When on the check ride with one engine out (zero thrust) make sure you stay at or above blue line. Below blue line speed with one engine you will not be able to climb and thus if you find yourself in that configuration, you must lower the nose and dive to increase speed then you can climb as long as you stay at or above blue line speed. Always keep in mind that the skymaster is a TWIN ENGINE aircraft and as such, the pilot must stay on top of it at all times. Also, on the humorous side of things, any landing you get to walk away from is a good landing. And, if you get to fly the plane again, its a great landing!Cheers
