as the engine fails you get the obvious yaw. If the wind is coming from the dead side it would help to counteract the yawing tendency of the aircraft. However, will the aircraft not have the tendency to weathercock into wind thus increasing the tendency to yaw towards the dead engine??
Many Thanks,
JJ
