You need to know hoe to identify the dead engine and feather
the correct prop, otherwise you're going down. In a
conventional twin identification is holding heading with
rudder, "dead foot dead engine" and the litany is

CONTROL
POWER (up)
DRAG (gear and flaps)
IDENTIFY
VERIFY
FEATHER
FLY

secure it

In the 336/337 it isn't as easy or obvious which engine is
sick or dead.
