How is the zoom/glide executed during a confirmed engine failure situation?

The execution of a zoom/glide during a confirmed engine failure situation is crucial for maintaining control and optimizing performance. The appropriate technique is to slow to 125 KIAS minimum when below 150 KIAS. This speed allows for better control and the ability to manage the aircraft’s energy effectively. It ensures that the aircraft remains within a manageable airspeed where lift and control surfaces are still effective, reducing the risk of stall or loss of control while allowing for maximum glide distance and the ability to make a safe landing approach.

By adhering to this speed management, pilots can ensure that they have enough control authority to maneuver the aircraft and adjust their glide path as necessary, which is essential in an emergency situation. Thus, maintaining a speed of 125 KIAS minimum, when below 150 KIAS, helps facilitate optimal glide performance and enhances the chances of a safe landing.
