Multi engine acronyms

[scooter2525]

Trying to pull from my long term memory the two acronyms used in multi engine training. Thanks.

Smacfum & past?

Smacfum & past?

Past sounds familiar. Not sure about the other.

 

[Ajax]

S - Std day
M - Max power on working engine
A - Aft C.G.
C - Critical engine prop windmilling
F - Flaps/gear up
U - Up to 5 degrees of bank into good engine
M - Most unfavorable weight

P - P-Factor
A - Accelerated Slipstream
S - Spiraling slipstream
T - Torque

Check out "Jetcareers > General > Technical Talk > Acronyms for Vmc" from August 05.

Linkey?

COMBATS. PAST. I think there is more...

Combats and past! Good call

I always used SMACMUF instead of SMACFUM, the humor in it made me remember.

You know, that makes perfect sense... I may use that whenever I get some students...if I ever get students.

Heh, I guess the acronyms vary a little by location, we had SCAMM5FF and ATPS. It looks like we had an extra "F" for full rudder deflection. But even if you don't have it in the acronym, that should be a given. Although I have heard of some schools not using full rudder to hit Vmc at a higher airspeed, apparently for an extra margin of safety.

Huh?

 

[mikecweb]

DTS

CheckDTRASH? LATEXFEELSGOOD? DEVEEPT? BOOT CORN HENS?

 

[TFaudree_ERAU]

Loud noises!

I always blocked/guarded the rudder from going full deflection when teaching multi-engine students. Rudder and prop levers. Always. Well...after the first time I had a student feather the wrong prop I did.

S - Spiraling slipstream
T - Torque

That was the worst acronym... ATP should never be allowed to create memory aids.

Actually not true but SMACFUM sucks.

I use COMBATS.

I didn't use ATP, and this is just what I was taught. Primacy...

Good, but eliminate the S...FAA does not recognize spiraling slipstream. PAT is all you need, and know why it makes one engine more critical than the other.
