CA.IX.GFAA-S-ACS-7B · Nov 2023
Approach and Landing with an Inoperative Engine (Simulated)(AMEL, AMES)
To determine the applicant exhibits satisfactory knowledge, risk management, and skills associated with approach and landing with an engine inoperative, including engine failure on final approach. Note: See Appendix 2: Safety of Flight and Appendix 3: Aircraft, Equipment, and Operational Requirements & Limitations for information related to this Task.
Bottom line
The OEI approach and landing should be flown as close as possible to a normal approach and landing in terms of key positions, altitudes, and airspeeds. The procedure to identify the failed engine is a two-step process.
