….The book said the starboard engine had to be cut and the prop feathered first……the 11 did not have the air scoops down the side, they only appeared on the 12/14….

Thanks for refreshing my memory. Just checked my Pilots Notes and indeed feathering the starboard prop was recommended on the NF36. Oddly enough, no mention is made of disconnecting the stick, nor is the T-shaped toggle shown on the cockpit diagram.

Just checked my NF14 Notes which recommends diving over either side but warns to retract dive brakes first – otherwise I guess you’d end up with minced aircrew. 🙁
