The Swearingen-TEB incident: control issues with twins

It sounds
like once the aircraft gets near that point, there isn't much you could do.

Chop power to the operating engine.

Why do men's hearts beat faster, knees get weak, throats become dry,
and they think irrationally when a woman wears leather clothing?
Because she smells like a new truck.

Yeah, I see why that works. I also see why people might not always
remember to do it at the right moment. Yes, loss of some more power
is *clearly* better than loss of control, when I'm calmly thinking
about it at my desk. But in the cockpit, when I've already lost half
my power and am having trouble dealing with it, I can see why people
get it wrong now and then.
