Engine failure after GO
Hi guys, here is a little tip how to stabilize the initial recovery on B744
What you need is the right amount of pitch and rudder. But that's nothing new.
Try this and you will be able to let the yoke go and have a trimmed A/C BEFORE you punch in the AP
You will need back trim. loosing an engine will cause your nose to drop. The B744 needs in sim 3 seconds of back trim. Use your thumb, count till 3 and you can nail those 10-12 pitch depending on weight. easy
now comes the tougher part. Rudder. If you loose Nr 1 or Nr 4 engine with full thrust, your amount of rudder required will be close to full travel. Don't kick it in, just apply smooth. With D-TO 60 it's about half travel. The rest is in-between. So you know before T/O pretty close how much you have to use that rudder. What the B744 doesn't like at all is alternating rudder-imputs.that makes the A/C go really shaky and all parameters go crazy. Apply your expected rudder-imput and check the coordination-indicator. After that correct only once!!!Nail your heels on the ground after that. Hope you hit the right one;-) little trim for neutralizing rudder-pressure, just relax and enjoy the ride. With some practise you will have it stabilized in 200' and just relax and wait until you got the 400' to start the procedure.
