identify and mitigate any potential hazards prior to flight to prevent, to the furthest extent possible, a hazard becoming a realized risk. The engine and propeller make up the propulsion system of the airplane—failure of this critical system requires…
- Chapter 13: Transition to Multiengine Airplanes › Low Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios
Altitude Engine Failure Scenarios In OEI flight at low altitudes and airspeeds such as the initial climb after takeoff, pilots should operate the airplane so as to guard against the three major accident factors: (1) loss of directional control ... potential to be lethal. Loss of flying speed is not a factor, however, when the airplane is operated with due regard for directional control and performance. A takeoff or go-around is the most critical time to suffer an engine…

pilot makes an assessment of that hazard based upon various factors. The pilot assigns a value to the potential impact of the hazard, which qualifies the pilot’s assessment of the hazard—risk. Therefore, risk is an assessment ... debris into the propeller. The nick is the hazard (a present condition). The risk is prop fracture if the engine is operated with damage to a prop blade. The seasoned pilot may see the nick as a low risk…

filed an IFR flight plan that can be activated, if needed. Crossing large bodies of water at night in single-engine airplanes could be potentially hazardous, because in the event of an engine failure, the pilot may be forced…

airplane to the appropriate takeoff pitch attitude. Rejected Takeoff Every takeoff could potentially result in a rejected takeoff (RTO) for a variety of reasons: engine failure, fire or smoke, unsuspected equipment on the runway, bird strike, blown tires, direct instructions ... significant abnormality (split-airspeed indications, activation of a warning horn, etc.). Ill-advised rejected takeoff decisions by flight crews and improper pilot technique during the execution of a rejected takeoff contribute to a majority of takeoff-related commercial aviation accidents…

occurred creating a potentially hazardous situation: ⦁ Shut down the engine in accordance with the recommended engine failure procedures, unless a greater emergency exists that warrants continued engine operation. ⦁ If continuing to operate the engine, use the lowest power setting demanded ... either hydraulically or electrically or may employ a combination of the two systems. Warning indicators are provided in the flight deck to show the pilot when the wheels are down and locked and when they are up and locked…
