How do you plan the descent in emergency landing practice?
or too low. You have to rely on your altimeter and use several
'target' altitudes until you turn final. I disagree. Of course the alitmeter can be very helpful, but only if you know the ground elevation and if you are sure your current altimeter setting is correct. Correct. Additionally, altimeter will tend to stick with engine off. Glider pilots are taught to ignore altimeter during circuit and landing. Bartek

WHAT? Engine off - no vibration - altimeter sticks. B.

Engine off - no vibration - altimeter sticks. In my one fixed wing engine out that didn't happen. But I could see where it could. A parked altimeter consistently unmoved by overnight weather changes could be a tip-off. - FChE

So what do they do during the IFR cert? Shake the plane around? I have no idea. As I said, I do not fly power. Is shutting down an engine (or all engines) in flight required as a part of any certification? Bartek
