Maneuvering with One Engine Inoperative

The applicant demonstrates understanding of:

• PA.X.A.K1Factors affecting minimum controllable speed (VMC).
• PA.X.A.K2VMC (red line) and best single-engine rate of climb airspeed (VYSE) (blue line).
• PA.X.A.K3How to identify, verify, feather, and secure an inoperative engine.
• PA.X.A.K4Importance of drag reduction, including propeller feathering, gear and flap retraction, the manufacturer's recommended control input and its relation to zero sideslip.
• PA.X.A.K5Feathering, securing, unfeathering, and restarting.

The applicant is able to identify, assess, and mitigate risk associated with:

• PA.X.A.R1Potential engine failure during flight.
• PA.X.A.R2Collision hazards.
• PA.X.A.R3Configuring the airplane.
• PA.X.A.R4Low altitude maneuvering, including stall, spin, or controlled flight into terrain (CFIT).
• PA.X.A.R5Distractions, task prioritization, loss of situational awareness, or disorientation.

The applicant exhibits the skill to:

• PA.X.A.S1Recognize an engine failure, maintain control, use manufacturer’s memory item procedures, and use appropriate emergency procedures.
• PA.X.A.S2Set the engine controls, identify and verify the inoperative engine, and feather the appropriate propeller.
• PA.X.A.S3Use flight controls in the proper combination as recommended by the manufacturer, or as required to maintain best performance, and trim as required.
• PA.X.A.S4Attempt to determine and resolve the reason for the engine failure.
• PA.X.A.S5Secure the inoperative engine and monitor the operating engine and make necessary adjustments.
• PA.X.A.S6Restart the inoperative engine using manufacturer’s restart procedures.
• PA.X.A.S7Maintain altitude ±100 feet or minimum sink rate if applicable, airspeed ±10 knots, and selected headings ±10°.
• PA.X.A.S8Complete the appropriate checklist(s).
