Easy practice for twin engine operation

It has been my observation that people new to twin engine operation sometimes have trouble visualizing the effects of the props. Because they cant see the props learning the twisting effects is difficult for some

A simple way to help them understand what happens with different forward or reverse gear selection is to use a wheelchair.

It doesn't take long for people to figure out how each wheel in forward or reverse changes direction. Going backwards is also easy and so is spinning in place all techniques used on docking.

In a few minutes people can back into a parking space at an angle and know how to straighten out the motion at the correct time.
