Emergencies
6.1 Engine Failure Before Take-Off (aborted takeoff)
Close throttle, apply brake, switch off.
6.2 Engine Failure After Take-Off (EFATO)
Lower nose, to establish an approach speed of at least 52 kn CAS [
IAS] land straight ahead or near to straight ahead, DO NOT ATTEMPT
TO TURN BACK from below 500ft.
6.3 Engine Failure In Flight
Lower nose, maintain 47 kn CAS [
IAS] the minimum sinking speed.
If it is required to glide a distance to the nearest suitable field then 57
kn CAS [ IAS] will give the best glide speed, fly a little faster in a
head wind to maximise distance and a little slower with a tail wind.
Select a landing site, make emergency radio call if time permits, as
time permits check for possible reasons for engine failure and attempt
re-start (e.g. ignition switches, fuel cock, lack of fuel pressure), if field
is flat land into wind, otherwise uphill. Use brakes as appropriate.
6.4 Engine Fire in Flight
Close fuel cock, Switch off electric fuel pump , open throttle fully, make
emergency call if time permits, when engine stops turn off mag
switches and master, treat as engine failure in flight. Vacate aircraft as
soon as possible after landing.
6.5 Fire in the cockpit
Switch off electric fuel pump, all other electrical devices (not the
ignition unless there is an engine fire also), close heater vent, open
fresh air vents, land immediately and vacate the aircraft.
6.6 Emergency Landing on Water
Try to land into wind with as high a nose-up attitude as possible.
Before impact, pilot and passenger must be prepared to release their
harnesses, it may also be beneficial to release the doors before impact.
If wearing lifejackets, do not inflate them until outside the aircraft.
Note that it is very hard to judge height above water.
