Taming the Twin: Engine Failure During Takeoff

Whether you’re new to multiengine flying or multiengine rated but rusty, become a better, safer pilot with the AOPA Air Safety Institute’s Taming the Twin video series. These videos, in collaboration with Sporty’s, cover the fundamentals that are key to mastering multiengine flying.

Planning a multiengine takeoff involves consulting single-engine performance charts to prepare for and respond to an engine failing on takeoff. This video reviews critical preflight calculation considerations—such as accelerate-stop distance and climb performance with one engine inoperative—and a typical multiengine takeoff briefing.
