Case 2. Crosswind Turn

JOINT ADVANCED MULTI-ENGINE T-44A

WARNING

A positive rate of climb cannot be maintained in any configuration with a windmilling prop. Banking 5 into the

operating engine, while maintaining the ball nearly centered ( to out towards the operating engine), is critical

to optimizing single-engine climb performance at low airspeed and high AOA.

(5)

Maintain 110 KIAS (minimum 102 KIAS).

(6)

Initiate the crosswind turn at 300' or above, and continue climbing to 800'. Complete the

Emergency Shutdown Checklist.

(7)

Transfer communications to the CP, declare an emergency and address Dead Engine Checklist.

Under simulated emergency conditions, inform the IP you would now advise the Tower of your

emergency and intentions.

Case 2. Crosswind Turn. Loss of an engine in a high AOB turn requires immediate action, especially if

the inside engine fails. Proceed as follows:

(1)

Add power while simultaneously leveling the wings momentarily, nearly center the ball, and clean

up. Roll wings level regardless of the malfunction. Rolling out allows proper analysis, better

control of the aircraft, and ensures proper rudder input. Maintain a minimum of 110 KIAS. After

regaining control, continue the crosswind turn. An immediate resumption of the turn is desired at

Cabaniss to prevent extending the pattern.

(2)

Perform the memory items of the Emergency Shutdown Checklist. After checklist is completed,

transfer communications to the CP, have him/her declare an emergency and address the Dead

Engine Checklist.

(3)

Climb to pattern altitude, and then accelerate to 120 KIAS. Maximum allowable power may be

required initially, but should be reduced as soon as practicable.

Case 3. Downwind. Fly a normal pattern.

(1)

Add power, nearly center the ball, and clean up if required to maintain 120 KIAS and 800'. The

gear and/or flaps may be raised. Do not clean up if airspeed and 800' can be maintained at

120 KIAS until the 180.

(2)

Perform the memory items of the Emergency Shutdown Checklist. Transfer communications to

the CP, declare an emergency and address the Dead Engine Checklist.

(3)

Just prior to the 180, if attitude and airspeed permit, select approach flaps, gear down, and

complete the Landing Checklist (if not previously completed). The CP is responsible for making

the radio call once communications are transferred.

NOTES:

(1). If altitude and/or airspeed do not permit lowering of the flaps and landing gear, inform the CP and Tower

you are holding the gear until reaching the pattern profile.

(2). The Landing Checklist must never be held. However, if it was interrupted for any reason, it shall be

reinitiated.

(4)

Maintain 120 KIAS (minimum 110 KIAS) to the 90. The gear must be down and Landing

Checklist complete no later than the 90.

Case 4. Approach Turn. The approach turn is defined as any point after commencing a turn off the 180

until just prior to rolling out on final. Power loss in a descent is normally easy to control with only slight

additional power.

(1)

Add power to maintain 110 KIAS minimum/120 KIAS maximum and nearly center the ball. Do

not raise the gear unless committed to a waveoff. Maintain a minimum of 110 KIAS.

(2)

Continue the approach turn.
