Chapter 16 - Transition to Other Airplanes   This chapter is devoted to the factors associated with, and the basic operating practices applicable to, a pilot checkout on airplanes which have significantly different flight characteristics, performance capabilities, and operating procedures from those airplanes which the pilot has previously flown. Accident records indicate that some pilots take unnecessary risks when they attempt to fly a different type of airplane without familiarizing themselves with its peculiarities, limitations, and systems. A knowledge and observance of the basic practices discussed in this chapter may save many lives and unnecessary accidents.   Checkout in Different Makes of Models of Airplanes Checkout in a Multiengine Airplane Light Twin Performance Characteristics Engine Out Emergencies Propeller Feathering Engine Out Procedures The Critical Engine Vmc Demonstrations Accelerate/Stop Distance Factors in Takeoff Planning Normal Takeoff - Both Engines Operating Short Field or Obstacle Clearance Takeoff Engine Failure on Takeoff Engine Failure Enroute Engine Out Approach and Landing Pressurized Airplanes FAATest.com - Aviation Library Dauntless Software hosts and maintains this library as a service to pilots and aspiring pilots worldwide.
