Twin engines turboprop aircraft provides the most beneficial solution to meet the needs of short distance flight due to high fuel efficiency [1]. One of the emergency conditions which has to be considered for this type of the aircraft when one engine is out operating or one engine inoperative because it involves the safety of flight. Furthermore, a safe flight with one engine inoperative is regulated by FAR/CASR Part 25 and has to be complied during certification .Stability and control characteristics of a turboprop aircraft will change significantly if one engine inoperative condition occurs during cruise phase. The rudder and/or aileron deflections to counter the yawing and rolling moments due to the thrust of the operating engine must satisfy. Recognizing the importance of that consideration, this research will estimate the stability and control characteristics of lateral/directional in one engine inoperative condition on new turboprop 80-pax aircraft design concept.This paper presents procedures for estimating the lateral/directional static stability characteristics of a 80-pax turboprop aircraft during the conceptual design phase. The size of the rudder and aileron have to be iterated to fullfil the requirements at a condition when one engine is not operative. The rudder and the aileron deflections are estimated as functions of airspeed, roll angle, side slip angle and thrust setting. It will be shown in this paper that the required rudder deflection as well as aileron deflection can satisfy to balance the forces and moments due to asymmetrical thrust condition and the minimum control speed of the aircraft can be maintained as well.
