Columbia 400 (LC41-550FG) Emergency Procedures

SPIN RECOVERY
1. Throttle ⎯ IDLE
2.
Rudder ⎯ FULL AGAINST THE SPIN
3. Elevator ⎯ FULL FORWARD
4.
Ailerons ⎯ FULL AGAINST THE SPIN
5.
Wing Flaps ⎯ RETRACT
6. Flight Action ⎯ When rotation stops, neutralize controls, then pull out of steep dive to
achieve normal attitude. Pulling out of the dive will produce 2 to 3 g’s and airspeeds up to 160
KIAS.
WARNING
Recovery from a spin may require up to one additional turn with normal
use of controls for recovery.
WARNING
If a steady state spin is entered, holding the recommended recovery
inputs of power idle, rudder full against the spin, elevator full forward
and aileron full against the spin will produce the fastest recovery. When
recovering from a steady state spin, the aircraft may exceed the typical
one turn recovery time, and additional turns may be experienced until the
aircraft recovers from the spin.
INADVERTENT ICING
1. Detection⎯ CHECK SURFACES (The stall strips and wing cuffs are good inspection points
for evidence of structural icing.)
2.
Pitot Heat and Propeller Heat ⎯ ON
3.
Course ⎯ REVERSE COURSE
4. Altitude ⎯ CHANGE (To a level where the temperature is above freezing.)
5.
Defroster ⎯ Divert all heated air to the defroster.
6.
Propeller Control ⎯ INCREASE (Higher propeller speeds will mitigate ice accumulation.)
7. Manifold Pressure ⎯ MONITOR (A drop in manifold pressure may be an indication of
induction icing; increase throttle settings as required.)
8.
Heated Induction Air ⎯ ON (Operate if induction icing is evident or suspected.)
9. Alternate Static Source ⎯ (Open if static source icing is evident or suspected.)
10.
Flight Characteristics ⎯ ADD MARGIN OF SAFETY (An ice buildup on the wings and
other surfaces will increase stalling speeds. Add a margin to approach and landing speeds.)
11.
Approach Speed ⎯ Appropriate for the amount of ice accumulation and flap setting. If there
is a heavy ice buildup on the windshield, a gentle forward slip or small S-turns may improve
forward visibility by allowing use of the side windows.
12.
Landing Attitude⎯ LIMITED FLARE (Land at a higher speed and in a flat attitude sufficient
to prevent the nose wheel from touching the ground first.)
WARNING
When flying in areas where inadvertent icing is possible, i.e., areas of
visible moisture that are not forecasted to have icing conditions, turn on
the pitot heat at least five minutes before entering the areas of visible
moisture.
LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN GEAR TIRE
1. Approach ⎯ NORMAL
2. Wing Flaps ⎯ LANDING POSITION
