![]() "Dudley Henriques" wrote in message ... The difference between a windmilling propeller (I'm talking singles here) and a stopped prop on glide can easily be covered by an instructor and understood by the student without actually stopping the prop. Bottom line for me anyway, is that I never recommend an actual shutdown. I DO recommend serious practice of simulated engine out landings (no power assist from an unknown point through the landing) ON THE RUNWAY with particular attention to the attainment of a key position for the subsequent power off approach and landing on the runway. In all the years I was instructing, I found this method completely satisfactory for preparing a pilot to handle a forced landing. Dudley Henriques Thanks, Dudley! That answers my question exactly. -c |
