• WARNING •
If engine failure is accompanied by fuel fumes in the cockpit,
or if internal engine damage is suspected, move Mixture
Control to CUTOFF and do not attempt a restart.
If a turn back to the runway is elected, be very careful not to
stall the airplane.
If the engine fails immediately after becoming airborne, abort on the
runway if possible. If altitude precludes a runway stop but is not
sufficient to restart the engine, lower the nose to maintain airspeed
and establish a glide attitude. In most cases, the landing should be
made straight ahead, turning only to avoid obstructions. After
establishing a glide for landing, perform as many of the checklist items
as time permits.
