B200 EFATO

Ladies and Gentlemen,

There is much conversation here about the content of the radio call describing the failure.

Can I please offer some advice to all without any reference to the actual course of events in this incident other than:

A radio call will not help you; a radio call does nothing for you!!

Making a radio call will reduce your capacity to fly, slow down your reactions and slow down your actions. DO NOT make radio calls in case of an EFATO.

The correct course of action is POWER DRAG TRIM and you will fly away safely.

I have flown the B200 and it was later in my career. I used to do my LPCs on the aircraft deliberately at MTOW and on one occasion the TRE would not let me feather to show me what it was like. It did climb away at V2 without the failed engine feathered, only just but it did climb when in trim with full power on the live engine and flown accurately at V2 without large control movements i.e. smoothly without any unnecessary drag.

Forget about radio calls and fly the aircraft accurately!!!!

After you have climbed away you can make a call only if you have capacity and after everything is under control.
