EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
(ENGINE SECURING)
(SAREPS)
Version 1/2005
4.1
PILOT FLYING PILOT NOT FLYING
As soon as an engine failure has been
detected:
Engine failure!
FLY
Directional control
Speed (V2, Venr or
Vyse)
POWER
Max continuous
CLEAN
Retract flap to optimum
(Flap APP)
Retract gear with positive
climb.
Check Propeller RPM gauge immediately
to confirm whether the in-operative
engines propeller has auto-feathered or
not (a rapidly decreasing propeller RPM is
an indication of a positive auto-feather).
Alert the PF if the propeller is not
feathered (indicated by equal/ similar
propeller RPM).
Propeller feathered
or
NO auto feather
The immediate actions to be taken in the event of NO auto feather are significantly
different to those that are required with positive auto feather confirmed.
With positive auto feather confirmed, the aircraft is flown out of the safety window (see
notes below on this concept), no further securing actions are required until safely
away.
Once safely away, in the case of a positive auto feather, the securing procedure
detailed below is used to complete the bold-faced/ memory items from the engine fire
or failure in flight checklist. Once the memory items are completed the appropriate
checklist is used as a read and do checklist to complete the securing actions.
With NO auto feather it is vitally important to secure and feather the failed engine and
its propeller. The securing procedure detailed below is used to achieve this. Once the
memory items have been completed the aircraft is flown out of the safety window and
the appropriate checklist is used to complete the securing actions.
A Safety window is a concept and cannot be defined by a fixed set of
parameters. It will vary from situation to situation.
For example:
1) In a busy circuit pattern: once clear of all the traffic (2000 AGL and
more than 5nm from the field).
2) On an IFR departure: safely on track or en-route to a holding that has
been requested from ATC or even only once in the holding pattern.
3) In mountainous terrainsafely clear of terrain.

ENGINE SECURING PROCEDURE
PILOT FLYING PILOT NOT FLYING
(IDENTIFY)
Using the dead-leg/dead-engine principle,
PF identifies which engine has failed.
Right leg dead, right engine has
failed!
(VERIFY)
While pointing to the torque gauges verify
that the identification of the failed engine
is correct.
Request confirmation from PNF:
Confirm the right engine has
failed and the left is operating?
Verify on the torque gauges and confirm:
Affirm. The right engine has
failed and left is operating.
(CONDITION LEVER)
Identify the operative engine condition
lever and place thumb against it to identify
and guard the operative engines lever.
Continue with securing actions (bold
faced items in Engine fire/fail in flight).
Guarding the left, cut the right"
o The command issued by the PF
also identifies the lever i.e. CUT
relates to the CONDITION lever.
Confirms correct lever is being guarded
and selects the in-operative engines
condition lever.
Affirm, cutting the right
Move in-operative engines CONDITION
lever to idle cut-off.
4.3
(PROP LEVER)
Places thumb against operating engines
PROPELLER Lever.
Guarding the left, feather the
right"
o The command issued by the PF
also identifies the lever i.e.
FEATHER relates to the
PROPELLER lever.
Confirms correct lever is being guarded
and selects the in-operative engines
propeller lever.
Affirm, feathering right
Feather the in-operative engines
propeller.
CAPT FO
(FIREWALL FUEL VALVE)
The Captain points to the failed engines
FUEL VALVE selector.
Right failed, confirm this is the
right?"
Closing the right
o The action called by the CAPT
also identifies the selector i.e.
Close relates to the firewall
fuel valve selector.
Confirms correct selector is being pointed
at.
Affirm, that is the right
PF PNF
(FIRE EXTINGUISHER)
Determine if a fire exists and the use of
the extinguishers is necessary. If required,
place hand over operating engines fire
extinguisher ACTUATOR.
Guarding the left, fire the right"
o The command issued by the PF
also identifies the actuator i.e.
FIRE relates to the FIRE
EXTINGUISHER actuator...
Confirms correct actuator is being
guarded and selects the in-operative
engines fire extinguisher actuator.
Affirm, firing the right
4.4
Push the in-operative engines actuator to
fire the extinguisher bottle.
Note:
o The PF is always responsible for the operative engine, as he is the one
responsible for flying the aircraft i.e. keeping it operative.
o The PNF is responsible for the securing the inoperative engine.
o To ensure that there is no confusion when verifying the failed engine
with the torque gauges and the subsequent securing of that engine the
PF always starts the verification with the failed engine ie. Confirm
right has failed and left is operating! Then moving to the left
condition lever and guarding it. This ensures that the confusion
between left and right is removed!
