A. TASK: EMERGENCY APPROACH AND LANDING (SIMULATED) (ASEL and ASES)

NOTE: The examiner must NOT simulate a power failure by placing the fuel selector to the "off" position or by placing the mixture control in the "idle-cutoff" position. No simulated emergency approach is to be continued below 500 feet AGL, unless over an area where a safe landing can be accomplished in compliance with 14 CFR section 91.119.
REFERENCES: FAA-H-8083-3; FAA-S-8081-12, FAA-S-8081-14; POH/AFM.
Objective. To determine that the applicant:
1. Exhibits instructional knowledge of the elements related to an emergency approach and landing by describing-
   a. prompt establishment of the best glide airspeed and the recommended configuration.
   b. how to select a suitable emergency landing area.
   c. planning and execution of approach to the selected landing area.
   d. use of emergency checklist.
   e. importance of attempting to determine reason for the malfunction.
   f. importance of dividing attention between flying the approach and accomplishing emergency checklist.
   g. procedures that can be used to compensate for under-shooting or overshooting selected emergency landing area.
2. Exhibits instructional knowledge of common errors related to an emergency approach and landing by describing-
   a. improper airspeed control.
   b. poor judgment in the selection of an emergency landing area.
   c. failure to estimate the approximate wind speed and direction.
   d. failure to fly the most suitable pattern for existing situation.
   e. failure to accomplish the emergency checklist.
   f. undershooting or overshooting selected emergency landing area.
3. Demonstrates and simultaneously explains an emergency approach with a simulated engine failure from an instructional standpoint.
4. Analyzes and corrects simulated common errors related to an emergency approach with a simulated engine failure.

B. TASK: SYSTEMS AND EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTIONS (ASEL and ASES)

REFERENCES: FAA-H-8083-3; FAA-S-8081-12, FAA-S-8081-14; POH/AFM.
NOTE: The examiner must not simulate a system or equipment malfunction in a manner that may jeopardize safe flight or result in possible damage to the airplane.
Objective. To determine that the applicant exhibits instructional knowledge of at least five (5) of the equipment malfunctions, appropriate to the airplane used for the practical test by describing recommended pilot action for:
1. Smoke, fire, or both, during ground or flight operations.
2. Rough running engine or partial power loss.
3. Loss of engine oil pressure.
4. Fuel starvation.
5. Engine overheat.
6. Hydraulic malfunction.
7. Electrical malfunction.
8. Carburetor or induction icing.
9. Door or window opening in flight.
10. Inoperative or "runaway" trim.
11. Landing gear or flap malfunction.
12. Pressurization malfunction.

C. TASK: EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT AND SURVIVAL GEAR (ASEL and ASES)

REFERENCES: FAA-H-8083-3; FAA-S-8081-12, FAA-S-8081-14; POH/AFM.
Objective. To determine that the applicant exhibits instructional knowledge of the elements related to emergency equipment and survival gear appropriate to the airplane used for the practical test by describing:
1. Equipment and gear appropriate for operation in various climates, over various types of terrain, and over water.
2. Purpose, method of operation or use, servicing and storage of appropriate equipment.

D. TASK: EMERGENCY DESCENT) (ASEL and ASES)

REFERENCES: FAA-H-8083-3; FAA-S-8081-12, FAA-S-8081-14; POH/AFM.
Objective. To determine that the applicant exhibits instructional knowledge of the elements related to emergency descents appropriate to the airplane flown by:
1. Exhibiting instructional knowledge of the elements related to an emergency descent by describing-
   a. situations that require an emergency descent.
   b. proper use of the prescribed emergency checklist to verify accomplishment of procedures before initiating and during the emergency descent.
   c. proper use of clearing procedures before initiating and during the emergency descent.
   d. procedures for recovering from an emergency descent.
   e. manufacturer's procedures.
2. Exhibiting instructional knowledge of common errors related to an emergency descent by describing-
   a. the consequences of failing to identify reason for executing an emergency descent.
   b. improper use of the prescribed emergency checklist to verify accomplishment of procedures for initiating the emergency descent.
   c. improper use of clearing procedures for initiating the emergency descent.
   d. improper procedures for recovering from an emergency descent.
3. Demonstrates and simultaneously explains emergency decents from an instructional standpoint.
4. Analyzes and corrects simulated common errors related to emergency decents.
