Twin-engine propeller aircraft accidents occur due tomechanical reasons as well as human error, such as misidentifying a failedengine. This paper proposes a visual indicator as an alternative method to thedead leg–dead engine procedure to identify a failedengine. In total, 50 pilots without a multi-engine rating were randomly assignedto a traditional (dead leg–dead engine) or an alternative (visualindicator) group. Participants performed three takeoffs in a flight simulatorwith a simulated engine failure after rotation. Participants in the alternativegroup identified the failed engine faster than the traditional group. A visualindicator may improve pilot accuracy and performance during engine-outemergencies and is recommended as a possible alternative for twin-enginepropeller aircraft.
