RV-12 PILOT'S OPERATING HANDBOOK
LANDING EMERGENCIES
PRECAUTIONARY LANDING APPROACH
A precautionary landing approach should be used whenever
power is still available but a complete power failure is
considered imminent. Maintain a higher and closer pattern
than normal in attempt to remain in gliding distance of the
intended touchdown point. Use the normal landing
procedures in addition:
Airspeed
– 60 kts recommended (55 kts minimum)
Throttle
– CLOSED when in gliding distance of runway
Flaps
– LOWER AS NEEDED to increase approach
descent angle
NOTE
Slipping the aircraft by cross controlling the rudder and
ailerons will increase the rate of descent both with or
without flaps. If a crosswind exists, place the lower wing
into the wind.
