SECTION 6 : Emergency procedures
6-1 Engine failure - Emergency landing
6-1.1 : Before take-off, when taxiing
- throttle down
- brake
- cut off engine ignition
6-1.2 : During take-off
-set airspeed at 100 km/h
- land straight ahead; only minor course changes should be made, to avoid obstacles.
- do not attempt to fly back to the runway: more often than not, you do not have enough
height above ground to do so safely.
6-1.3:In flight
Note: the ultralight flight being operate always considering this possibility, you must be
close to a possible landing ground.
- check to see if the engine did not stop because of inadvertent action on:
- engine ignition switch
- throttle
- fuel shut off
- try to use the emergency fuel pump (black bulb) or start the electric fuel pump (if fitted)
- airspeed: 100 km/h (you get 10 points of fineness)
- look for a suitable landing field
- seatbelts tight, helmets secured
- if you have enough altitude, flying down wind will allow to cover a greater distance,
increasing your chances of finding a suitable field.
- If the field is flat, land into the wind
- if the ground is reasonably level, putting stick forward all the way will shorten your run
- if braking distance is restricted, full rudder into the wind
Note: In a 15 km/h wind (8 knots), the energy to be absorbed by the brakes will be 2,5
higher landing downwind than upwind.
- brake hard
6-2 Fire
6-2.1 : Engine fire
- close the fuel shut off (if fitted)
- stop the electric pump if it is on (if fitted)
- open full throttle
- cabin heating: off (if fitted)
- if possible, ask for help on the ground (fire brigade)
- land as soon as possible
