ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Simulate feathering the propeller on the inoperative engine (evaluator should then establish zero thrust on the inoperative engine).

Bottom line

When an instructor simulates an engine failure, the learner should respond with the appropriate memory items and retard the appropriate propeller control toward the FEATHER position. Assuming zero thrust will be set, the instructor promptly moves the propeller control forward and sets the appropriate manifold pressure and rpm. If zero thrust is set to simulate a feathered propeller, the cowl flap is normally closed and the mixture leaned.
