Hey all,
Just wanted to throw a couple questions out there and would appreciate your feedback. Ok let's say you're on a left downwind in a multi-engine airplane and you lost the left engine. Given the current conditions you decided that you can make the field, are you allowed to make a left turn and continue on to base or would banking towards the inoperative engine create more problems for you?
Also on a single engine ILS, is there a special technique you use when lowering the gear and flaps? I know you won't want to have a lot of drag out there since you might not be able to mantain VYSE incase of a go-around. When do you use flaps? Do you use all three notches when established on the glideslope or do you use only two? I know it's probably all dependent on the current conditions but i'm looking for a genereal idea.
Anyways, thanks much.
