engine.
For the purpose of this exercise assume
rectification is not possible.
vi. Continue the circuit on one engine:
Maintain aeroplane in trim.
Maintain altitude power/thrust as required.
Complete pre-landing checks.
vii. If excess power is available to overcome
landing gear drag and maintain altitude, it will
normally be advisable to select landing gear
down during the pre-landing checks.
If marginal or insufficient power is available to
maintain altitude, leave the selection of
landing gear down during the pre-landing
checks.
If manual lowering of the landing gear is
required this should where-ever possible be
commenced prior to turning onto the base leg.
i. Nominate an “Asymmetric Committal Height”
(normally not below 300’ agl).
ii. Maintain airspeed at or above Vyse.
iii. Assess descent path distance to the runway
threshold in relation to the wind strength, and
if the situation permits, select the first stage of
flap. If the power/thrust available is marginal
leave the initial flap selection until later.
iv. Adjust power/thrust and/or flap as necessary to
commence the descent.
v. Adjust the rate of descent to ensure a
minimum height of 600’ agl. for the turn onto
the final approach. The wings must be level
by 400’ agl.
i. Maintain an approach speed (not below Vyse)
until reaching Asymmetric Committal Height.
ii. As Asymmetric Committal Height is
approached check the following:
a. At Asymmetric Committal Height, adjust
the approach path as necessary and
select flap compatible with the situation.
b. Ensure gear is down.
Note: Landing flap must not be used until it is
clearly established that the aeroplane will
safely reach the run way threshold.
iv. When below the Asymmetric Committal
Height the airspeed should be gradually
adjusted to arrive over the runway threshold
at the required landing speed.
Note: In turbulent weather conditions, use an
increased threshold speed if runway length
permits. Use gust factor and adjust landing
