Realizing that I had not practiced an engine-out approach in too long, I decided to “fail” my Lycoming while doing touch-and-goes at Jacksonville’s Herlong airport.
Me:
“Cherokee 69T. Simulated engine-out and short approach.”
[After a few moments, I saw that I would be seriously short.]
Me:
“Cherokee 69T again, simulating getting my engine back on!”
(The next try was spot-on.)
