If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is
imminent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing. As forced
landings on unprepared surfaces are not recommended, CAPS
activation may be the safest option. Refer to Section 10,
Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
for CAPS deployment scenarios
and landing considerations.
When determined that a forced landing is the safest option, a suitable
field should be chosen as early as possible so that maximum time will
be available to plan and execute the forced landing. While gliding, be
aware that use of flaps will reduce glide distance. Flaps should not be
selected until landing is assured. Land on the main gear and hold the
nose wheel off the ground as long as possible.
