Multi Engine 3 Flashcards
Why Altitude gain is more important than the airspeed?
Excessive speed cannot be efficiently traded for altitude in the event of an engine failure.
Why Vy is important during the climb?
Anyspeed below Vy will reduce the performance.
How to Identification of the Failed Engine?
“Dead foot, dead engine.”
Can we use the gauges to identify the dead engine?
Think about Fuel Pressure, Manifold Pressure, Tachometer, CHT
Fuel Pressure: If a fuel pump is on, fuel pressure may indicate normally on the failed engine.
Manifold Pressure: When the throttle is moved, manifold pressure changes could be mistakenly interpreted as the engine operating normally.
Tachometer: Before the propeller is feathered, the tachometer will indicate the RPM at which the propeller is windmilling.
Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT): The CHT does not instantaneously change following an engine failure.
What is the area of decision?
engine failure shortly after takeoff
a decision must be made to continue flight or land
Engine Failure on the runway and Landing Gear Not Selected Up
Landing gear lever has not been moved into the up position
the pilot should abort the takeoff
Landing Gear Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Inadequate, what is next?
a landing must be accomplished on whatever lies ahead.
Land under positive control.
Landing Gear Selected Up, Single-Engine Climb Performance Adequate, What is next?
Directional Control
Airspeed
Climb
Configuration
landing Gear up engine failed, discuss about directional control?
The rudder and aileron should be used, aggressively if necessary, to counteract the yaw and rolling tendencies.
At least a 5° of bank should initially be established into the operating engine to help maintain directional control.
Importance of two red malfunction buttons appears on the face of the vacuum gauge
vacuum is not available from that side
