Dash-8 turboprop.

With autofeather inoperative, therefore assuming an unfeathered propeller following an engine failure at V1, we must reduce our TOW by about 30%. (This is quite approximate you understand; there are several pages of tables to look up for any specific WAT combination.)

In practice it means that the payload is reduced to just about zero!
