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

  emergency landing may be given with the airplane in any configuration. If the simulated power failure occurs while above best glide speed, the pilot allows the airplane to slow (or may even bleed off speed by climbing) until reaching best ... glide speed. When reaching that speed, the nose can be lowered and the airplane trimmed to maintain that speed. If the failure occurs at or below best glide speed, the nose should be lowered immediately to maintain or accelerate…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Airplane Takeoff and Climb › V-Speeds

  Airplane Takeoff and Climb The following information is generic in nature and, since most civilian jet airplanes require a minimum flight crew of two pilots, assumes a two-pilot crew. If any of the following information conflicts with FAA-approved ... procedures for a particular airplane, the AFM procedures take precedence. Also, if any of the following procedures differ from the FAA-approved procedures developed for use by a specific air operator and/or for use in an FAA-approved training center…

  Chapter 16: Transition to Jet-Powered Airplanes › Jet Engine Landing › Approach Speed

  There are strong relationships between trim, speed, and power in most jet airplanes, and it is important to stabilize the speed in order to minimize those other variables. ⦁ The optimum descent rate is dependent upon ground speed. A rule ... thumb is to multiply half of ground speed by 10. For example, a 130-knot ground speed should result in a (65 times 10) 650 feet per minute descent rate. Typical descent rates fall between 500 and 700 feet…

  Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Terms and Definitions

  General Multiengine and single-engine airplanes operate differently during an engine failure. In a multiengine airplane, loss of thrust from one engine affects both performance and control. The most obvious problem is the loss of 50 percent of power, which ... safe OEI flight. Terms and Definitions Pilots of single-engine airplanes are already familiar with many performance “V” speeds and their definitions. Twin-engine airplanes have several additional V-speeds unique to OEI operation. These speeds are differentiated…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Glides

  level-off altitude to begin raising the nose and adding power to stop the descent and maintain airspeed. Although glides are directly related to the practice of power-off accuracy landings, they have a specific operational purpose in normal landing ... execution, the pilot will be giving full attention to details other than the mechanics of performing the maneuver. Since glides are usually performed relatively close to the ground, accuracy of their execution and the formation of proper technique and habits…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Glides › Gliding Turns

  condition. A stall in this situation almost certainly results in a rapid and unrecoverable spin. Level-off from a glide is really two different maneuvers depending on the type of glide: ⦁ First, in the event of a complete power failure ... best glide speed should be held until necessary to reconfigure for the landing. The pilot should plan for a steeper approach than usual. A 10 percent lead (100 feet if the descent rate is 1,000 feet per minute) factor…
