Use flight controls in the proper combination as recommended by the manufacturer, or as required to maintain best performance, and trim as required.

Determine the cause for the powerplant(s) failure and if a restart is a viable option. 53

Maintain the operating powerplant(s) within acceptable operating limits.

Maintain airspeed ±10 knots, altitude ±100 feet, headings ±10°, as specified by the evaluator and within the airplane’s capability.

Consider a powerplant restart and, if appropriate, demonstrate the powerplant restart procedures in accordance with the manufacturer or operator specified procedures and checklists.

Select the nearest suitable airport or landing area.

Communicate with air traffic control (ATC) and the evaluator, as appropriate for the situation.
