2. Accelerate to at least 160 mph and
3. Raise the flaps.
It is recommended that the inexperienced pilot practice single engine landing by completely closing one
throttle and setting the corresponding propeller lever to the DECREASE RPM (full rear) position. With this
procedure the throttles engine
NOTE: TURN'S CAN BE MADE.SAFELY IN EITHER DIRECTION AS LONG AS
AIRSPEED IS HELD CONSTANT ABOVE CRITICAL SINGLE ENGINE SPEED, AND
AIRPLANE PROPERLY TRIMMED.
1. Secure radio clearance for emergency landing.
2. Turn aileron control booster OFF to conserve hydraulic power for landing gear and flap operation.
3. Start approach allowing 1,000 feet above field for each two miles away.
4. Extend landing gear at 160 mph.
NOTE: Allow more time for landing gear and flap extension when only one engine is operating.
5. Extend flaps to MANEUVER position at l40 mph.
6. Reduce power carefully as needed.
7. Neutralize rudder tab.
8. Continue approach at not less than 120 mph.

(4) FURTHER INFORMATION
(a) At rated power, 44"
Hg. 2,600 rpm, the airplane will barely hold altitude with landing gear extended and
flaps up.
(b) With landing gear extended the airplane will not hold altitude at any flap extension.
(c) Things to avoid:
1. Extension of landing gear or flaps except when necessary for landing.
2. Acceleration throttle rapidly from reduced power to full power.
3. Low flat approaches with landing gear and flaps fully extended attempting to drag the
airplane into the field with power. The technique should be developed to be always
