Emergency Approach & Landing (Simulated)
1. Reduce power to idle.
2. Pitch for and then trim to maintain best glide speed (68 KIAS)
3. Select an appropriate emergency landing site.
4. Begin flying directly towards landing site.
5. Complete Engine Failure During Flight / Restart Procedures checklist.
6. Evaluate glide performance to confirm landing site can be reached.
7. Upon reaching landing site, spiral
downwards at best glide.
8. Evaluate wind direction to
determine best direction of
approach.
9. Roll out of spiral heading
downwind, abeam “midfield,” at
approximately 1,500’ AGL.
10. Pass abeam intended touchdown
point at approximately 1,000’ AGL.
Power-Off 180°
Gliding Descent
Downward Spiral
11. Execute Power-Off 180° Accuracy Approach and Landing procedure as
previously described.
12. Simulate the “On Final Approach” items on the Emergency Landing No
Engine Power checklist.
13. If landing site is not an airport, or does not meet ATP runway
requirements, add power and break off the approach no lower than
500’ AGL.
TIP: Keep the engine warm and cleared by occasionally
advancing the throttle. If the simulated emergency approach
will be taken to a landing on a runway, ensure that either the
instructor or the student has complete control of the throttle
during the landing, should a go-around become necessary.
