Flight training in a multiengine airplane can be safely accomplished if both the instructor and the learner consider the following factors. The participants should conduct a preflight briefing of the…
The approach and landing with OEI is essentially the same as a two-engine approach and landing. The traffic pattern should be flown at similar altitudes, airspeeds, and key positions as…
This section is devoted to the factors associated with the operation of small multiengine airplanes. For the purpose of this section, a “small” multiengine airplane is a reciprocating or turbopropeller-powered…
Slow Flight There is nothing unusual about maneuvering during slow flight in a multiengine airplane. Slow flight may be conducted in straightand-level flight, turns, climbs, or descents. It can also…
There are two main considerations for OEI operations—performance and control. Multiengine pilots learn to operate the airplane for maximum rate of climb performance at the blue radial indicated airspeed by…
Low 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…
Go-Around When the decision to go around is made, the throttles should be advanced to takeoff power. With adequate airspeed, the airplane should be placed in a climb pitch attitude.…
Short-Field Takeoff and Climb The short-field takeoff and climb differs from the normal takeoff and climb in the airspeeds and initial climb profile. Some AFM/POHs give separate short-field takeoff procedures…
The multiengine airplane is often easier to land in a crosswind than a single-engine airplane due to its higher approach and landing speed. In any event, the principles are no…
Given the higher cruising speed (and frequently altitude) of multiengine airplanes over most single-engine airplanes, the descent needs to be planned in advance. A hurried, last minute descent with power…
