If you were to have one engine fail in a Multi Engine aircraft of course you would feather the propeller of the failed engine. My question is, if you were to have the other engine fail after the first one (so a dual engine failure) would you also feather that propeller as well or should only one propeller be feathered in the event of dual engine failure? I believe I heard that in this situation that if you were to have a second engine failure that you should not feather the propeller and that only one propeller should be feathered. Can anyone explain why and aerodynamically what would happen if you experienced a dual engine failure and feathered both propellers?
Thanks!
