Reminder: Teaching partial power loss
From 1 October 2025, flight exercises addressing the partial loss of engine power were introduced to the following training syllabi:
- Private Pilot’s Licence (Aeroplanes);
- National Private Pilot’s Licence (Aeroplanes); and
- Sailplane Pilot Licence with Touring Motor Glider rating/Self Launch Privilege.
Partial engine power loss scenarios are also now a strongly recommended exercise on the biennial refresher training for single engine piston (SEP), touring motor glider (TMG) and microlight class rating holders.
To provide guidance to instructors on this subject, there is a recorded webinar from September 2025 produced by our GA Safety Promotions Partner Astral Aviation Consulting that all Flight Instructors and Class Rating Instructors qualified on the relevant aircraft are encouraged to review.
