During actual aircraft flight training, the engine failure after takeoff will be induced by the
instructor slowly bringing one throttle to idle. This will occur at an altitude not lower than
500’ AGL and airspeed not less than Vyse.
Airspeed discipline is the primary focus and objective. Always be mindful of V
YSE
and
not permit an unintentional sped variation significantly below or above that speed. V
YSE
provides the best rate of climb (or minimum rate of descent) in the event of an actual
engine failure. If climb performance is not possible at V
YSE
(which will be briefed prior to
the maneuver), demonstrate the performance then discontinue the simulation.
Before simulating an engine failure after takeoff, give careful thought to all factors that
may affect a safe outcome (e.g., terrain, density altitude, landing options, traffic etc.).
