  power for starting the engine and a limited supply of electrical power for use in the event the alternator or generator fails. Most DC generators do not produce a sufficient amount of electrical current at low engine rpm to operate ... have receptacles to which an external ground power unit (GPU) may be connected to provide electrical energy for starting. These are very useful, especially during cold weather starting. Follow the manufacturer’s recommendations for engine starting using…

  pilot should understand the lag and anticipate and lead the power changes more than in the past and should keep in mind that the last 30 percent of engine rpm represents the majority of the engine thrust. Below that setting ... application of power has very little effect. A second consideration for transitioning pilots concerns turbine engine heat sensitivity. A turbine engine cannot tolerate an over temperature condition for more than a very seconds without experiencing serious damage. Engine temperatures…

  First, adjust the power to the maximum controllable level on both engines. Because the left engine is the only engine delivering thrust, the yaw increases to the right, which necessitates application of additional left rudder application. Figure ... worldwide. Its application is illustrated in column A while automatic/naturalistic decision-making is shown in column B. The failed engine is the side that requires no rudder pressure, in this case the right engine. Second, having identified the failed right…

  overrun available to land on. The use of wing flaps for takeoff virtually eliminates the likelihood of a single-engine climb until the flaps are retracted. There are two time-tested memory aids the pilot may find useful in dealing ... with engine-out scenarios. The first, “dead foot—dead engine” is used to assist in identifying the failed engine. Depending on the failure mode, the pilot will not be able to consistently identify the failed engine in a timely manner…

  this point, the speed of the drive (N1) is the true speed of the compressor side of the engine, approximately 37,500 rpm. Powerplant (engine and propeller) operation is achieved by three sets of controls for each engine: the power ... lever, propeller lever, and condition lever. [Figure 15-6] The power lever serves to control engine power in the range from idle through takeoff power. Forward or aft motion of the power lever increases or decreases gas generator…
