Unless he had to go-around after feathering both engines.

Sorry, I'll minimize the damage as best I can while following
manufacturer's approved procedures. I'm betting nowhere in the 'ho's
AFM does it say to shut down and feather both engines on short final.

There are a million emergencies that can occur in a plane where there
are no procedures written about in the POH. There's nothing in the
regs that say you have to follow all "emergency procedures" in an
emergency. Handling an emergency isn't about just following what the
book says.

They can't buy me a
new certificate when it gets yanked because I invented my own
emergency procedures.

Has this even ever happened before? Has there been an example of the
FAA going after someone who feathered the engines while doing a
belly-up?

If it was me, I'd consider feathering them, but only if I thought it
could be done effectively. If it's a three-blade, or a turboprop of
any kind, I won't do it. If there's a chance of going around I
wouldn't do it either, but since I learned to land consistently (back
in my pre-private checkride days) I've had to go around, what, twice?



You are an idiot.
