I have finally reached the point where I feel like I can land a tail dragger at least 2 out of 3 times in a normal pattern!! Today I tried a couple of practice engine out approaches. I left the prop at 2700 RPM and simply pulled the throttle to idle.
I used a 270 degree navy flameout approach with High Key at 2200 feet agl and low key at 1200 feet agl. Seemed to work out well. High key was about 1/3 down the runway 90 degrees out to the runway heading. This seemed to work well and both approaches were easy and controllable. I am wondering what type of patterns others use for engine out work and if I decide to pull the mixture and try one with the engine off what considerations I should keep in mind.
