Procedures. When informed that there has been a simulated power loss, carry out the

following procedures:

Flying speed - MAINTAIN (100 KIAS minimum). If fast, smoothly raise the nose

to trade excess airspeed for altitude. If you are at 100 KIAS or below, expeditiously

lower the nose to maintain 100 KIAS.

Landing gear and flaps - UP. Clean up aircraft by raising the gear and flaps, if

necessary, and report "aircraft clean" to your instructor.

Engine instruments - CHECK. Report actual N1 to your instructor. The instructor

will reply with a simulated condition of:

N1 at 0% - indicating a "frozen engine."

ii.

N1 approximately 12% - indicating a "flameout."

N1 approximately 40% - indicating a "rollback."

iii.

NOTE

N1 and ITT are the instruments that will enable you to analyze the

problem most quickly. Check the torquemeter. If indications are

indicative of a rollback, execute the rollback procedure IAW the T-

34C NATOPS.

Simulate condition lever - FEATHER. The instructor will simulate feather by

advancing the power to 205 ftlbs. torque to simulate actual aircraft performance

with a dead engine and a feathered propeller.

Landing Site - SELECT. LOOK for the best available field and report your

intended landing site to your instructor.

Harness - LOCKED. Check and report harness locked.

NOTE

Deciding where to enter the ELP is a function of aircraft position and

altitude. If the situation allows, enter as closely as possible to high

key. However, you may have to enter at low key, the 90 or even as

late as final. With an actual power loss at very low altitude, you may

have no viable recourse other than to land straight ahead. It is much

better to make a controlled landing in the treetops than to stall the

aircraft trying to make an unreachable field.

Airstart - PERFORM. If conditions warrant and above 1500 feet AGL, perform a

simulated airstart in accordance with NATOPS. Place your hand on each

control/switch as you report it to the instructor, but do not move any item.
