Single Engine ILS Approach & Landing

🛫 Scenario Setup

Following E01 or E02 scenario. Aircraft configured single engine. Engine 2 inoperative. ILS 26 KPHX in use. Weather: 600 OVC, vis 2sm. Vref SE calculated.

💥 Failure Injection

Single engine ILS approach required after engine failure/fire.

📋 Required Actions (Sequence)

  1. Brief ILS 26 – full approach brief with single engine considerations
  2. Calculate Vref SE (single engine Vref – add appropriate increment)
  3. Configure aircraft for single engine approach – do not retract flaps prematurely
  4. Maintain Vref SE throughout final – no lower
  5. At DH: visual or go-around decision
  6. Single engine landing – anticipate asymmetric thrust on go-around if needed
  7. After landing: do not attempt taxi with one engine if not necessary

✅ Evaluation Points

  • Vref SE used – not normal Vref
  • Stabilized by 1000 ft IMC or 500 ft VMC
  • No airspeed below Vref at any point
  • Go-around executed if not stabilized

❌ Common Errors (UNSAT)

  • Using normal Vref instead of SE Vref
  • Continuing unstabilized SE approach
  • Retracting flaps/gear prematurely during SE go-around

🎓 What the Instructor / Examiner Watches For

TIMING STANDARDS
