- fuel valves CLOSED
- brakes AS REQUIRED
Precautionary landing should be preferred instead of emergency landing. When engine vibration or engine
roughness is presented, do not wait until the engine stops and instead perform a precautionary landing.
Precautionary landing is also used when a fuel exhaustion is imminent. This should not happen when proper
flight preparation is performed. Always perform a precautionary landing before all fuel is consumed, emergency
landing following the loss of power is more complicated and more risky.
Also, consider a precautionary landing when bad weather is encountered. Again, it should not happen when
proper flight planning is done. When the cloud base is forcing you to fly in low altitude and/or visibility is limited,
try to reverse course to avoid bad weather area. If the conditions are not getting better or even are deteriorating,
perform a precautionary landing before the conditions get even worse. Under no circumstances depart VFR
and fly into IFR conditions - it would be illegal and highly dangerous.
7.7 Landing with blown-out tire
- carry out normal approach-to-land
- when flaring at landing, keep the damaged wheel above ground as long as possible using ailerons (or
elevator for the nose wheel)
- maintain the direction upon landing run, applying rudder
7.8 Landing with a damaged landing gear
- carry out a normal approach-to-land
- if the main landing gear is damaged, perform touch-down at the lowest speed possible and maintain
direction upon landing, if possible
7.9 Vibrations or other engine problem
If any unusual or forcible vibrations appear in the aircraft, it is necessary:
- to set engine speed to such power setting where the vibrations are the lowest
- to land on the nearest airfield, or to perform a precautionary landing off-airfield
- if the vibrations are increasing, carry out an emergency landing off-airfield, following procedures given
under 7.2.2
If the oil pressure reduces during a flight, an engine failure is probable. Reduce the engine power and
execute a nearest airfield or precautionary landing before the engine failure occurs.
7.10 Inadvertent icing encounter
- carburetor heating ACTIVATE
- throttle INCREASE above normal cruise settings
- course REVERSE or ALTER as required to avoid icing
EVASIVE ACTION SHOULD BE INITIATED IMMEDIATELY
WHEN ICING CONDITIONS ARE ENCOUNTERED
A prompt action must be taken immediately once icing conditions are encountered. A 180° turn and a
climb is usually appropriate. If the airframe ice builds extremely rapidly, consider off-airport forced landing.
Approach speed should be increased depending upon icing severity.
7.11 Extreme turbulence encounter
- airspeed REDUCE to 85 MPH
- safety belts SECURED
- loose objects SECURED
