6.6 DITCHING
It is a good tendency to not fly any single engine aircraft outside of gliding distance to a safe
landing area. New reliability in engine and higher cruising speeds has sent many pilots venturing
over mountains, forests, cities, large bodies of water and snow without consideration for
emergency landings.

a) Radio-transmit MAYDAY on 121.5 MHz giving location and intentions.
b) Heavy objects: Secure or jettison
c) Approach:
High winds heavy seas: into wind
Light winds and swells: parallel to swells
d) Power:
Establish 200ft/min. descent at 80km/h – flaps 30°
e) Canopy:
Unlatch (if applicable)
f) Touch down: Tail low attitude at 200 ft/min. descent
g) Face:
Cushion protected at touch down with coat or pad
h) Airplane:
Evacuate
2. Water landing without power
SAME AS ABOVE EXCEPT
a) Set up descent at best glide speed – 140 km/h flaps up
b) Level out just above water – flaps 30°
c) Burn off excess speed and land at minimum speed
