Recent
activities: the prevention of airplane accidents after engine failure.
Why do accidents after engine
failure or while an engine is inoperative happen on big and small multi-engine
airplanes?
Because flight manuals, student pilot
textbooks and training manuals inappropriately use unchanged paragraphs out of Aviation Regulations
(Part 23 and 25) that are intended to be used for the design and certification of
airplanes and definitely not for their operational use.
This inappropriate use of Regulations results in deficient definitions and engine emergency
procedures for pilots and hence, in inappropriate crew response to propulsion
system malfunctions.
