4.20.2.5 Engine Failure During Climb
If the engine fails during climb phase of takeoff, prior to first turn, then a
further pilot technique depends on height at which this happened. During
training, try to simulate engine failure both near the ground and at higher
altitude. The emergency procedures to be used in these cases have been
already discussed in the chapter 4.20.2.1.
The basic rule is always to immediately push the control stick forward to
reach higher airspeed and go into descent and not into a stall and then, if
there is enough time, you can adjust angle of descent by extending wing
flaps. Keep in mind as already mentioned, that the Sportstar is light aircraft
having low inertia thus loses airspeed very fast. Therefore immediate
movement of control stick forward after engine failure is needed to avoid
stall.
