I a few minutes the horin zontal needle of the ILS dropped to the center of i s dial, indicating that the t plane was on Glide Path. The vertical needle had been centered since Downey, showing that the plane was on-course. If he'd had two engines and approach speed, the pilot would merely have lowered a quarter-flap and his wheels to obtain speed and glide-angle to ~ t a y on the glide path; with only one engine operative he lowered gear and one. quarter flaps (for stability) and adjusted left engine power to maintain approach speed and glide angle. The Beech stayed on the glide path w t only ih small correcfions of elevator; meanwhile he called for the check-off list and got ready to land. The gram ADF swung down and a purple light flashed: that would be the Outer Marker. He ground i the Middle Marker, and adn vised Approach Control he'd left the Outer Marker. Approach Control further cleared Nan 777 for a straight-in approach to Runway 25. When he passed the range station the pilot knew it was time to tie down his ILS and make the approach perfect W e the vertical ILS needle swung to hn one side (showing he was off course) he quickly moved the nose until his gyro showed a change of two or three degrees, picking up his wings as needed, keeping the vertical needle centered. His eyes scanned the gauges rapidly: the ILS needles . . . airspeed , altimeter .gyro.,.ADF The check pilot began to call out airspeed and altitude: "800 . 100; 700 98; 600 . . . 100; 600 . . . 102; 400 . CONTACT." With the word "contact" the cheek pilot Mgan to earn h s salary. H i e reached down with one hand to tarn on the gas and revive the right engine, with the other he disconnected the blindflying hood. A yellow light flashed on the panel. "Middle Marker," said the pilot, and looked out. "Why, it's CAVU," he shouted. 'Full flaps, gear down, cleared to land," aaid the check pilot, " I l l give you the right engine after we land, in order to taxi." After that he didn't open his mouth until the pilot cut his switches. dl That was a good training flight," said the check pilot, "about three hours long-that's 10,000 seconds under the hood, more or less. We were on time a l l the way, the voice procedures were good, instrument technique passable, but your single engine work shows you can think, and that's what counts. Couldn't have done better myself. By the way, we left that cloud bank at five-eight, just before I cut your right engine this side of Riverside!
