What would you do in the event of an engine failure below V1, and what would your initial actions be?

Assuming I'm performing single pilot operations:
-
power idle,
-
max brakes (and reversers if available),
-maintain directional control using rudder input,
-
After coming to a full stop set parking break.
-
Inform ATC 'Stopping'.
-
Initiate the appropriate process to diagnose the problem (ECAM, NITS DODAR, checklists....).
-
When performing multi pilot operations the actions performed by me will depend with my current role: PF, PM and/or CM1 CM2.
What does a Mach trimmer do?
What does a Mach trimmer do?
A Mach trimmer automatically compensates for Mach tuck above Mcrit.
What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?
What does a bypass ratio of 11:1 mean?
For every 1kg of air passing through the combustion chamber, 11kg of air pass bypass the combustion chamber.
What is advection fog?
What is advection fog?
Advection fog occurs when moist air passes over a cool surface by advection (wind) and is cooled.
It is common as a warm front passes over an area with significant snowpack, but it is most common at sea when tropical air encounters cooler waters, including areas of cold water upwelling, such as along the coast of California.
What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
What are fusible plugs, where are they used, how do they work, why do we have them?
Fusible plugs offer protection from tire blowouts caused by thermal expansion that is generated in the tire under extra hard braking conditions.
Tell me, I was looking out the window and I saw white strokes coming out of the engines at cruising level, but I didn’t see it from an aircraft taking off, why is that and what is the difference?

Those are contrails.
The jet engine exhaust gases consist of carbon dioxide and water vapour.
At high altitudes the wator vapour gets released in a very cold environment. This can cause the air to be saturated with water vapour and then condenses. If cold enough the condense can freeze into white droplets. This forms the contrails.
What are the advantages of swept wings?
What are the advantages of swept wings?
Swept wings are:
Better for high speed flight as they have minimal camber and thickness reduce drag and delay Mcrit More stable in turbulence as they produce less lift and as a result they are less responsive to updraughts
How can you calculate the range of a VOR?
How can you calculate the range of a VOR?
By using the formula: Range (nm) = 1.23(√H1 + √H2)
H1=height of transmitter (feet)
H2=height of receiver (feet)
Because usually the heated air bypasses the air filter, therefore it is possible for dust to enter the engine and so exposing the engine to unnecessary engine wear.
