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

FREDERICK, Md., Aug. 9, 2024—In collaboration with Sporty’s Pilot Shop, the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association Air Safety Institute (ASI) released the fourth of five videos in its Taming the Twin series that provides a unique perspective on how to safely operate a multiengine airplane.

“Multiengine operations require a pilot’s methodical response to one of the engines failing in flight,” said ASI Vice President of Operations Paul Deres. “Taming the Twin: Engine Failure During Cruise reviews the process of identifying, verifying, troubleshooting, and securing the failed engine. The video also discusses how to brief the subsequent single-engine approach and landing and why a go-around on one engine should not be considered after establishing a stabilized approach with the landing committed,” Deres concluded.

The series’ final video—Taming the Twin: Engine Failure in IMC—is scheduled to be released in October.
