WHEN TRAINING FOR ENGINE OUT, DO YOU ACTUALLY TURN OF THE MAGS?

When training for partial panel, do you actually turn off the
master? When training for failed pitot-static do you actually block
the pitot tube and/or static ports?
I'd hate to think how you train your students for an engine or wing
fire! There's plenty of flight training that goes on without actual
demonstration. You can call it whatever you want...

Feel free to borrow my glasses. I put the sentence in all caps to help
you read. Just what training for "engine out" do YOU do in a SE
aircraft?


I'm sorry, what part of Engine Out Training implies ME? Do single engines
not fail in flight? Do SE students not train to manage an engine failure in
a single? Do you mean to imply that your PPL students are never trained in
engine out procedures? Do they even know what Best Glide Speed is then?

Absolutely scary.


Bottom line is that training should be as close to what happens during
flight as possible and within safe limits. What are safe limits might
be argued but some of us know that spins, stalls, engine out , etc.
practice (training) all makes better, safer pilots during his/her
flying career.

THAT I agree with. But the OP, Greg Estes, seemed to disagree. He
disqualified anything that was not actually demonstrated from being
considered training.


BTW: Judah is a "he". The female version of me would be named "Judy".
