Flameout
Pattern
An approach
normally conducted by a single-engine military aircraft
experiencing loss or anticipating loss of engine power or control.
The standard overhead approach starts at a relatively high altitude
over a runway ("high key") followed by a continuous 180 degree turn
to a high, wide position ("low key") followed by a continuous 180
degree turn final. The standard straight-in pattern starts at a
point that results in a straight-in approach with a high rate of
descent to the runway. Flameout approaches terminate in the type
approach requested by the pilot (normally
fullstop).
