If the engine fails at altitude, pitch as necessary to establish best
glide speed. While gliding toward a suitable landing area, attempt
to identify the cause of the failure and correct it. If altitude or
terrain does not permit a safe landing, CAPS deployment may be
required. Refer to Section 10,
Cirrus Airframe Parachute System
for CAPS deployment scenarios and landing consider-
ations.
