PRE-TAKEOFF BRIEFING
Engine Failure Action
If an engine failure or fire occurs prior to rotation, I will abort. If not enough runway to
stop turn master switch off, fuel selectors off, avoid obstacles, and evacuate aircraft.
If an engine fails after rotation with the
gear down
and usable runway remaining, I will
close throttles, land, and stop.
Think, “Stop, stop, stop.”
If an engine failure occurs after rotation with the
gear up,
I will perform the IN FLIGHT
