CESSNA SECTION 3 -EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
MODEL 182T FAA APPROVED
After an engine failure in flight, the most important course of
action is to continue flying the airplane. The best glide speed, as
shown in Figure 3-1, should be established as quickly as possible.
While gliding toward a suitable landing area, an effort should be
made to identify the cause of the failure. If time permits, an engine
restart should be attempted as shown in the checklist. If the engine
cannot be restarted, a forced landing without power must be
completed.
