SECTION IV CHEROKEE " E "
When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral pattern
around this field. Try to be at 1000 feet above the field at the
downwind position, to make a normal approach. Excess altitude may
be lost by widening your pattern, using flaps or slipping, or a
combination of these.
Touchdown should normally be made at the lowest possible
airspeed, with full flaps.

1. Ignition - Off
2. Master Switch - Off
3. Fuel Selector - Off
