MULTIENGINE FLIGHTThis chapter is devoted to the factors associated withthe operation of small MULTIENGINE airplanes. For thepurpose of this handbook, a small MULTIENGINE air-plane is a reciprocating or turbopropeller-poweredairplane with a maximum certificated takeoff weightof 12,500 pounds or less. This discussion assumes aconventional design with two engines one mountedon each wing. Reciprocating engines are assumedunless otherwise noted. The term light-twin, although not formally defined in the regulations, isused herein as a small MULTIENGINE airplane with amaximum certificated takeoff weight of 6,000 poundsor are several unique characteristics of multiengineairplanes that make them worthy of a separate class rat-ing. Knowledge of these factors and proficient flightskills are a key to safe FLIGHT in these airplanes. Thischapter deals extensively with the numerous aspects ofone engine inoperative (OEI) FLIGHT .
climb gradient is the actual measure of altitude gained per 100 feet of horizontal travel, expressed as a per-centage. An altitude gain of 1.5 feet per 100 feet of travel (or 15 feet per 1,000, or 150 feet per 10,000) is a climb gradient of 1.5 percent. There …
