Private Pilot - Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated) Airman Certification Standards:
- Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with approach and landing with an engine inoperative, including engine failure on final approach
- Note: See Appendix 2: Safety of Flight and Appendix 3: Aircraft, Equipment, and Operational Requirements & Limitations for information related to this Task
- References: FAA-H-8083-2, FAA-H-8083-3, FAA-H-8083-25; FAA-P-8740-66; POH/AFM
Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated) Knowledge:
The applicant demonstrates understanding of:-
PA.IX.G.K1:
Factors affecting minimum controllable speed (VMC) -
PA.IX.G.K2:
VMC (red line) and best single-engine rate of climb airspeed (VYSE) (blue line) -
PA.IX.G.K3:
How to identify, verify, feather, and secure an inoperative engine -
PA.IX.G.K4:
Importance of drag reduction, including propeller feathering, gear and flap retraction, the manufacturer’s recommended control input and its relation to zero sideslip -
PA.IX.G.K5:
Applicant responsibilities during simulated feathering
Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated) Risk Management:
The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:-
PA.IX.G.R1:
Potential engine failure inflight or during an approach -
PA.IX.G.R2:
Collision hazards -
PA.IX.G.R3:
Configuring the airplane -
PA.IX.G.R4:
Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) -
PA.IX.G.R5:
Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation -
PA.IX.G.R6:
Possible single-engine go-around
Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated) Skills:
The applicant exhibits the skill to:-
PA.IX.G.S1:
Promptly recognize an engine failure and maintain positive airplane control -
PA.IX.G.S2:
Set the engine controls, reduce drag, identify and verify the inoperative engine, and simulate feathering of the propeller on the inoperative engine (evaluator should then establish zero thrust on the inoperative engine) -
PA.IX.G.S3:
Use flight controls in the proper combination as recommended by the manufacturer, or as required to maintain best performance, and trim as required -
PA.IX.G.S3:
Follow the manufacturer’s recommended emergency procedures and complete the appropriate checklist -
PA.IX.G.S5:
Monitor the operating engine and make adjustments as necessary -
PA.IX.G.S6:
Maintain the manufacturer’s recommended approach airspeed +10/-5 knots, in the landing configuration with a stabilized approach, until landing is assured -
PA.IX.G.S7:
Make smooth, timely, and correct control application before, during, and after touchdown -
PA.IX.G.S8:
Touch down on the first one-third of available runway/landing surface, with no drift, and the airplane’s longitudinal axis aligned with and over the runway center or landing path -
PA.IX.G.S9:
Maintain directional control and appropriate crosswind correction throughout the approach and landing -
PA.IX.G.S10:
Complete the appropriate checklist(s)
