Chair flying
Mental rehearsal, step by step — sit in a chair, fly the maneuver out loud, hands on imaginary controls. Grade each rehearsal and the scheduler brings maneuvers back as they fade, just like flashcards.

Pre-Takeoff Engine-Failure Briefing
- Runway, wind, and performance — takeoff distance, accelerate-stop, and single-engine climb for today's density altitude and weightLight twins are not required to have a positive single-engine rate of climb at any altitude. Know before you roll whether today's airplane will climb on one.
- Speeds: Vr, Vyse (blue line), Vmc (red line), Vsse
- Failure before rotation: throttles closed, brakes, stop straight ahead
- Failure after liftoff with runway remaining and gear down: close the throttles and land straight aheadThe landing gear stays selected DOWN as long as there is usable runway or overrun to land on. Gear down means continued takeoff and climb is not recommended.
- Failure after liftoff with the gear up and no runway remaining: pitch Vyse, mixtures/props/throttles forward, flaps up, gear up, identify, verify, feather
- Climb straight ahead or with shallow turns to at least 400 ft AGL before turning back; obstacles and terrain off the departure end
- Who flies, who touches what, and the tolerance for any simulated failure — never below VsseAFH: no engine failure should ever be introduced below Vsse; if none is published, use Vyse.
