Beechjet 400A Computer Training Systems (CTSys) Practice Test

In an engine failure during landing configuration, what is the recommended action regarding thrust?

Thrust to idle Do not change thrust Thrust (operating engine) AS REQUIRED Thrust to maximum

Correct Answer:

Thrust (operating engine) AS REQUIRED

Explanation:

When one engine fails during landing configuration, you manage energy by setting the thrust on the remaining engine to whatever level is required to hold the correct approach speed and descent profile. This ensures you have enough airspeed and control authority to safely reach the runway, and it leaves you with the option to go around if stability or glide path cannot be maintained. Keeping the operating engine at idle would likely cause you to slow too much and risk a stall, while pushing it to maximum isn’t needed for a normal approach and could create unnecessary asymmetry and drag. So you apply thrust on the operating engine as required to sustain the approach and maintain safe energy management.
