The right engine was out and the pilot chose to do a left turn. Is the choice related?

  It's good airmanship to turn into your "good" engine.

    Why? Surely it's easier to turn the other way? Then again, it's not a dogfight, so maybe less chance of losing control if turning into the working engine?

      Because you may not be able to get out of your turn that way. The aircraft 'wants' to turn over the bad engine so you could easily get caught in a feed-forward situation.

      > Surely it's easier to turn the other way? That's exactly why. Because then it helps you getting out of your turn, instead of fighting against it.
