  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…

  Appendix B: Developing a Test Item Bank › Written Test Items › Supply Type

  Appendix B: Developing a Test Item Bank Developing a bank of test questions is difficult and time consuming. This task demands a mastery of the subject, an ability to write clearly, and an ability to visualize realistic situations ... developing problems. Because it is so difficult to develop good test items, many instructors rely on commercially-prepared test materials. However, there are a few instructors who write their own questions and maintain them in a database or a system…

  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…
