Back to the technical aspects

It's been many years since I flew the 340, but one potential embarrassing scenario, as I recall, would be to use all one's skill to land and come to a stop, with no hydraulics (no brakes, no steering), only to feather the props during which the burst of thrust would send you into the weeds. At our place we recommended in this situation, and when parked on very poor braking action surfaces, shutting down using the fire handles to avoid the feathering maneuver.

Any input from more current and qualified folk?
