Narrative:
Flight was boarded with 30 passenger plus 1 jump seat occupant. Our gross takeoff weight was about 25050 pounds. The outside air temperature was about 100 degrees F. Taxi and before takeoff checklists were accomplished normally. Shortly after takeoff (approximately 450 ft AGL), the #2 (right side) propeller went into autofeather. The captain called 'engine failure.' I responded, 'I agree, set maximum power.' after that point, I was waiting for the other calls of 'acceleration flight, V2 +20.' this is an indication for me to call 'flaps up.' this call never came from the captain. He asked me if the propeller had feathered. That was his job, to determine if it had feathered. At that point, I called 'let's run the engine failure memory items.' we did those. I then asked if we had the flaps up. He replied, 'no, we should get those up.' I replied, 'flaps up.' I turned crosswind then downwind. We advised ATC of our situation and declared an emergency. On downwind (1500 ft AGL) I called for the single engine approach and landing checklist. The captain fumbled with the checklist for a moment, but felt we had no time to do it and did not accomplish it. I was concerned about our system settings, and confign so on base, I asked him to quickly run an in- range check to make sure we were set up for the landing. He replied, 'we never got out of range, we don't need to do that.' I called for flaps 15 degrees. He applied the flaps. I asked for 'gear down, before landing checklist.' he ran those checks. On final, we realized we had no pulled speeds for landing or go around. He estimated our reference speed and we both set our speed bugs. I landed the aircraft without further incident. We taxied back to our gate and deplaned the passenger.

Title: A COMMERCIAL LTT DECLARED AN EMER AND RETURNED TO THE FIELD DUE TO FAILURE OF THE #2 ENG ON TKOF.
Narrative: FLT WAS BOARDED WITH 30 PAX PLUS 1 JUMP SEAT OCCUPANT. OUR GROSS TKOF WT WAS ABOUT 25050 LBS. THE OUTSIDE AIR TEMP WAS ABOUT 100 DEGS F. TAXI AND BEFORE TKOF CHKLISTS WERE ACCOMPLISHED NORMALLY. SHORTLY AFTER TKOF (APPROX 450 FT AGL), THE #2 (R SIDE) PROP WENT INTO AUTOFEATHER. THE CAPT CALLED 'ENG FAILURE.' I RESPONDED, 'I AGREE, SET MAX PWR.' AFTER THAT POINT, I WAS WAITING FOR THE OTHER CALLS OF 'ACCELERATION FLT, V2 +20.' THIS IS AN INDICATION FOR ME TO CALL 'FLAPS UP.' THIS CALL NEVER CAME FROM THE CAPT. HE ASKED ME IF THE PROP HAD FEATHERED. THAT WAS HIS JOB, TO DETERMINE IF IT HAD FEATHERED. AT THAT POINT, I CALLED 'LET'S RUN THE ENG FAILURE MEMORY ITEMS.' WE DID THOSE. I THEN ASKED IF WE HAD THE FLAPS UP. HE REPLIED, 'NO, WE SHOULD GET THOSE UP.' I REPLIED, 'FLAPS UP.' I TURNED XWIND THEN DOWNWIND. WE ADVISED ATC OF OUR SIT AND DECLARED AN EMER. ON DOWNWIND (1500 FT AGL) I CALLED FOR THE SINGLE ENG APCH AND LNDG CHKLIST. THE CAPT FUMBLED WITH THE CHKLIST FOR A MOMENT, BUT FELT WE HAD NO TIME TO DO IT AND DID NOT ACCOMPLISH IT. I WAS CONCERNED ABOUT OUR SYS SETTINGS, AND CONFIGN SO ON BASE, I ASKED HIM TO QUICKLY RUN AN IN- RANGE CHK TO MAKE SURE WE WERE SET UP FOR THE LNDG. HE REPLIED, 'WE NEVER GOT OUT OF RANGE, WE DON'T NEED TO DO THAT.' I CALLED FOR FLAPS 15 DEGS. HE APPLIED THE FLAPS. I ASKED FOR 'GEAR DOWN, BEFORE LNDG CHKLIST.' HE RAN THOSE CHKS. ON FINAL, WE REALIZED WE HAD NO PULLED SPDS FOR LNDG OR GAR. HE ESTIMATED OUR REF SPD AND WE BOTH SET OUR SPD BUGS. I LANDED THE ACFT WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT. WE TAXIED BACK TO OUR GATE AND DEPLANED THE PAX.
