3.3.2 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF
3.3.2.1 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF RUN
If sufficient runway/strip/waterway is available, lower the nose and come
to a complete stop in a controlled manner. If there are obstacles in the
path of the aircraft a slight change in heading may be made to line up on
the most suitable area that is safe until aircraft slows down especially on
water.
3.3.2.2 ENGINE FAILURE IMMEDIATELY AFTER TAKEOFF
If the altitude above ground is low, make an immediate plan for finding a
landing point to which a slow but controlled landing can be made with least
impact of the fuselage. Do not try to return to the runway unless there is
enough altitude to work with and a clear approach can be made. Consider
the effect of the wind, as a downwind landing will likely be made. If
possible, shut off the fuel supply valve and master switch. Once a safe
landing is assured, do not try to restart the engine, simply execute the
landing.
