Question 30

Method 2 Analysis begins at

Answer 34

Cruise altitude

A safe landing can be made.

Question 37

When using method 1 and you have an engine failure below single engine service ceiling what should you do?

Answer 37

Climb at enroute speed with MCT. If able, return to departure airport via planned route. If unable to return to departure airport then determine nearest suitable airport.

While using Method 1, if selected diversion airport is takeoff alternate, how should you proceed to the takeoff alternate?

Answer 39

Proceed back along planned route of flight to the departure airport and then direct to takeoff alternate. If terrain clearance isn’t critical, a more direct route may be flown.

Proceed via planned route. If terrain clearance isn’t critical, a more direct route may be flown.

Using method 1 at or above single engine service ceiling, if terrain clearance or vectoring altitude is a concern choose which airports as diversion?

Answer 43

Departure, takeoff alternate (if applicable), or destination.

Question 44

After reaching level off altitude, as fuel is burned off, allow the aircraft to accelerate to

Answer 44

Engine inoperative cruise speed. Or if terrain clearance isn’t critical, descend to lower altitude to obtain single engine inoperative cruise speed sooner.

Answer 45

Climb at enroute climb speed with MCT
For diversion airport, either proceed to departure, takeoff alternate, or destination. Use planned route. If using takeoff alternate backtrack along planned route and then direct from departure airport unless terrain isn’t a factor. Climb or descend to single engine altitude and accelerate to Venr.
