6 Emergency Procedures
6.1
Emergency Descent
1.
Close the throttle and set mixture Full Forward
2.
Get air speed below 118 kts
3.
Roll into a 45 degree bank, allowing the nose to drop and initiating a descent
4.
Allow the airspeed to stabilize at V
NO
, execute medium bank 90 degree turns
5. Stop the emergency descent no lower than 1000’ AGL and prepare for landing
Instructor’s Note: The primary reason for making an emergency descent in a non-
pressurized aircraft would be engine or cabin fire. While making the descent, the pilot
should make an effort to perform the appropriate non-normal checklist.
(Flap settings and descent speeds may change. Ask your CFI)
