engine, however, selecting idle reverse produces very little reverse thrust. In a jet airplane, the pilot should select reverse, apply reverse thrust as appropriate, and remain within any AFM limitations. It is essential that pilots understand not only the normal ... throttle settings also may affect acceleration. Finally, the clean aerodynamic design of a jet can result in more gradual deceleration when thrust is reduced. The lack of propeller effects results in less drag at low power settings. Other changes…

remainder of the maneuver, the trim setting remains unaltered. The pilot selects an entry heading and sets high rpm on both propeller controls. Power on the left engine is throttled back to idle as the right engine power is advanced…

power-off situation, the pilot should set sufficient power to provide the performance that would be expected with the propeller feathered. Uniform approach patterns, such as the 90° or 180° power-off approaches, are described further in this chapter. Practicing ... approach, to reach the desired aiming point at an appropriate speed, and to touch down where planned. Note that selection of the runway numbers as the touchdown point does not provide a safety cushion in case of a mechanical problem…

power setting; however, the standard used to judge the maneuver is not the amount of altitude gained, but rather the pilot’s proficiency as it pertains to maximizing climb performance for the power and bank selected, as well ... second 90° as constant pitch and continuously decreasing bank. During the first 90°, the pilot will set the bank angle, increase power, and increase pitch attitude at a rate such that maximum pitch-up occurs at the completion…

determination of VMC in certification is solely concerned with the minimum speed for directional control under a very specific set of circumstances, and not the optimum airplane attitude or configuration for climb performance. During dynamic VMC determination in aircraft certification ... regain the initial speed. Transitioning pilots should understand that attempting to demonstrate VMC with an engine cut from high power, or intentionally failing an engine at speeds less than VSSE creates a high likelihood for loss of control…
