"control-power-drag-identify-verify-fix or feather"

P props feathered
U unfavorable CG, usually aft
T Trim for takeoff
F flaps/cowl flaps
L landing gear down
A airborn out of ground effect
P power, max sea level
S sea level max gross weight

L Lycoming
H Horizontally opposed
A Air cooled
N Normally aspirated
D Direct drive

engines rated at 180 horsepower at 2700 RPMs with the right engine being an LO-360 as a designator for the left or counter clockwise rotating propeller.

"VMC is the calibrated airspeed at which, when the critical engine is suddenly made inoperative, it is possible to maintain control of the airplane with that engine still inoperative, and thereafter maintain straight flight at the same speed with an angle of bank of not more than 5 degrees. The method used to simulate critical engine failure must represent the most critical mode of powerplant failure expected in service with respect to controllability."

And oh yea...dont feather the wrong engine

I studied and taught the MEI stuff for so long I think it is stuck in my memory forever
