Good day,

Well, my instructor banged the lever to idle a few times, teaching me to try only 1 engine "re-start"; and to then concentrate on a suitable landing spot while flying the airplane at all time!

For fire it would be similar, albeit with power.

In my microlight we never practised stalls as we simply don't know the aircraft well enough.
In my new aircraft I'd love to give that a regular go.....

My old plane didn't have flaps so I guess the new one would fly a similar landing speed with 0 degrees flap. I will practise that in due time.

Brake failure I recently practised.....as my brake lever failed.

GPS failure, well we fly local flights without GPS anyway and for X-country I have 3 independant GPS's installed. Plus, we fly visual so I'd make my way home.

I have a double Pitot tube; but I guess I'd like to practise a landing without air speed indicator.

Anything else you could recommend for a Rotax 914 LSA with glass cockpit!??
