ENGINE
FAILURE
If an
engine failure
occurs
during the takeoff nrr5
the
most
important
thing to do is
stop
the airplane
on the remaining runway.
Those
extra
items on the checklist
will
provide
added
safety
drring
a fallure
of this
type.
Prompt
lowering
of the
nose
to
maintain airspeed
and
establish
a
glide
attitude is the first
response
to
an
engine failure
after takeoff. In
most
cases,
the
landing
shonld be
planned
straight ahead with only
small
changes
in direction to avoid
obstmctions.
Altitude
and airspeed are
sel-
dom
sufficient
to execute a
180"
gliding
furn necessary
to return
to the
runway.
The checklist
procedures
assume
that adequate
time
exists
to
secure
the
fuel and ignition
systems
prior
to
touchdown.
After
an
engine
failure
in flight, the best
glide
speed
as
shown in
Fig-
ure
3-1 should be established
as
quickly
as
possible.
While
gliding
to-
ward a suitable
landing
area,
an effort
should
be
made to identify
the cause
-
of
the failure.
If
time
permits,
an
engine
restart
should
be
attempted
as
shown
in the
checklist.
If the
engine cannot be restarted,
a forced
landing
without
power
must be completed.
