Power-Off 180° Accuracy Approach and Landing (ASEL, ASES)
To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with power-off 180° accuracy approach and landing. Note: See Appendix 3: Aircraft, Equipment, and Operational Requirements & Limitations for information related to this Task.
Bottom line
Although glides are directly related to the practice of power-off accuracy landings, they have a specific operational purpose in normal landing approaches, and forced landings after engine failure. Since glides are usually performed relatively close to the ground, accuracy of their execution and the formation of proper technique and habits are of special importance.
