EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.4 INFLIGHT EMERGENCIES
3.4.1 ENGINE FAILURE AT TAKEOFF LOW ALTITUDE
If the engine fails immediately after take-o, abort by landing on the run-
way. If this is not possible and altitude is not sucient enough to restart the
engine, lower the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide attitude.
In most cases, the landing should be made straight ahead, turning only to
avoid obstructions. After establishing a glide for landing, perform as many of
the checklist items as time permits.
WARNING:!!If a turn back to the runway is elected, be very careful not to
stall the airplane.
1 Best Glide or Landing Speed (as appropriate) ESTABLISH
2 Fuel Valve CLOSED
3 MAG L / MAG R Switches OFF
4 Flaps AS REQUIRED
5 Booster pump OFF
If time permits:
1 Throttle Lever IDLE
2
Master BAT & Master GEN
(just before touch down)
OFF
3 Seat Belts ENSURE SECURED
3.4.2 ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT
If the engine fails at altitude, pitch as necessary to establish best glide speed
(64 KIAS). While gliding toward a suitable landing area, attempt to identify
the cause of the failure and correct it. If altitude or terrain does not permit a
safe landing, BPRS deployment may be required.
Best Glide Speed and Best Glide Ratio conditions:
Propeller STOPPED
Flaps 0
