| 0:11.0 | The worst thing you can do in an engine failure is react too quickly and shut down the wrong engine. |
| 0:17.0 | So we're going to take a moment here and we're going to analyze the |
| 0:21.0 | situation. Now, knowing that you have a dead engine is kind of difficult in a light twin. |
| 0:32.5 | That's Seth Lake talking about why it's difficult to handle an engine failure when flying a |
| 0:36.8 | multi-engine aircraft. In a moment, we'll be talking with him about what you need to know to get a multi-engine |
