EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.4 IN-FLIGHT EMERGENCIES
3.4.1 ENGINE FAILURE AT TAKEOFF (LOW ALTITUDE)
If the engine fails immediately after take-off, abort by landing on the run-
way. If this is not possible and altitude is not sufficient enough to restart the
engine, lower the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide attitude.
In most cases, the landing should be made straight ahead, turning only to
avoid obstructions. After establishing a glide for landing, perform as many of
the checklist items as time permits.
WARNING
: !
! If a turn back to the runway is elected, be very careful not to
stall the airplane.
1 Best Glide or Landing Speed (as appropriate)

5 Flaps AS REQUIRED
If time permits:
1 Throttle Lever IDLE
2 Master Switch OFF
3 Seat Belts ENSURE SECURED
3.4.2 ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT
If the engine fails at altitude, pitch as necessary to establish best glide speed
(130 km/h or 70 kts IAS). While gliding toward a suitable landing area, at-
tempt to identify the cause of the failure and correct it. If altitude or terrain
does not permit a safe landing, BPRS deployment may be required.
