Safety Recommendation
The ATSB recommends that CASA consider providing formal advisory
material for operators and pilots, based on relevant research and
publications, about managing engine failures and other emergencies
during takeoff in multi-engine aircraft below 5,700 kg MTOW. This
material should include the factors to be considered by operators
when developing procedures for responding to such emergencies.
CASA has reviewed this recommendation and considers it to be
unrealistic given the large number of aircraft types involved and
the sometimes unique characteristics and procedures associated with
each type of aircraft. Plus
There are a number of publications currently available dealing with
multi-engine training and the factors to be considered by operators
when developing procedures for responding to emergencies. In
addition, operators are required to produce appropriate procedures
manuals that are reviewed by CASA.
