POWER OFF LANDING

If loss of power occurs at altitude, trim the airplane for best gliding angle

(70 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 62 KIAS* or 67 BIAS** 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. It the engine is not

running, continue cranking with the starter. This is an attempt to draw the
fire back into the engine.
