<?xml version="1.0"?> <PropertyList> <name>Engine Failure</name> <description>Engine failure is very rare in flight simulators, but a risk in real life. The tutorial starts with you cruising at 3000 ft near Hilo. A total engine failure will occur, with no possibility of restart - black smoke, chunks of metal pushed out of the cowling. Glide the aircraft to the nearest airport and make a successful emergency landing. You must manage your altitude and fly a normal pattern from "abeam the numbers". Don't deploy flaps until you have the runway "made". The Cessna 172 glides at a ratio of 9:1 at a best glide speed of 65 kts IAS. The glide ratio assumes no flaps and a "windmilling" propeller. If you fly any faster or slower, or have flaps deployed, the glide rate will be worse. PHTO (Hilo) is within glide distance. Try to land at PHTO. </description> <nasal> <script> c172p.repair_damage(); electrical.reset_battery_and_circuit_breakers(); c172p.click("engine-repair", 6.0); c172p.dialog_battery_reload(); setprop("/engines/active-engine/oil-level", sim/model/c172p/engine_flag_0 ? 7 : 8); setprop("/engines/active-engine/carb_ice", 0.0); setprop("/fdm/jsbsim/engine/damage-level", 0.0); </script> </nasal> <timeofday>dusk</timeofday> <presets> <airport-id>PHTO</airport-id> <on-ground>0</on-ground> <altitude-ft>3000</altitude-ft> <latitude-deg>19.76209725536232</latitude-deg> <longitude-deg>-155.017574109008</longitude-deg> <heading-deg>270</heading-deg> <airspeed-kt>105.0</airspeed-kt> <glideslope-deg>3.5</glideslope-deg> <offset-azimuth-deg>0</offset-azimuth-deg> <offset-distance-nm>0</offset-distance-nm> <ndb-id>0</ndb-id> <vor-id>0</vor-id> <fix>0</fix> </presets> <step> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/chock</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/cowl-plugs-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/tiedownL-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/tiedownR-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/tiedownT-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/securing/pitot-cover-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/controls/flight/flaps</property> <value>0.0</value> <set> <property>/controls/switches/master-bat</property> <value>true</value> </set> <set> <property>/controls/switches/master-alt</property> <value>true</value> </set> </set> <set> <property>/controls/switches/magnetos</property> <value>3</value> </set> <set> <property>/controls/engines/current-engine/throttle</property> <value>0.2</value> </set> <set> <property>/instrumentation/adf/frequencies/selected-khz</property> <value>367</value> </set> <set> <property>/environment/weather-scenario</property> <value>Fair weather</value> </set> <set> <property>instrumentation/altimeter/setting-inhg</property> <value>29.95</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/cockpit/control-lock-placed</property> <value>false</value> </set> <set> <property>/sim/model/c172p/cockpit/control-lock-visible</property> <value>false</value> </set> <nasal> <script> setprop("/controls/engines/current-engine/mixture", 1.0); setprop("/controls/switches/starter", 1); </script> </nasal> <message></message> <view> <heading-offset-deg>0.0</heading-offset-deg> <pitch-offset-deg>-12</pitch-offset-deg> <roll-offset-deg>0.0</roll-offset-deg> <x-offset-m>-0.21</x-offset-m> <y-offset-m>0.19</y-offset-m> <field-of-view>73.6</field-of-view> </view> </step> <step> <nasal> <script> var listeners = std.Vector.new(); listeners.append(setlistener("/engines/active-engine/running", func (node) { if (node.getBoolValue()) { setprop("/controls/switches/starter", 0); foreach (var listener; listeners.vector) { removelistener(listener); } listeners.clear(); } }, 1, 0)); </script> </nasal> <set> <property>/controls/engines/current-engine/throttle</property> <value>0.6</value> </set> <message>We're happily cruising along, enjoying an evenings flight.</message> <wait>15</wait> </step> <step> <message>Engine failure!
