AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES
ENGINE
FAILURE
If
an engine
failure occurs during
the takeoff run,
tho
most important
thing to do is
stop
the airplane on
the remaining
runway.
Thoso extra
items
on
the checklist will
provide
added safety
after a
failure of
this
type.
Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain
airspeed
and establish
a
glide
attitude is
the
first rosponse
to an engine
failure
after
takeoff.
In most
cases, the landing shoutd be
planned
straight
ahead
with only
small
changes in direction to avoid obstructions.
Altitude
and airspeed
are
seldom
sufficient
to
execute
a
180"
gliding
turn
necessary to
return
to the
runwa,y. 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
figure
3-1 should
be established as
quickly
as
possible.
While
gliding
toward
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,
