Knowledge

What you should understand and be able to explain.

6 elements

• PA.IX.F.K1
  Factors affecting minimum controllable speed (VMC).
• PA.IX.F.K2
  VMC (red line), VYSE (blue line), and safe single-engine speed (VSSE).
• PA.IX.F.K3
  Accelerate/stop and accelerate/go distances.
• PA.IX.F.K4
  How to identify, verify, feather, and secure an inoperative engine.
• PA.IX.F.K5
  Importance of drag reduction, including propeller feathering, gear and flap retraction, the manufacturer’s recommended control input and its relation to zero sideslip.
• PA.IX.F.K6
  Simulated propeller feathering and the evaluator’s zero-thrust procedures and responsibilities.
