Safety information
in
the shortest possible time, and is based
on
the
following
criteria:
-
critical
engine
inoperative,
and its propeller in
the minimum drag position.
-
operating
engine
set at
not
more than maximum
continuous power.
-
landing
gear
retracted.
-
wing
flaps
in the most favorable
(i.e., best
lift/drag ratio position).
-
cowl
flaps
as
required
for
engine
cooling.
-
aircraft flown at recommended
bank
angle.
Drag
caused
by a
windmilling
propeller,
extending
landing gear, or flaps in the landing
position,
will
severely
degrade
or destroy
single
engine climb
performance.
Since
engine climb
performance
varies
widely
with
type
of airplane,
weight,
temperature,
altitude,
and airplane
configuration,
the climb
gradient
(altitude
gain
or
loss
per
mile)
may
be
marginal
-
or
even negative
-
under
some
conditions.
Study
the Information
Manual for
your
specific
airplane
and
know
what
performance
to
expect
with
one-engine out.
