DA 62 AFM
Abnormal Operating
Procedures
4B.1 PRECAUTIONARY LANDING
NOTE
A landing of this type is only necessary when there is a
reasonable suspicion that due to operational factors such as
fuel shortage, weather conditions, etc. the possibility of
endangering the airplane and its occupants by continuing the
flight cannot be excluded. The pilot is required to decide
whether or not a controlled landing in a field represents a
lower risk than the attempt to reach the nearest airfield under
all circumstances.
NOTE
If no level landing area is available, a landing on an upward
slope should be sought.
1. Select appropriate landing area.
2. Consider wind.
3. Approach:
If possible, the landing area should be overflown at a suitable height in order to
recognize obstacles. The degree of offset at each part of the circuit will allow the
wind speed and direction to be assessed.
