Webinar: Teaching partial power loss

From 1 October 2025, flight exercises addressing the partial loss of engine power are being 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. 

Partial engine power loss scenarios will also be a recommended exercise on the biennial refresher training for single engine piston (SEP), touring motor glider (TMG) and microlight class rating holders.

The addition is to enhance safety and ensure that pilots apply appropriate decision making and handling skills when faced with a partial loss of engine power. To provide guidance to instructors on this subject, Astral Aviation Consulting are hosting a 90-minute webinar on 10 September 2025, at 19:30 BST.

All Flight Instructors and Class Rating Instructors qualified on the relevant aircraft are encouraged to attend.
