ASSESSMENT CRITERIA

Task: Engine failure techniques

Objective:

To determine that the candidate; 

(a) Maintains control of the aircraft at all times (critical element).

(b) Executes an appropriate emergency procedure when the take-off is abandoned or an engine is failed after take-off.

(d) Initiates the go around procedure correctly when prompted by the examiner.

Action:

The examiner/instructor will; 

(a) Simulate emergencies without risk to aircraft or crew.

(b) Ensure that ATS is aware of the simulated emergency.

(c) Early in the take-off roll, either simulate an event that would require the take-off to be abandoned (low oil pressure), or simulate engine failure by moving the mixture control to ICO; and/or

(d) Simulate an engine failure after take-off by partially retarding the throttle and;

(e) Place emphasis on the candidate’s control of the aircraft.

(f) Observe the candidate’s subsequent actions and determine that they meet the objectives.
