Engine Failure - Final Approach

Question 1

What should be the IMMEDIATE REACTION to engine failure on the final approach?

Answer 1

Use foot to counter-act the direction the control column is turning, aiming to center it.

I.e to the right, use left rudder.

Question 2

VMC and IMC. Can we continue the approach or not?

Answer 2

VMC - can continue.

IMC - if above 1000ft, can continue.

IMC - if below 1000ft, mandatory go-around.

Question 3

What is the main consideration when deciding to keep or change flap setting?

Answer 3

Is there sufficient thrust or not?

Question 4

What is the main consideration with speed?

Answer 4

DO NOT ALLOW TO DETERIORIATE BELOW VREF.

Promptly increase thrust.

Question 5

What are the actions if sufficient thrust is available to continue with landing flaps?

Answer 5

Maintain current flap setting

Increase thrust on remaining engine

Maintain VFly / stabilised path

– IF GOING AROUND –

Use Flaps 15, retract above 1000ft AGL (unless specifically required for obstacles)

Question 6

What are the actions if sufficient thrust is not available to continue with landing flaps?

Answer 6

Retract Flaps to 15

Increase thrust on remaining engine, and command speed by 20kts.

– IF GOING AROUND –

Use flaps 1, retract above 1000ft, unless specifically required for obstacles.

Question 7

How much should speed be increased to on the MCP if there is insufficient thrust and we need to select F15?

Answer 7

Wind up the speed up by 20kts. (to white bug)

Question 8

What must be inhibited with a F15 landing?

Answer 8

Flap inhibit under ND.

Question 9

Do we carry out any checklists / memory items?

Answer 9

Memory items that are essential at discretion of PIC.

Question 10

What’s the two stage rudder application tip taught by Josh for an Engine Failure on Final Approach?

Answer 10

1) Add thrust immediately 75-80%. Stabilise simultaneously with rudder.
2) Go around, even more rudder. Remember there will be no trim in. Needs a lot!
