About Failure Engine#

This application randomly fails an engine. This utility will help develop and maintain multi-engine proficiency by failing an engine when you need it most.

How does it work?

Choose a speed range where a failure can occur. Ideally a failure will happen between rotation speed and normal climb speed.
Increase or decrease the probability that a failure will occur. Three failures may occur: Catistrophic engine failure Engine fire Turbocharger failure (piston engines only). Up to 4 engines supported. Clear the failure at anytime and continue your flight. How do I install it?

  1. Unzip the downloaded file and run Setup.exe.
  2. Run FailureEngine.exe

Using it in practice

Run the application next to the simulator and set the speed window before you take off, so the failure arrives somewhere between rotation and the normal climb. That is the moment that tests a twin pilot most, because the aircraft is slow, heavy and close to the ground. Practise the drills for your aircraft, then clear the failure and continue the flight. It also works for a piston single when you want to rehearse a turbocharger problem or an engine fire.
