So if the downwind engine had failed, it would be the engine "whose failure would most adversely affect the performance or handling qualities" and it is indeed critical.
So maybe I am reading your answer wrong but your still essentially saying take the wind into the good engine correct?Like Crkpipe said this is a stupid question and you do not have a choice really but the test asks this and i dont want to be sitting there switching my answer a million times. I guess now that were on it, which is worse to lose on TO? Is my understanding the the upwind engineis worse to lose wrong? I really appreciate the answers though guys.
