Amplification

If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is

imminent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing. As forced

landings on unprepared surfaces are not recommended, CAPS

activation may be the safest option. Refer to Section 10, Cirrus

Airframe Parachute System (CAPS) for CAPS deployment scenarios

and landing considerations.

When determined that a forced landing is the safest option, a suitable

field should be chosen as early as possible so that maximum time will

be available to plan and execute the forced landing. While gliding, be

aware that use of flaps will reduce glide distance. Flaps should not be

selected until landing is assured. Land on the main gear and hold the

nose wheel off the ground as long as possible.
