Question 11

SSE Waveoff at Altitude: Setup

Answer 11

• Setup (simulating the downwind)
  o Level off at 1000’ altitude + 800’
  o On a numbered heading
  o 120 KIAS

Question 12

SSE Waveoff at Altitude: Execution

Answer 12

o IP – power lever to idle
o “Power up, rudder up, clean up”
o EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST – Execute
o IP – “Approaching the 180”
o Flaps – As Required
o Gear – Down, Landing checklist
o Start descending left turn to arrive at the “90”at 500’, minimum 110 KIAS
o Continue to “Final” at 250’, minimum of 110 KIAS and maximum of 120 KIAS
o Props – full forward
o IP – “Waveoff”
o SINGLE-ENGINE WAVEOFF CHECKLIST – Execute
- The maneuverer is complete when established in a clean climb, minimum of VXSE (preferably VYSE), with the aircraft trimmed and in balanced flight.
