| Question of the Week?Q. What is the purpose for power-off accuracy approaches? A. The objective of power-off accuracy approaches and landings is to instill in the pilot the judgment and procedures necessary for accurately flying the airplane, without power, to a safe landing. The pilot who knows the normal glide angle of the airplane can estimate with reasonable accuracy, the approximate spot along a given ground path at which the airplane will land, regardless of altitude. The pilot, who also has the ability to accurately estimate altitude, can judge how much maneuvering is possible during the glide, which is important to the choice of landing areas in an actual emergency. (Ref. FAA-H-8083-3 page 7-15) |
