Ball centered during engine outs?
A colleague and I were discussing where to place the "ball" during engine outs on airliners. I've always taught and was taught to keep the ball centered. His view is that during initial ME training, the ball was kept half out and a bank of 5 degrees towards the good engine was needed. This would keep a yaw string (if installed) right down the centerline of the aircraft. His thinking is that airliners are no different.
Now I'm no aerodynamic genius so I thought I'd consult this forum. Does this apply to jet airliners?
