Interesting read...

An Embry Riddle  "Multi-Engine Airplane Guide" that you'll certainly find great to read.

 

Somehow a shoot in my own foot :-)  in as far as torque effects go... Oops!

I know... I didn't know if the link is legal....

 

But if you google the exact title... you'll find it ;-) - it's the ERAU one ....

 

Sorry...

Don't know what the "shoot in my own foot" is about............ But do remember, torque effects will show when engine power is high, and airspeed is low. And that's what happens when you loose an engine at low airspeeds, where it really matters. Such as "takeoff", which is the worst timing. In the meantime, from page 15........ "When a multi‐engine airplane loses an engine it experiences a yaw and roll. To counteract

this, the rudder can be used to stop the yaw and the resulting roll." And then it goes farther, as when you run out of rudder......and over she goes...

Yes I know, but the text is full of references to the torque effects, and I was kidding when I wrote that "shoot in my foot" :-)

 

Anyway, a good manual for those who have to use the Seminole for flight training...

Interesting document!

 

However, the "spiral slipstream moving to the right because the propeller moves right" (page 15) looks like nonsense to me.

 

Since the propeller rotates clockwise, seen from below it would appear to "move right" (but that is now the original left, since we're looking at it from below), and hence according to this reasoning the slipstream should move left instead.

 

So IMO this reasoning doesn't hold up.

I agree Murmur... Alas, there are many things written in many Aviation manuals, including the syllabus I used years ( decades ) ago for my glider pilot license, that are complete nonsense, even

stupidly wrong! I don't say that the document of this thread is such an example, no way, but there are some things in it, just like that one you pointed out, that I really can't figure :-/

Sorry 'bout that!

 

Gotta love Google search. It was the first document in the results :)

 

Thanks again,
