Engine Failure Procedures

Engine failure procedures are steps pilots follow if their aircraft loses engine power. First, the pilot assesses the situation, including altitude and location, to determine the best course of action. They will then manage the controls to maintain aircraft stability and glide if necessary. The pilot may attempt to restart the engine and will seek a safe landing area. Communication with air traffic control is also crucial for guidance and assistance. These procedures help ensure the safety of everyone on board and facilitate a controlled response to a serious situation.
