The gliding air speed of 74 KIAS (flaps up) and 65 KIAS (flaps 20°)
delivers minimum loss of altitude in a given time. Over a distance of
1.6NMthelossofaltitudeis1000ft.
With sufficient altitude and after selection of a suitable field, a spiral
pattern should be attempted around the selected field. In this way, a
series of correction possibilities are available in order to complete a
preciselandingatthechosenpointwithoutenginepower.
While descending, if radio contact is available, notify the
corresponding ground station of your difficulty, location and
intentions. Excessaltitude may be lost by widening the pattern, using
flaps,side-slipping,oracombinationofthese.
At no time should the airspeed reduce below the stalling speed for
the configuration setting. Note: This speed increases by
increasing the angle of bank of the aircraft. See section 5, Fig. 5-4
“StallingSpeed“.
In order to contact the ground at the lowest possible speed, flaps
should be full extended just before landing and the speed should be
65KIAS.
WARNING !

Check the fuel valve is in ON position, and the fuel quantity in the
wing tanks is sufficient. By examining the engine parameters, it is
usually possible to determine the cause of the power loss and rectify
thesituation.
As soon as the engine power is restored, and if the failure cause was
