3.4.4 EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ENGINE
POWER
When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral
pattern around this field. Try to be at 1,000 feet above
the field at the downwind position, to make a normal
approach. Plan your approach for landing at the midpoint
of the runway; aim for the normal touchdown area only
after gliding to the runway is assured.
Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern,
using flaps, slipping, or by using a combination of these
techniques.
If possible, transmit a MAYDAY message on 121.5 MHz
stating location and intentions, and squawk 7700.
Activate the ELT.
Once the landing site is secure and you are committed to
land, apply flaps and reduce speed to 49 mph or 42 knots
(IAS). Close the throttle, move the mixture control to idle
cut-off, shut off the magneto switches, turn the fuel
selector to OFF and turn off the master switch.
WARNING
BE EXTREMELY CAUTIOUS WHEN MANEUVERING
FOR LANDING AT LOW ALTITUDES. MAINTAIN A
SAFE MARGIN ABOVE STALL SPEED. SEE FIGURE
5-2 FOR STALL SPEED VERSUS ANGLE OF BANK.
NOTE
With the master switch off, the instrument, landing, and
navigation lights will not operate.
