  Chapter 9: Approaches and Landings › Emergency Approaches and Landings (Simulated)

  addition to flying the airplane from the point of simulated engine failure to where it is known that a reasonable safe landing could be made (or to where it is known that the approach cannot be salvaged), a pilot should ... these procedures should be developed to such an extent that, if an engine failure actually occurs, a pilot checks the critical items that might get the engine operating again while selecting a field and planning an approach. Combining…

  controllable pitch propellers, the propeller hub should be checked for oil leaks that tend to stream directionally from the propeller hub toward the tip. On airplanes so equipped, the alternator/generator drive belts should be checked for proper tension and signs ... wear. When inspecting inside the cowling, the pilot should check all surfaces for oil leaks or deterioration of oil and hydraulic lines, and make certain that the oil cap, filter, oil cooler, and drain plug are secure. The pilot should…

  nosewheel or tailwheel is in alignment with the longitudinal axis of the airplane. While performing the before-takeoff check in accordance with the airplane’s AFM/POH, the pilot divides attention between the inside and outside of the airplane ... pilot attention is fixed only inside the airplane. A good operational practice is to split attention from one item inside to a look outside. Air-cooled engines generally are tightly cowled and equipped with baffles that direct the flow…

Note the time and maintain the heading ... bearing change is flown. If the elapsed time for the bearing change is noted Time-Distance Check Example in seconds and a 10° bearing change is made, the time from the station, in minutes, is determined by counting…

Few pilots have ever had to make an “emergency takeoff.” While the point of the 5P check is to help the pilot fly, the correct application of the 5 P before takeoff is to assist in making ... reasoned go/no-go decision based on all the information available. That decision will usually be to “go,” with certain restrictions and changes, but may also be a “no-go.” The key idea is that these two points in the process…
