Textbook example of a Vmca snap roll after loss of an engine on takeoff roll. This takeoff should have been aborted. At minimum, an effort to execute the cleanup recovery drill should have been made. Neither occurred, resulting in tragic loss of life.

Hawaii King Air Crash - December 15, 2022

They shut down the wrong engine! This is why we do our drill the same way EVERY time, so we don’t miss a critical step. That can be difficult when you get that shot of adrenaline at the outset of recognizing an engine problem. However… Slow is smooth, and Smooth is fast! Execute your drill completely the same way every time to avoid this kind of outcome.

Demonstrating a Need for Continuous Proficiency

This tragic accident is a reminder to all multi engine GA pilots that continuously refreshing our One Engine Inoperative emergency skills is paramount when flying twins. The FAA has brought attention some multi engine accidents where a lack of feathering the prop before it shut down in an unfeathered condition appear to have contributed the tragedy.
