Hi Beagle

Not sure what you mean by your statement:

But I was even more surprised to learn that there is apparently no published POH engine out allowance for the Seneca even at sea level and ISA
May be you can elaborate a bit and I will have a look and see if I can find what you are looking for.

Formationfoto I can only echo Sycamore's sentiments:

Why did you try to get into an 800m strip when there are lots of civil/mil airfields around the UK, AND not declaring a Mayday either? I would hope that you would not repeat that again..
If things would have gone wrong that would have made interesting reading in the AAIB report.

'The experienced pilot encountered a problem with the feathering mechanism which he tried to sort out by flying on one engine for an hour.

Version 1. He then suffered an engine failure on the live engine and had to make a forced landing in a field the aircraft was a write off in the subsequent landing.

Version 2. After he established that the problem could not be sorted out in the air he flew back to the home base a 800 meter grass strip............................

BTW what is the accelerate-stop distance for a 310?

MHO of course
