Private Pilot - Engine Failure After Liftoff (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES) Airman Certification Standards:
- Objective: To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with engine failure after liftoff
- 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
Engine Failure After Liftoff (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES) Knowledge:
The applicant demonstrates understanding of:-
PA.IX.F.K1:
Factors affecting minimum controllable speed VMC -
PA.IX.F.K2:
VMC (red line), VYSE (blue line), and safe single-engine speed (VSSE) -
PA.IX.F.K3:
Accelerate/stop and accelerate/go distances -
PA.IX.F.K4:
How to identify, verify, feather, and secure an inoperative engine -
PA.IX.F.K5:
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.F.K6:
Simulated propeller feathering and the evaluator’s zero-thrust procedures and responsibilities
Engine Failure After Liftoff (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES) Risk Management:
The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:-
PA.IX.F.R1:
Potential engine failure after lift-off -
PA.IX.F.R2:
Collision hazards -
PA.IX.F.R3:
Configuring the airplane -
PA.IX.F.R4:
Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT) -
PA.IX.F.R5:
Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation
Engine Failure After Liftoff (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES) Skills:
The applicant exhibits the skill to:-
PA.IX.F.S1:
Promptly recognize an engine failure, maintain control, and use appropriate emergency procedures -
PA.IX.F.S2:
Establish VYSE; if obstructions are present, establish best single-engine angle of climb speed (VXSE) or VMC +5 knots, whichever is greater, until obstructions are cleared. Then transition to VYSE -
PA.IX.F.S3:
Reduce drag by retracting landing gear and flaps in accordance with the manufacturer’s guidance -
PA.IX.F.S4:
Simulate feathering the propeller on the inoperative engine (evaluator should then establish zero thrust on the inoperative engine) -
PA.IX.F.S5:
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.F.S6:
Monitor the operating engine and aircraft systems and make adjustments as necessary -
PA.IX.F.S7:
Recognize the airplane’s performance capabilities. If a climb is not possible at VYSE, maintain VYSE and return to the departure airport for landing, or initiate an approach to the most suitable landing area available -
PA.IX.F.S8:
Simulate securing the inoperative engine -
PA.IX.F.S9:
Maintain heading ±10° and airspeed ±5 knots -
PA.IX.F.S10:
Complete the appropriate checklist(s)
