Single engined aircraft for multi‐engined flying training

RISING FUEL, service and maintenance prices have highlighted the need for strict cost monitoring of basic flying training, both in the military and commercial spheres. This requirement has become particularly acute in the multi‐engined aircraft primary training context. The use of conventional twin‐engined aircraft for this purpose is expensive, both in terms of first cost and in operation. Moreover, the simulation of the “engine out” condition can, on occasions, prove hazardous.
