Narrative:

While on an ILS approach to runway 4L at ewr, I felt the aircraft yaw to the left for several seconds before the captain exclaimed 'I've lost #1.' I verified that the torque was zero. We initiated and completed the immediate action items, memory items and landing checklist. We declared an emergency and landed the aircraft without further incident. Upon clearing the runway, we accomplished the secondary items on the engine failure-fire checklist and the after landing checklist. The passenger were deplaned in the normal manner at the gate. Although we accomplished the checklists appropriately and in a timely manner, it is worth noting that we had little training in managing power loss while on final approach.

Title: AN ATR42 ON FINAL APCH FOR LNDG AT EWR HAD TOTAL FAILURE OF #1 ENG. DECLARED EMER AND LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.

Narrative: WHILE ON AN ILS APCH TO RWY 4L AT EWR, I FELT THE ACFT YAW TO THE L FOR SEVERAL SECONDS BEFORE THE CAPT EXCLAIMED 'I'VE LOST #1.' I VERIFIED THAT THE TORQUE WAS ZERO. WE INITIATED AND COMPLETED THE IMMEDIATE ACTION ITEMS, MEMORY ITEMS AND LNDG CHKLIST. WE DECLARED AN EMER AND LANDED THE ACFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. UPON CLRING THE RWY, WE ACCOMPLISHED THE SECONDARY ITEMS ON THE ENG FAILURE-FIRE CHKLIST AND THE AFTER LNDG CHKLIST. THE PAX WERE DEPLANED IN THE NORMAL MANNER AT THE GATE. ALTHOUGH WE ACCOMPLISHED THE CHKLISTS APPROPRIATELY AND IN A TIMELY MANNER, IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT WE HAD LITTLE TRAINING IN MANAGING PWR LOSS WHILE ON FINAL APCH.
