Potential engine failure during approach and landing.

ACS element text (the applicant demonstrates understanding of)

Potential engine failure during approach and landing.

Bottom line

OEI flight with the ball centered and the remaining engine providing any appreciable power is never correct due to the sideslip generated. Engine Inoperative Approach and Landing 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 approach and landing may be conducted with no more than partial flaps, or full flaps may be selected when on short final with the landing absolutely assured.
