Engine out procedures

Engine out procedures are step-by-step actions pilots follow when an aircraft's engine fails or loses power during flight. The goal is to safely control the aircraft, maintain stable flight, and prepare for an emergency landing if needed. Procedures include establishing the best glide speed, identifying the failed engine, adjusting controls to minimize drag, informing air traffic control, and selecting a suitable landing site. These steps help ensure the aircraft remains controllable and safe, giving pilots a structured plan to handle the situation efficiently and reduce risk until they can land or troubleshoot further.
