Recommendation

CASA advised that the authority will issue an amendment to Civil
Aviation Advisory Publication (CAAP) 5.23-1(0).



The amendment will highlight appropriate engine-out training
procedures, and include a recommendation that engine-out
performance in turbo-propeller aeroplanes be simulated by the use
of an appropriate torque setting, rather than loading the aircraft
to 90 per cent of MAUW as presently recommended.



To support this amendment, CASA's Aviation Safety Compliance
Division, as part of scheduled surveillance, will ensure that
operators' manuals contain appropriate procedures for the conduct
of multi-engine training, and that targeted surveillance is
performed on operators of turbo-propeller aeroplanes conducting
multi-engine training.



To highlight this important safety initiative to the aviation
industry, CASA will draw attention to appropriate engine-out
training procedures during forthcoming safety promotion
activities.

The Civil Aviation Safety Authority have advised that they
intend to revise and re-issue CAAP 5.23-1(0) by December 2006.

In July 2007, the Civil Aviation Safety Authority issued CAAP
5.23-2(0) Multi-engine Aeroplane Operations and
Training.
