We had one not come out of feather the other day. Which was already discussed here. We talked on practice area freq to the aircrew and after all bases were covered advised to declare and land. The owners are livid because they had no idea we were shutting engines down in flight. We went over this with them in great detail when we brought on our twin program but they thought we meant we would simulate it with zero thrust. No way around the PTS. It's letter A. Our 141 syllabus even has it for four different lessons. Wanted to see how the rest of the world felt before I go on e red carpet Monday.
If it's in the syllabus, then there should be no suprise for the owners. Stand your ground, & back yourself up with the syllabus & more importantly, the PTS.
