Engine failure

[EHM-1612 Paolo]

Today I did a flight from Schipol to LOWW in Austria with the Fokker 70, approaching the rwy on LOWW my right engine collapsed, I tried to turn it on but it preferred to sleep.....:{
So I adjusted the plane on the left to go straight on to the rwy, but It didn't worked and I was really nervous. I tried to turn the plane on right (even if I tought that I will have hit the tower or other planes on ground...) and the plane landed pratically on the center line of the rwy. I add some pics to explain it better:

On the rwy on final



My question is: Is it normal turning right when you right engine is damaged? I tried it sometimes but I have always turned to the left and everything was perfect..
I think that when your right engine is down you must turn left to go straight on.....

Well, they say 'raise the dead' - ie raise the wing with the dead engine on it.

Yeah, I always that that was the case... if you raise the dead engine the plane will want to turn towards the good engine which should keep it flying straight. You should also try a windmill turn; that is, lowering the nose to about 5 degree so that the air outside can get the fan in the turboprop moving, and then start up the engines. I don't know if the simulator's realistic enough to do this, though!!

Honestly, I can't tell you if it's normal for the plane to be turning to the side of the dead engine!! Sorry!
