When does the risk outweigh the benefit?
I really don't understand your thoughts on this stance, Jay.
I know you have said you slowly apply power for takeoffs, but if you did that at the end of the engine out emergency landing practice, how is that different than takeoffs? Whenever we practiced engine-out emergencies, as students, it seemed we always jammed the throttle full forward when we figured we had the field made. Of course, we also didn't lean the engine at all, and had no compunction about running the engine at high RPMs immediately after start-up. I don't think there's any reason to NOT apply the throttle slowly during an engine-out exercise, other than student "panic" as the ground approached. I'll give it a whirl next time we go up. -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"
