AOPA’S AIR SAFETY INSTITUTE RELEASES ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF IN ‘TAMING THE TWIN’ VIDEO SERIES

FREDERICK, Md., July 12, 2024—In collaboration with Sporty’s Pilot Shop, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) released the third of five videos in its Taming the Twin series that provides a unique perspective on how to safely operate a multiengine airplane.

“Planning a multiengine takeoff involves being prepared for and responding to an engine failing on takeoff,” said ASI Vice President of Operations Paul Deres. “Taming the Twin: Engine Failure During Takeoff covers a typical multiengine takeoff briefing and reviews single-engine performance charts that help with critical preflight calculations such as accelerate-stop distance and climb performance with one engine inoperative,” Deres concluded.

The series’ remaining two videos are scheduled to be released one at a time in the upcoming months. They cover engine failure during cruise and engine failure in IMC.
