Precautionary landing
A precautionary landing is generally carried out in cases where the pilot
may be disorientated, the aircraft has no fuel reserve or possibly in bad
weather conditions.
1. Choose landing area, determine wind direction.
2. Report your intention to land and the landing location via radio.
3. Perform a low altitude pass into wind, over the right-hand side of
the selected area, with flaps extended as required and thoroughly
inspect the landing area.
4. Perform a circuit pattern.
5. Perform approach at increased idle with flaps fully extended.
6. Reduce power to idle when flying over the runway threshold and
touch-down at the very beginning of the selected area.
7. After stopping the aircraft switch off all switches, shut off the fuel
selector, lock the aircraft and seek assistance.
NOTE
Keep the chosen area in sight during
precautionary landing.
