INTRODUCTION
This section contains procedures that are recommended if an
emergency condition should occur during ground operation, takeoff, or
in flight. These procedures are suggested as the best course of action for
coping with the particular condition described, but are not a substitute
for sound judgement and common sense. Since emergencies rarely
happen in modern aircraft, their occurrence is usually unexpected, and
the best corrective action may not always be obvious. Pilots should
familiarize themselves with the procedures given in this section and be
prepared to take appropriate action should an emergency arise.
Most basic emergency procedures, such as power off landings, are a
normal part of pilot training. Although these emergencies are discussed
herein, this information is not intended to replace such training, but
only to provide a source of reference and review, and to provide
information on procedures which are not the same for all aircraft. It is
suggested that the pilots review standard emergency procedures
periodically to remain proficient in them.
ENGINE POWER LOSS DURING TAKEOFF
The proper action to be taken if loss of power occurs during
takeoff will depend on circumstances.
1. If sufficient runway remains for a normal landing, land straight
ahead.
2. If insufficient runway remains, maintain a safe airspeed and
make only a shallow turn if necessary to avoid obstructions. Use of
flaps depends on circumstances. Normally, flaps should be fully
extended for touchdown.
