FORCED LANDINGS
If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is
imminent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing as
discussed under the Emergency Landing Without Engine Power
checklist. Transmit Mayday message on 121.5 MHz giving location
and intentions and squawk
7700.
Before attempting an "off-airport" landing with engine power
available, one should fly over the landing area at a safe, but low
altitude, to inspect the terrain for obstructions and surface
conditions, proceeding as discussed in the Precautionary Landing
With Engine Power checklist.
Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning heavy objects located
in the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of
occupants' face at touchdown. Transmit Mayday messages on
121.5 MHz giving location and intentions and squawk
7700.
Avoid
a landing flare because of the difficulty in judging height over a
water surface. The checklist assumes the availability of power to
make a precautionary water landing. If power is not available, use
of the airspeeds noted with minimum flap extension will provide a
more favorable attitude for
a
power off ditching.
In a forced landing situation, do not turn off the AVIONICS switch or
MASTER switch until a landing is assured. Premature deactivation
of the switches will disable all airplane electrical systems.
Before completing a forced landing, especially in remote and
mountainous areas, activate the ELT by setting the cockpit-mounted
switch to the ON position. For complete information on ELT
operation, refer to Section
9,
Supplements.
