Practice challenging and realistic engine failure scenarios in real time.
You practiced engine failure procedures all the time in training, but they were probably filled with lots of "I would do this next" or "I would land in that field."
Replace those "woulds" with action in the simulator and bring each scenario to a full conclusion on the ground. You might be surprised by what you weren't expecting.
A one hour session with an experienced CFI.
Four challenging and realistic scenarios designed to emphasize the essential skills required to safely resolve an engine failure.
Scenario 1
-
Enroute Engine Failure
-
Glide distance calculations
Scenario 2
-
Enroute Engine Failure
-
Glide distance calculations
Scenario 3
-
Low altitude engine failure
-
High/Low energy comparison
Scenario 4
-
Engine failures on departure
-
The impossible turn
-
You'll be confident in your ability to deal with an engine failure in any phase of flight, and have a heightened sense of awareness of how your energy state, atmospheric conditions, and your aircraft's systems contribute to your ability to safely land the plane.
