AA.VII.FFAA-S-ACS-11A · Nov 2023
Precision Approach (Manually Flown) with a Powerplant Failure (Simulated) (AMEL, AMES)
To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with precision approach (manually flown) with a powerplant failure in a multiengine airplane. Note: See Appendix 2: Safety of Flight and Appendix 3: Aircraft, Equipment, and Operational Requirements & Limitations for information related to this Task.
Bottom line
A single-engine go-around on final approach may not be possible. As a practical matter in single-engine approaches, once the airplane is on final approach with landing gear and flaps extended, it is committed to land on the intended runway, on another runway, a taxiway, or grassy infield.
