Section Part B
07 SINGLE ENGINE CIRCUIT
Normal circuit procedures are to be followed with the exception that the gear is not to be
lowered until a landing is assured.
Maintain a minimum of 87 Kts in the circuit pattern and only reduce this to 85 Kts on final
approach once the landing is assured. The gear may then be lowered and power reduced.
The aircraft should be in a guaranteed position to land at a "decision
height" of 300ft above ground level, straight in on final approach before the gear is
lowered. If a Go Around is contemplated the decision must be made before "decision
height" is reached, and the terrain should be such that a low level circuit can be flown
using small angles of bank, to reposition for another approach.
Once the gear is lowered on finals the aircraft is committed to land. A Go-Around will no
longer be possible.
Normal across the fence speed of 80 Kts is used followed by normal braking. Provision for
turning off the runway towards the dead engine should be considered.
08 SINGLE ENGINE GO AROUND
A Go Around using one engine can only be accomplished if height above ground is
available when the decision is made.
For Go-Around use:
1) Full Power
2) Aircraft clean
3) 87 Kts
4) Maximum of 15 Deg angle of bank Do Not Descend
A Decision Height of 300 feet above ground level is used as an absolute minimum for a
Go-Around decision.
A single engine climb rate of 200 fpm or less does not permit the aircraft to be
manoeuvred safely in confined areas.
Terrain clearance is important in the decision to go around.
The aircraft is not to be flown below terrain height unless the approach is assured.
A Go-Around on one engine is not a good option and it is important not to allow the aircraft
to get into this situation.
WARNING: Under no circumstances should the floats or gear be down in a Go-
Around.
