SIMULATED ONE ENGINE INOPERATIVE
ZERO THRUST (Simulated Feather)
Use the following power setting (only on one engine at a time) to establish zero thrust. Use of this
power setting avoids the difficulties of restarting an engine and preserves the availability of engine
power.
The following procedure should be accomplished by alternating small reductions of propeller and then
throttle, until the desired setting has been reached.
1. Propeller Lever - RETARD TO FEATHER DETENT
2. Throttle Lever - SET 12 in. Hg MANIFOLD PRESSURE
NOTE
This setting will approximate Zero Thrust using recommended One-
Engine Inoperative Climb speeds.
SPINS
If a spin is entered inadvertently:
Immediately move the control column full forward, apply full rudder opposite to the direction of the
spin and reduce power on both engines to idle. These three actions should be done as near
simultaneously as possible; then continue to hold this control position until rotation stops and then
neutralize all controls and execute a smooth pullout. Ailerons should be neutral during recovery.
NOTE
Federal Aviation Administration Regulations did not require spin
demonstration of airplanes of this weight; therefore, no spin tests
have been conducted. The recovery technique is based on the best
available information.
