Simulated Emergency 'Way Too Real'

Be Careful Of What You Practice For...

Practice, practice, practice... but don't take it too far. Yet another simulated emergency landing turned into the real thing this week. Whenever simulating a powerplant emergency with reduced power settings, it behooves those involved to carefully monitor their engine health... way too many simulated emergencies turn into the real thing because pilots concentrate on the practice and not the reality of their situation--giving the engine a chance to take a hike while your attention is elsewhere. A long idling engine, in the typical simulated emergency approach, is asking to hiccup and quit when you least expect it... so keep an eye on how it's doing throughout the procedure.
