EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
REVISED: JANUARY 15, 1979
POWER OFF LANDING
If loss of power occurs at altitude, trim the airplane for best gliding angle
(85 KIAS), and look for a suitable landing area. If the procedures for
restoring power are not effective, and if time permits, check charts for
airports in the immediate vicinity; it may be possible to reach one if the
airplane’s altitude is sufficient. If possible, notify the FAA by radio of the
situation and intended course of action. If another pilot or a passenger is
aboard, that person may assist.
After locating the most suitable landing area, establish a spiral pattern
around the field. Try to be at 1000 feet above the field at the downwind
position to make a normal landing approach. When assured of reaching the
field, slow to 72 KIAS for the shortest landing. Excess altitude may be lost
by widening the pattern, extending flaps, slipping, or a combination of these
methods.
Once committed to a landing, shut OFF the ignition, the master switch,
and the fuel selector. Pull the mixture to IDLE CUT-OFF. Tighten seat belts
and shoulder harness.
Flaps may be used as deemed necessary. Normally a full stall
touchdown should be made at the lowest possible airspeed with flaps fully
extended.
3.9 FIRE
ENGINE FIRE DURING START
Engine fires during start are usually the result of overpriming. The first step
in extinguishing the fire is to cut off the source of fuel and to keep the engine
turning to use up excess fuel.
Continue cranking the engine with the starter, while pulling the mixture
control to IDLE CUT-OFF and advancing the throttle fully open. Turn OFF the
electric fuel pump and the fuel selector. Radio for assistance if possible.
If the engine has started, it should be left running. If the engine is not
running, continue cranking with the starter. This is an attempt to draw the fire
back into the engine.
