Also where is it best to drop the gear.
Do we wait until we know we can make the field with due allowance for the extra drag, or drop the gear early to get a better feel for the glide performance with the gear out.
Thats if we use the gear at all.
Should it be lowered on every approach in case student forgets on a glide approach to the runway.
Stopping the prop i'm only advocating in the engine fire not out situation where an oil fire may torch through the cowl or smoke obscure the view ahead. Stopping the prop is quite easy for the usual Cessna Pipers.
Partial power failures probably present the ultimate challenge.
Do you commit all to a PFL or make the best of a raw deal.I always point out to students in EX6 part 2 flight at slow cruise how little power is required to keep us airborne.
