Identifying the inoperative engine (AMEL, AMES).

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Identifying the inoperative engine (AMEL, AMES).

Bottom line

Depending on the failure mode, the pilot will not be able to consistently identify the failed engine in a timely manner from the engine gauges. Because the left engine is the only engine delivering thrust, the yaw increases to the right, which necessitates application of additional left rudder application.
