The 757 has a lot of power, but it's the controllability that is very difficult. Having a high thrust/weight ratio is required for engine out
situations in a twin but it is much harder to control than a B1900D because the assymetric feeling due to the engines power makes it
serisously hard to control, not to mention it is many times bigger and far less responsive and if you **** up you die. I only just made the
runway when I had the engine failure on the B757 I am pretty sure however that I could walk through an engine failure on a b1900 no
problem. The 757 was completely unable to turn left on final approach with the left engine producing approach thrust and that includes
with full left rudder trim. Actually getting the 757 on the runway is a challenge i such a situation but no way is it hard to get on the erunway
in the B1900 with a failed engine.
The problem with engine mfailures is not the lack of thrust, the plane can easily fly like that (unless all engines fail) but the problem is controllability because the engines are not centered in the middle axis of the plane. The B1900 D's proeller produce a tork which rolls it to the left so a left engine failure on that would be more difficult than one a 757 because of the extra tork effect. But a right engine failure on a B1900 would be easier to control than on the 757 because the tork of the working engne counter acts the assymetric feeling slightly. Does this make sense?
