  • Chapter 5: Maintaining Aircraft Control: Upset Prevention and Recovery Training › Stalls › Full Stalls, Power-Off

    straight-ahead power-off stall, airplanes equipped with flaps or retractable landing gear should be in the landing configuration. After extending the landing gear, applying carburetor heat (if applicable), and retarding the throttle sufficiently, the pilot holds the airplane…

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

    retarding the throttle and calling “simulated emergency landing.” The objective of these simulated emergency landings is to develop a pilot’s accuracy, judgment, planning, procedures, and confidence when little or no power is available. A simulated emergency landing ... 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…

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

    configure the airplane for climb. [Figure 13-21] The specific procedures to follow are found in the AFM/POH and checklist for the particular airplane. Most direct the pilot to assume VYSE, set takeoff power, retract the flaps and landing gear ... identify, verify, and feather the failed engine. (On some airplanes, the landing gear is to be retracted before the flaps.) The “identify” step is for the pilot to initially identify the failed engine. Confirmation on the engine gauges…
