Commercial Pilot (Airplane)
Emergency Approach and Landing (Simulated) (ASEL, ASES) Lesson Plan

Introduction:

Attention:

  • Research a case study
  • Discuss how the initial conditions developed into an incident/accident/mishap
  • Relate similar personal experience of the same type of incident/accident/mishap

Motivator:

  • Helps recognize the indications of an imminent or full stall during power-on situations with the landing gear down and to make prompt, positive, and effective recoveries with a minimum loss of altitude
  • Emergency Approach and Landing (Simulated) (ASEL, ASES) simulate a stall from normal takeoff and departure
