Paperback

All Engine Failure Training Tool

This is a web based tool for exploration of energy management and navigational strategy following failure of all engines. It should work with any modern web browser.

A background information document is available. This discusses the inferences used in the creation of the flight model and my personal strategies.

The tool is installable. When installed, with the exception of external links, it works offline. Installation of web applications is functionality provided by your web browser, so the exact method will be different for each browser and operating system combination. Probably the most obscure is the iPad: tap the link below in Safari, then click on the square with an upwards pointing arrow to the right of the URL bar and choose “Add to Home Screen”.
