Elements and Performance Criteria
ELEMENT |
PERFORMANCE CRITERIA |
1 Operate a multi-engine aeroplane in all phases of flight |
1.1 Normal operations of multi-engine aeroplane type on the ground and in flight are conducted in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures 1.2 Asymmetric operations for all phases of flight are anticipated and contingencies are planned 1.3 A plan of action is self-briefed or briefed to crew members that will ensure the safest outcome in the event of asymmetric operations |
2 Manage engine failure /malfunction in flight |
2.1 (In simulated conditions) Maintain and/or re-gain control of aeroplane 2.2 Failed/malfunctioning engine is identified and confirmed 2.3 Power set on serviceable engine/s and aeroplane configuration is adjusted to achieve desired aeroplane performance 2.4 Failed/malfunctioning engine is managed in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures 2.5 Indicated airspeed is maintained above VMCA 2.6 ATC or another agency capable of assistance are advised of situation and intentions 2.7 Recovery to aerodrome is evaluated and conducted in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures |
3 Manage engine failure /malfunction after take-off |
3.1 (In simulated conditions) Engine failure/malfunction is managed in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures after take-off while heading is maintained 3.2 Initial climb not less than best engine out angle of climb speed (VX ) or best engine out rate of climb speed (VY ) until clear of obstacles, then VY is maintained 3.3 Recovery to aerodrome is evaluated and conducted in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures |
4 Perform rejected take-off |
4.1 Take-off is aborted prior to V1 or at a point during the take-off where the abort procedure can be initiated and the aeroplane stopped on the remaining runway/stopway 4.2 Power is reduced smoothly and promptly 4.3 Spoilers, prop fine/reverse, thrust reverse, wheel brakes and other drag and braking devices are activated 4.4 Positive control is maintained to bring the aeroplane to a safe stop 4.5 Engine failure procedures and/or checklists are initiated and completed |
5 Manage engine failure /malfunction during approach /landing |
5.1 (In simulated conditions) Control of aeroplane is maintained 5.2 Engine inoperative approach is performed in accordance with the aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures 5.3 Decision is made to continue or abort approach/landing 5.4 Decision height for landing is nominated 5.5 ATS or other agencies capable of providing assistance are advised of situation and intentions 5.6 Flight profile is flown from which a controlled landing could be achieved |
6 Conduct go-around or missed approach with engine failure |
6.1 (In simulated conditions) Engine failure in a multi-engine aeroplane during a go-around or missed approach is identified and confirmed 6.2 Control of aeroplane is maintained 6.3 Engine inoperative go-around is performed from decision height in accordance with aeroplane Flight Manual, Pilot's Operating Handbook (POH) and company operating procedures |
