2. This exercise altered my thinking about power failures on takeoff or approach - First, pull back the prop, establish best glide speed .........etc.<
The engine out procedure for a 320/360 should be:
Fly the Aircraft (Don't stall like 8+ Lancair guys did since 2000 - all
fatal)
Do not hurry
Read the checklist
1. Establish the best glide
TRIM to IAS = 100 to 110 knots depending upon weight or better yet
AOA = L/Dmax
Prop to Coarse Pitch
Gear and Flaps up unless landing immediately
2. Find a place to Land
Turn downwind while searching to get more distance over the ground
3. Trouble shoot the problem time permitting
Carb heat on if not injected engine
Fuel Selector/Transfer pumps on etc.
Mags to L then R
Mixture slowly towards idle cutoff (maybe a clogged injector
causing mixture too rich)
Any other tricks you might have specific to your aircraft
4. Brief the Passenger and plan escape after landing
5. With the field Assured
Flaps down and gear down depending upon surface
Shoot for the middle third of the landing area selected
Don't try to stretch the glide (slowing to below L/D max only gives
you a brief high
followed by a increased descending flight path angle and less
energy to flare)
Land at a shallow angle on a flat surface
6. Exit the Aircraft
The peressurized IV guys need to start the above procedure with a rapid
descent to a breathable altitude.
