Multi IFR Flashcards
Why Instrument approaches in a twin can be difficult during one engine out?
Reduced Climb Performance
Difficulty Maintaining Heading/Directional Control (due to asymmetric thrust)
What is the The main key in handling single engine instrument approaches
is workload management.
Do as much you can in advance
An airport with an ILS approach is ideal
Weather above minimums
The reason to pick a precision approach
Lower Minimums
Glideslope allows for a more stable approach with less power changes and aids in directional control.
What is the problem of selecting non precision approach?
A non-precision approach would involve large power changes can
What is the problem of going around?
most light twins cannot meet the IFR climb gradient
Why to avoid a strong crosswind in a single engine approach?
directional control due to the yawing motion imposed by the good engine and yaw imposed by the crosswind may result in a loss of rudder authority.
How ATC can help you for an approach in single engine?
Things that ATC can do… • Current Weather Information • Recommendation • Alert chosen airport • Radar vectors • Monitor approach (in case of course deviation)
If a circle to land is needed make sure to plan for the following…
- Preplan the maneuver (which way to circle and how to enter the pattern)
- Plan final descent point and lower the gear
- Request delay vectors or hold to properly to set up for the approach.
Problem of hydraulic pump was in the failed engine, and extending gears
dropping the gear manually is a time-consuming process and not advised near final approach
When do you extend the flaps?
will be done only when landing is assure
There is altitude performance issues after deploying the gear or flaps,
raise them immediately
What do u need to keep in mind when ,managing your speed during approach?
Keep your descent rate low enough to stop the descent if required, and your final approach speed at not less than Vyse.
Can u easily go around with single engine?
a risky proposition.
If a go around is considered, start it early and at a high altitude.
Use higher minimums if required to aid in this decision.
when landing flaps are extended, you are committed to landing.
