For the IR initial on a twin it is part of the test to do an asymetric go around after an ILS followed by a single engined NDB approach.The go around initially is MDH +50 ft.The MDH is shown in the Aerad approach plate for that particular runway.Add 50 ft to this.If this is 200ft for an ILS the go-around would be initiated at a height NOT to go below 250ft.Below 250 is a fail. Once a/c passes 500 QNH the examiner will close one engine to equivalent of idle thrust.You then have to clean it uo as quickly as possible whilst maintaining runway heading.All drills must be then completed.Once trimmed out and straight and level it doesn't fly too badly(C401)but I wouldn't like to do it with full fuel and 6 pax!!The important thing here is not to drop below the 250 ft and to reset the altimeter to QNH on the overshoot.For the NDB approach on one engine the MDH may be 500 QFE and once this is reached the a/c is flown st and level at exactly 500 until runway is seen.If not overshoot but normally examiner takes over and lands a/c.
PHEW!! I'm exhausted thinking about it.
Next renewal due June so I'll have to start practising again soon.
