  emergency descents should be avoided to prevent excessive cooling of the engine cylinders. In-Flight Fire A fire in-flight demands immediate and decisive action. The pilot should be familiar with the procedures outlined to meet this emergency contained ... AFM/POH for the particular airplane. For the purposes of this handbook, in-flight fires are classified as in-flight engine fires, electrical fires, and cabin fires. Engine Fire An in-flight engine compartment fire is usually caused by a failure…

  radio call announcing descent intentions may be appropriate to alert other aircraft in the area. When initiating the descent, a bank of approximately 30 to 45° should be established to maintain positive load factors (G forces) on the airplane. Emergency ... descent training should be performed as recommended by the manufacturer, including the configuration and airspeeds. Except when prohibited by the manufacturer, the power should be reduced to idle, and the propeller control (if equipped) should be placed…

  Chapter 3: Basic Flight Maneuvers › Descents and Descending Turns

  Descents and Descending Turns When an airplane enters a descent, its attitude changes from level flight to flight with a descent profile. [Figure 3-22] In a descent, weight no longer acts solely perpendicular to the flightpath. Since induced drag ... power reduction is required to balance the forces if airspeed is to be maintained. Figure 3-22. Descent indications. The pilot should know the engine power settings, natural horizon pitch attitudes, and flight instrument indications that produce the following types…

  Some characteristics of the minimum safe airspeed descent are a steeper-than-normal descent angle, and the excessive power that may be required to produce acceleration at low airspeed should “mushing” and/or an excessive rate of descent be allowed ... develop. ⦁ Emergency descent—some airplanes have a specific procedure for rapidly losing altitude. The AFM/POH specifies the procedure. In general, emergency descent procedures are high drag, high airspeed procedures requiring a specific airplane configuration (such as power to idle, propellers…

  minute The exponential increase in parasite drag at higher speeds has a significant impact on both the rate of descent and the descent angle. Using the sample numbers, a 20% increase in airspeed from 210 to 250 knots, results ... increase in the descent rate. However, a 20% increase in airspeed from 250 to 300 knots results in a 100% increase in the descent rate. Therefore, when at a higher altitude than desired in a descent, lowering the nose…

  FLAMEOUT- An emergency condition caused by a loss of engine power. FLAMEOUT PATTERN- An approach normally conducted by a single-engine military aircraft experiencing loss or anticipating loss of engine power or control. The standard overhead approach starts ... descent to the runway. Flameout approaches terminate in the type approach requested by the pilot (normally fullstop). FLIGHT CHECK- A call sign prefix used by FAA aircraft engaged in flight inspection/certification of navigational aids and flight procedures. The word “recorded…
