Airline Transport Pilot and Type Rating for Airplane Category › VII. Emergency Operations › Task F. Precision Approach (Manually Flown) with a Powerplant Failure (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES)

AA.VII.F.S15

Skill

Upon reaching the DA/DH, immediately initiate the missed approach procedures if the required visual references for the runway are not distinctly visible and identifiable (or if in a seaplane); or transition to a normal landing approach only when the aircraft is in a position from which a descent to a landing on the runway can be made at a normal rate of descent using normal maneuvering.
