  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Engine Failure During Flight

    Engine Failure During Flight Engine failures well above the ground are handled differently than those occurring at lower speeds and altitudes. Cruise airspeed allows better airplane control and altitude, which may permit time for a possible diagnosis and remedy ... failure. Maintaining airplane control, however, is still paramount. Airplanes have been lost at altitude due to apparent fixation on the engine problem to the detriment of flying the airplane. Not all engine failures or malfunctions are catastrophic in nature (catastrophic…

  • Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights › Common Errors

    should be tangent to both circular patterns. Common Errors Common errors in the performance of elementary eights are: 1. Failure to adequately clear the surrounding area for safety hazards, initially and throughout the maneuver. 2. Poor selection of ground references ... Failure to establish a constant, level altitude prior to entering the maneuver. 4. Failure to maintain adequate altitude control during the maneuver. 5. Failure to properly assess wind direction. 6. Failure to properly execute constant-radius turns. 7. Failure…

  • Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Turns Around a Point

    achieve this goal. The following are the most common errors in the performance of turns around a point: 1. Failure to adequately clear the surrounding area for safety hazards, initially and throughout the maneuver. 2. Failure to establish a constant ... level altitude prior to entering the maneuver. 3. Failure to maintain altitude during the maneuver. 4. Failure to properly assess wind direction. 5. Failure to properly execute constant-radius turns. 6. Failure to manipulate the flight controls in a smooth…

  • Chapter 7: Ground Reference Maneuvers › Elementary Eights

    following are the most common errors made while performing S-turns across a road: 1. Failure to adequately clear surrounding area for safety hazards, initially and throughout the maneuver. 2. Failure to establish a constant, level altitude prior to entering ... maneuver. 3. Failure to maintain altitude during the maneuver. 4. Failure to properly assess wind direction. 5. Failure to properly execute constant-radius turns. 6. Failure to manipulate the flight controls in a smooth and continuous manner when transitioning into…

  • Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Low Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios

    Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios In OEI flight at low altitudes and airspeeds such as the initial climb after takeoff, pilots should operate the airplane so as to guard against the three major accident factors: (1) loss of directional control ... directional control and performance. A takeoff or go-around is the most critical time to suffer an engine failure. The airplane will be slow, close to the ground, and may even have landing gear and flaps extended. Altitude and time…

  • 14 CFR Part 135, Appendix A to Part 135—Additional Airworthiness Standards for 10 or More Passenger Airplanes

    consistently accomplished. Restart information must be provided in the Airplane Flight Manual. 38. Engines. (a) For turbopropeller powered airplanes. The engine installation must comply with the following: (1) Engine isolation. The powerplants must be arranged and isolated from each…
