NOTE
If
engine failure
was caused by fuel exhaustion,
power will not be regained after tanks
are
switched
until empty fuel lines
are filled,
which
may
require up
to ten seconds.
If power
is not
restored,
proceed
with
POWER
OFF
LANDING procedures.

LANDING
If
loss of
power
occurs at altitude,
trim the
aircraft for best gliding
angle (80
MPH
IAS)
(Air Cond.
Off)
and look
for
a
suitable
field.
If
measures
taken to restore power are not
effective,
and if
time permits,
check
your
charts
for airports in the immediate vicinity, it
may
be
possible
to land at
one
if
you
have
sufficient
altitude.
If possible,
notify
the FAA
by
radio of
your
difficulty
and
intentions. If
another
pilot or
passenger is
aboard,
let them
help.
When you have located
a
suitable
field,
establish
a
spiral pattern
around
this field. Try to be
at
1000 feet
above the
field
at
the
downwind position,
to
make
a normal approach.
Excess altitude
may
be
lost by widening your pattern,
using flaps
or slipping,
or
a
combination of these.
Touchdowns
should
normally
be made
at
the lowest possible
airspeed, with full
flaps.
