General Flying I

Aim: To learn the general flying characteristics of the multi engine

aircraft

Airmanship - Lookout - Ts & Ps - Autopilot (if available the student must

be able to use)

Taxying - Practice
Props - clearance
Differential Power & Brake, avoid tearing tyre off its rim
Heavier aircraft
Slowly
Seat position - ensure full rudder movement is available
Position for power checks
Prop wash
Will brakes hold - aircraft moving forward
Occasionally brakes against power to be avoided but sometimes required because better to wear out
brakes than engines
General Flying II

Aim: to learn the characteristics of the aircraft in stall, and to practice

steep turns

Airmanship - Lookout - Ts & Ps - HASELL

Stall
Reduce power and hence airspeed to show sysm[toms of slow flight. Speed not below Vsse
Stall and recover with or without power do not hold the aircraft in the stall. SSR beware of opening the throttles too
quickly

Stall with power on

Stall with flaps extended

Stall in approach configuration

Note: Mixture rich, propeller fully fine, power increased smoothly to full throttle

Steep Turns
To practice level turns in each direction using 45 and 60 degrees angle of bank
Asymetric I

Aim: To learn to recognise and identify and control an engine failure

Airmanship: Lookout - Height - Ts and Ps

Feather and Unfeathering Drill - Demo

Engine Failure Demo

Simulated by closing one throttle
Note yaw and roll, and descent

Recovery Option1 - Demo

Close other throttle to stop yaw

Recovery Option2 - Demo

Use Rudder to stop yaw

Engine Failure Demo

Maintain straight and level by rudder and selecting higher nose attitude Note Speed
Identify by Dead Leg Dead Engine

Engine Failure in Turn

Inside Engine - Demo

The aircraft wants to develop a rapid roll rate and enter a spiral descent.

Outside Engine - Demo

The aircraft roll rate is slower but again a spiral descent develops

Effect of Speed - Demo

From normal cruise simulate engine failure and pitch up nose to reduce speed and note
increase rudder input to keep aircraft straight.

Effect of Power -Demo

From normal cruise simulate engine failure and maintain speed but reduce power disregard
altitude. Notice increased amount of rudder needed to keep aircraft straight.

Zero Thrust - Demo

To determine zero thrust, from normal cruise:
- feather one engine
- use rudder trim, note speed
- restart engine and find manifold which gives the same speed = 10 approx
Asymmetric II

Aim: To learn the significance of Critical Speed, EFATO Drill &

Unfeathering drill
