2 critical elements for operating safely while OEI - ANS Airspeed and directional control
Airspeed is king
2 methods to identify inop engine - ANS Check for dead rudder (No resistance on rudder)
Check for lower EGT
Verify- Increase & decrease throttles and check for yawing
Aborted take off emergency briefing - ANS 1. Engine failure below Vr, we will abort the
takeoff and stop on runway
2. Engine failure above Vr (insert condition (with gear down)), we will abort and (insert follow-up
action (land straight ahead))
3. Engine failure above Vr (insert condition (with gears in transition or up)) we will continue and
(insert follow-up action (and make left traffic pattern and land on 35L))
4. Engine failure above ____FT MSL we will consider it an in-flight engine failure and take
appropriate actions
Absolute ceiling - ANS Max altitude where the aircraft can maintain a 0 FPM climb
Accelerate Go distance - ANS Distance from Start of ground roll, reach V1 or Vlof, climb to
50 ft AGL
Accelerate stop distance - ANS Start of your ground roll (horizontal distance) until you hit
Vr or V1 and you will still have time to stop
Basic empty weight: - ANS SEW+ full operating fluid + optional equipment
Blue radial line - ANS Vyse
semi is 88kts
Burn limited takeoff weight (BLTW) - ANS TO weight limited by maximum landing weight
Climbing while OEI - ANS Pitch for Vyse or Vxse
You may be unable to climb
Increasing power= increase rudder & aileron inputs
Conventional twins (both props rotate clockwise as seen from cockpit) - ANS left engine is
critical engine
, Counter rotating twins - ANS no critical engine
Either engine you lose has the same effect- there is no better/worse engine to lose in counter
rotating twins
Critical engine - ANS engine whose failure would Most adversely affect the performance or
handling qualities of an aircraft
critical engine (PAST) - ANS P-factor: left engine failure causes a greater yawing tendency
Accelerated slipstream: left engine failure causes a greater rolling tendency
Spiraling slipstream: left engine failure reduces airflow over rudder causing OEI induced yaw to
increase
Torque: left engine failure causes greater rolling tendency
Descending while OEI - ANS Lower pitch attitude and descend at safe airspeed
Be kind to your engine (probably reduce throttle)
Decreasing power= decrease rudder & aileron inputs
Drift down: - ANS if flying above SE absolute ceiling, maintain Vyse and descend- this is
called drift down
During emergency - ANS pilot can take action to whatever point is necessary to meet the
needs of emergency
Emergency landings (4 types)
Crashing - ANS Is a crash is inevitable, protect the cabin as best as you can
Utilize wings, gears, flaps ect to absorb as much impact as possible
Emergency landings (4 types)
Ditching - ANS A forced landing on water
Some aircraft will have specific checklists for ditching
Emergency landings (4 types)
Forced landing - ANS Further flight is not possible and an immediate landing takes place
This can happen both on or off airport
Emergency landings (4 types)
Precautionary landing - ANS Further flight may be possible but PIC can choose to
discontinue
This can happen both on or off airport
Factors affecting Vmc
flaps extended - ANS Vmc: decrease
Rudder: increase bc drag aft of CG increase directional stability which reduces OEI induced yaw
Climb: decreases
