If it is too dangerous to carry out these procedures in RPT aircraft with only the crew aboard, then let's stop pretending that these aircraft have the magic ability to perform these manouvers with a full load of passengers aboard.
Either the aircraft cannot do it safely, or the crew training should improve.
bushy, I dont think that it is that the aircraft cannot perform, but rather how the failure is conducted.
I have done countless (simulated) V1 cuts on the Braz, and never was the prop feathered for real. Only touch drills. That leaves 4 great big paddles windmilling in the breeze.
The practice of reducing power on the remaining engine to simulate hot and heavy loads is, in my opinion bull
. It was to prevent running out of rudder authority.
It would be nice to believe that with the prop feathered then the aircraft would have the "magic ability to perform these manouvers with a full load of passangers on board".
