EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The emergency landing body position is assumed by placing both hands
on the lap, clasping one wrist with the opposite hand, and holding the up-
per torso erect and against the seat backs.
After the airplane comes to a complete stop, evacuate quickly and move
upwind.
As occupants exit the airplane, the reduced weight may allow winds to
drag the airplane further. As a result of landing impact, the doors may jam.
If the doors cannot be opened, break out the windows. Crawl through the
opening.
3.9 LANDING EMERGENCIES
If all attempts to restart the engine failure and an emergency landing is immi-
nent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing. If flight conditions or
terrain does not permit a safe landing, BPRS deployment may be required.
A suitable field should be chosen as early as possible so that maximum time
will be available to plan and execute the emergency landing. For emergency
landings on unprepared surfaces, use full flaps if possible. Land on the main
gear and hold the nose wheel off the ground as long as possible. If engine pow-
er is available, before attempting an “off airport” landing, fly over the landing
area at a low but safe altitude to inspect the terrain for obstructions and surface
conditions.
NOTE: Use of full (+2) flaps will reduce glide distance. Full flaps should not be
selected until landing is assured.
