In-Flight Engine Failure: The Drift Down Procedure

[@anand-menon]

Captain Gabrielle, a couple of questions 1. An engine failure produces yaw into the failed engine. Does the yaw damper take care of that or do you have to permanently have to put your foot on the rudder? 2. Half the thrust plus additional drag plus operating an engine at a lower drift down altitude means range is significantly reduced in a single engine failure situation. Isn't this critical during ETOPS?

Hello, 1; it depends on the Aircraft, you have a rudder trim that will help you with that. 2: it should be taken into consideration during flight planning and an alternate should be available at all times.

Very clear! Thank you sir.

You are very welcome

Thank you Captain

Very good.

Thanks for watching!

Hi there captain and thank you for the well informative video My question is, if as a failure we have an engine fire, we did the part of flying the aircraft, then do we do the memory items to take care of the fire or do we inform the ATC first prior to the memory items? Thank you once more.

Thx Cap

Hello Gabriele, You said that you make a 45 deg left or right turn. 1) How far do I have to be off my route? 2) If I have reached a certain offtrack distance by flying 45 deg, do I need to fly parallel to the programmed route? 3) Would you use offset function of the FMC/FMGS?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Hi, you start the turn for deviation, and then you coordinate with ATC

[@Markenature]

If such happened can I use the rudder trim to compensate the yaw and roll, so what about my speed can i maintain VMCA LIMIT

[@PILOTCLIMB]

It depends on the strategy you want to apply

Hi... Is there a page in the FMC you can select giving single engine data ????

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Yes, EO page...

In which mode do you descent? Lvl change with MCT (w/o A/T) should do the trick, right?

[@PILOTCLIMB]

Correct!

[@coolaamir16]

Thank you sir

Hello. How to set MCT on 737? In FMC?
