If available, life preservers should be donned and life raft should be
prepared for immediate evacuation upon touchdown.
Consider unlatching a door prior to assuming the emergency
landing body position in order to provide a ready escape path.
It may be necessary to allow some cabin flooding to equalize pres-
sure on the doors. If the doors cannot be opened, break out the
windows with the egress hammer and crawl through the opening.

The pitch trim spring cartridge is attached directly to the elevator
and provides a backup should you lose the primary elevator
control system. Set elevator trim for a 80 KIAS approach to
landing. Thereafter, do not change the trim setting until in the
landing flare. During the flare, the nose-down moment resulting
from a power reduction may cause the airplane to hit on the nose-
wheel. At touchdown, bring the power lever to idle.
