SmartPilot | Emergency Operations - Engine Failure After Takeoff
An engine failure after takeoff is a
serious problem requiring quick action.
The aircraft is low and slow –
an ugly combination leaving little
time to select a suitable landing
site.
In climb, the nose of the aircraft is
quite high – 7-10 degrees nose-up.
The attitude providing best glide
speed is generally several degrees
nose down. When an engine fails
you must rapidly push the nose
down to the attitude that provides
the best glide airspeed. Inside the
cockpit this will feel like a very large
change – It will be a big push from
the climb out attitude, to the bestglide
attitude.
If you don’t immediately lower the
nose, your airspeed will rapidly deteriorate,
the angle of attack will increase,
and with the added drag
the aircraft will begin to descend at
an increasing rate.
If you continue to hold the nose up
without power, the critical angle of
attack can quickly be exceeded,
and the aircraft will stall.
