Flight Instructors Training Procedures _revised AIC_x

3. DESCRIPTION OF AIR EXERCISE
a. APPLICABLE PROCEDURES AND CHECKLISTS
b. AIRCRAFT HANDLING TECHNIQUES
DEMONSTRATION OBSERVATION
1. FORCED LANDING WITHOUT POWER
Select a suitable field and from straight and
level flight at minimum 3000 ft agl, close the
throttle, thereby simulating engine failure.

SPEED
FIELD SELECTION
Selection of suitable forced landing area e.g.:
a. Airfield.
b. Obstruction free road.
c. Cultivated land.
d. Suitable open terrain.
)*
i. Look out.
ii. Assess surface wind situation.
i. Convert speed into height, or maintain
altitude.
ii. Attain best glide speed.
iii. Throttle closed.
iv. Carb. heat – full ON (if applicable).
v. Trim aircraft.
vi. Change to another fuel tank with fuel in it.
Fuel pump ON.
LOOK OUT
i. Select suitable force landing area according
to prevailing conditions and circumstances,
considering:
a. Size and shape of area.
b. Surface condition.
c. Surface wind strength and direction.
d. Approximate elevation of field.
e. Obstacles in overshoot and
undershoot areas.
ii. ONCE FIELD HAS BEEN SELECTED DO
NOT CHANGE YOUR MIND.
PLANNING DESCENT i. Turn towards selected field:
a. Plan descent according to altitude
available, aiming to achieve normal
glide approach base leg position, i.e.
“Key point” 1000 ft agl. on base leg,
from where a normal glide approach
and landing is usually made.
ii. DO NOT LOOSE SIGHT OF FIELD
iii. Descent should be a gently curved circuit,
using turns in the circuit to regulate position
for loss of height, but ensuring aircraft
slightly high when turning on final
approach.
iv. PRACTICE FORCED LANDING
a. Warm up engine every 500 or 1000 ft
loss of attitude.
b. Monitor engine temps/pressures.
