Precautionary landing
A precautionary landing is generally carried out in the cases where the pilot may be
disorientated, the aircraft has no fuel reserve, or where bad weather or poor visibility
present severe flight hazards.
1.
Determine wind direction. Choose a suitable landing area.
2.
Make a PAN PAN call on the radio and report your position & intentions.
3.
Fly at 500 AGL into wind over the right-hand side of the chosen area with flaps
extended one notch 15deg at a speed of 65 knots to thoroughly inspect the area. Pay
particular attention to electricity or telephone cables running across the landing area;
these are often difficult to see.
4.
Fly a tight circuit around the field
5. Fly at 300 AGL into wind over the right-hand side of the chosen area with flaps
extended by two notches 30deg at a speed of 65 knots to inspect the surface of the
field.
6.
Make an approach to land with flaps extended to 50deg full flap
7.
Use a powered approach for a short/soft field landing
8. After stopping the aeroplane turn off all switches and circuit breakers, shut off the
fuel cock, Secure the aircraft, lock the canopy, notify the land owner.
NOTE
Watch the chosen area permanently during precautionary landing
