4.20 Emergency Procedures Practice
The emergency procedures are discussed in Section 3. of the Aircraft
Operating Instructions (Airplane Flight Manual). The following procedures
may be used for practicing engine failures in particular phases of flight.
4.20.1 Engine Failure Practice
Engine failure in any flight phase is simulated by pulling the throttle lever to
idle.
Never shut down the engine to practise engine failures!
For training
purposes select a landing area that is long enough that you can simulate
the threshold at about 1/3 of the way from the real threshold. If you do this
and make a mistake that would make you land short you can always
continue to touchdown to get the maximum training value.
Ensure aerodrome traffic and/or the Air Traffic Controller are aware of your
intentions to practice engine failure procedures. Pull the throttle lever to
idle at the chosen phase of the takeoff (run, acceleration, transition to
climb, climb) to simulate engine failure.
WARNING!
If a failure of the engine was a no-duff emergency that was not caused by a
closed fuel selector or zero fuel, then do not continue the flight even if your
attempt to restart the engine was successful. Land at the nearest airport,
and, check the powerplant and fuel system to find the reason for the engine
failure and remedy it prior to next flight
.
