Narrative:

Newark airport has just put a different departure procedure into effect when an aircraft should lose an engine. The fact that the procedure is different with and without an engine is not something that a pilot should deal with if he has just lost an engine. I realize that we brief what to do, but we are setting ourselves up for trouble when we do something different during an emergency. Callback conversation with reporter revealed the following information: reporter was confused as to whose procedure the engine out was associated with. After brief discussion he was counseled that the procedures are provided by his company and not the FAA and generally found on the 10-7 page of the approach plates. Reporter was embarrassed, but appreciative of the information.
