FORCED LANDINGS
If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is imminent,
I
select a suitable field and prepare for the landing as discussed in the
Emergency Landing Without Engine Power checklist.
Before attempting an "off
airport" landing with engine power available,
on should fly over the landing area at a safe but low altitude to inspect
the terrain for obstructions and surface conditions, proceeding as
1
discussed in the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power checklist.
NOTE
The overhead fuel tank selectors control shutoff valves at
the wing fuel tank outlets. To minimize the possibility of a
fire, these selectors can be set to the OFF position during
I
the final phase of an approach to an "off-airport" landing.
With the selectors turned
OFF,
there is adequate fuel in the
fuel reservoir tank for
3
minutes of maximum continuous
power operation or approximately
9
minutes idle power
operation. A
warnin horn will sound with both fuel
B
selectors turned OFF. I the noise of the warning horn is too
distracting, it can be silenced by pulling the START CONT
circuit breaker.
WARNING
IF THE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING IS ABORTED,
TURN THE FUEL TANK SELECTORS TO THE ON
I
POSITION AFTER INITIATING THE BALKED LANDING.
Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning heavy objects located in
the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of occupants'
faces at touchdown. Transmit Mayday message on 121.5 MHz giving
location and intentions and squawk 7700 if a transponder is installed.
Avoid a landing flare because of difficulty in judging height over a water
surface.
