## Narrative

As the FAA filed it, in capitals; the FAA replaces private details with ^PRIVACY DATA OMITTED^.

NARRATIVE: WHILE FLYING THE BE-76 IN THE PRACTICE AREA, WE PERFORMED FOUR ENGINE FAILURES. THREE OF WHICH WERE PERFORMED BY RETARDING A THROTTLE AND ONE BY SHUTTING OFF FUEL. WE PRACTICED THREE ENGINE FAILURES SIMULATING TRAFFIC PATTERN OPERATIONS AND REVIEWING THE PROCEDURES. DESCENDING FROM THE CHAUNCHY RANCH INTO DOWNWIND, I RETARDED THE RIGHT THROTTLE. AS CRIS (MY STUDENT) WENT THROUGH THE ENGINE FAILURE PROCEDURES, I FOLLOWED ALONG AND INSTRUCTED WHEN NECESSARY. AFTER SIMULATING SECURING THE DEAD ENGINE, I INSTRUCTED HIM TO NOTE PERFORMANCE WAS GOOD. I THEN SAID TO PROCEED WITH THE STANDARD ABEAM LANDING SPOT PROCEDURES EXCEPT FOR THE FLAP SELECTION. AT THIS TIME THE TOWER GAVE US INSTRUCTIONS. I BELIEVE THE INSTRUCTIONS WERE THAT WE WOULD BE FOLLOWING TRAFFIC TURNING LEFT BASE. I RESPONDED TO THE TOWER STATING WE WERE LOOKING FOR OUR TRAFFIC TO FOLLOW. IT THEN APPEARED TO ME THAT CRIS WAS DOING THE FLOW CHECK BEFORE LANDING. I THEN LOOKED AGAIN FOR OUR TRAFFIC WHILE AT THE SAME TIME MONITORING CRIS. I THEN NOTED THAT CRIS HAD THE BEFORE LANDING CHECKLIST OUT. THIS IS CONSISTENT WITH OUR PROCEDURE OF FOLLOWING UP OUR FLOW CHECK WITH THE CHECKLIST. AS WE PROCEEDED FROM BASE TO FINAL, I WAS INSTRUCTING CRIS TO MAKE SURE HE BE SLIGHTLY ABOVE THE GLIDE SLOPE. THIS IS SO WE MAY HAVE AS LITTLE POWER ON THE OPERATIVE ENGINE AS NECESSARY SO OUR DIRECTIONAL CONTROL WOULD BE EASILY CONTROLLED. SOMEWHERE ON OUR TURN TO FINAL OR ON FINAL THE TOWER MADE A LAST CALL TO US WYICH I BELIEVE WAS A CLEARANCE TO LAND. I RESPONDED TO THE CALL.  WHILE DESCENDING THROUGH 500 FEET AGL, I NOTED TO HIM WE WERE GOOD ON GLIDE (SLIGHTLY HIGH), BUT WE WERE STILL AT ABOUT 100KTS. SO INSTRUCTED HIM TO FEEL FREE TO COME TO IDLE ON THE POWER TO SLOW IT DOWN AND THAT HE AS BOTH ENGINES NOW FOR LANDING. CRIS AGAIN DID AS I INSTRUCTED. WE THEN CONTINUED THE APPROACH WITHOUT THE USE OF FLAPS COMPLETING THE TOUCHDOWN OF THE AIRCRAFT.
