In the case of a power loss, what should be prioritized when intercepting an ELP profile?

Prioritizing the interception of an Emergency Landing Procedure (ELP) profile at low key, base key, or final is crucial during a power loss scenario. The ELP is designed to guide a pilot in safely approaching and landing the aircraft in the event of an engine failure.

When a pilot is faced with a power loss, the best course of action is to establish the necessary glide path and intercept the ELP at the appropriate points. This ensures that the aircraft can manage its descent and maintain control while approaching the landing site. By focusing on the correct intercept points, the pilot can effectively plan for a safe landing while managing airspeed and descent rate, which are critical factors during an engine-out situation.

Other aspects such as maintaining communication with air traffic control, regaining altitude through wing levelling, or disregarding obstacle avoidance are important considerations but should not take precedence over establishing the correct ELP profile. Prioritizing the intercept ensures that the aircraft has a controlled approach, which is vital for a successful landing in an emergency.
