NOSE WHEEL RETRACTED
If the nose wheel fails to extend, proceed as follows:
1.
Make a normal landing
2.
Secure engine at touchdown
3.
Hold a nose-high attitude to allow speed and engine rpm to diminish
4.
Trim elevator full aft
NOSE GEAR TIRE FAILED
If nose wheel tire is flat, make a normal landing and hold nose off as long as
possible. Use brakes sparingly after nose wheel is on the ground.
MAIN GEAR TIRE FAILED
1.
If a main wheel tire is flat, land on the side of the runway nearest the
inflated tire. Hold flat tire off as long as possible. If brakes are necessary,
brake mainly with the wheel that has the inflated tire.
2.
If both main tires are flat, make normal landing in center of runway.
EMERGENCIES AND IRREGULARITIES AT HIGH
ALTITUDES
CABIN DECOMPRESSION
Cabin decompression is defined as the inability of the aircraft’s pressurization
system to maintain its designed pressure schedule. Decompression can be
caused by a malfunction of the system itself or by structural damage to the
aircraft. Decompression will often result in cabin fog because of the rapid drop in
temperature and the change in relative humidity. Decompression will also affect
the human body. Air will escape from the lungs through the nose and mouth
because of a sudden lower pressure outside of the lungs. Differential air
pressure on either side of the eardrum should clear automatically. Exposure to
windblast and extremely cold temperatures are hazards the human body may
face with a decompression.
