Narrative:

135 check ride. I started the aircraft at XA20 am, taxied to the end of runway and completed the run-up. We were cleared into position to hold at XA30 am. After a short time we were cleared for takeoff. I applied both throttles and I started the takeoff. The check pilot failed the left engine. I failed to retard the right throttle quickly enough, and we exited the left side of the runway approximately 300 ft from the hold position. We came to a stop 10-12 ft off the side of the runway. As for a corrective action the practice of engine failure procedures on takeoff roll is essential.

Title: A C421 PLT, DEPARTING OGD ON A CHK RIDE, DEPARTED THE L SIDE OF THE RWY WHEN CHK PLT FAILED AN ENG SHORTLY AFTER THROTTLES WERE ADVANCED FOR TKOF.

Narrative: 135 CHK RIDE. I STARTED THE ACFT AT XA20 AM, TAXIED TO THE END OF RWY AND COMPLETED THE RUN-UP. WE WERE CLRED INTO POS TO HOLD AT XA30 AM. AFTER A SHORT TIME WE WERE CLRED FOR TKOF. I APPLIED BOTH THROTTLES AND I STARTED THE TKOF. THE CHK PLT FAILED THE L ENG. I FAILED TO RETARD THE R THROTTLE QUICKLY ENOUGH, AND WE EXITED THE L SIDE OF THE RWY APPROX 300 FT FROM THE HOLD POS. WE CAME TO A STOP 10-12 FT OFF THE SIDE OF THE RWY. AS FOR A CORRECTIVE ACTION THE PRACTICE OF ENG FAILURE PROCS ON TKOF ROLL IS ESSENTIAL.
