Beechcraft Baron 58 — Emergency Procedures

Engine Failure on Takeoff — Before or At Liftoff Throttles — both CLOSE IMMEDIATELY Brakes — apply firmly to stop within remaining runway BRAKES APPLIED Mixtures — both IDLE CUTOFF Ignition switches — both OFF Fuel selectors — both OFF Master switch OFF In a light twin, a turnback to the runway after an engine failure at low speed and altitude is rarely survivable. If airborne with insufficient runway remaining, land straight ahead or within a narrow arc on the best available surface. Occupants — advise to brace for impact if a ground roll stop is not possible BRACE

Engine Failure in Flight — Identify / Verify / Feather / Secure The identify-verify-feather-secure sequence is fundamental to twin-engine operations. Dead foot = dead engine: the failed engine is on the same side as the foot that is not pressing the rudder. Confirm before feathering. Airspeed — immediately establish and maintain at or above Vmc; target Vyse (blue line) to optimise climb or minimise sink AT OR ABOVE VMC; TARGETING VYSE PER POH Identify failed engine — note which foot is applying rudder to maintain directional control; failed engine is on the same side as the idle rudder foot FAILED ENGINE IDENTIFIED Verify failed engine — retard the suspect throttle slightly; confirm no change in power or yaw tendency FAILURE CONFIRMED ON IDENTIFIED ENGINE Failed engine propeller — feather by pulling the failed engine's propeller control to the FEATHER detent FEATHERED; WINDMILLING STOPS Bank toward operating engine — establish a shallow bank per POH toward the good engine to assist rudder in maintaining directional control SLIGHT BANK TOWARD GOOD ENGINE Failed engine fuel selector OFF Failed engine mixture IDLE CUTOFF Failed engine ignition switch OFF Failed engine boost pump OFF Operating engine — verify full power; fuel selector, mixture, boost pump, and magnetos on FULL POWER; ALL SYSTEMS CONFIRMED ON Drag — landing gear up, flaps up, failed engine cowl flap closed DRAG MINIMISED Altitude and terrain — assess single-engine climb or descent capability versus terrain and obstacle clearance TERRAIN CLEARANCE CONFIRMED OR LANDING AREA SELECTED Squawk and declare — transponder 7700; advise ATC of engine failure and intentions 7700 SET; ATC NOTIFIED

Engine Failure After Takeoff — Airborne Airspeed — pitch immediately to maintain Vmc or above; Vyse (blue line) is the target climb speed AT OR ABOVE VMC; VYSE PER POH Identify failed engine — dead foot / dead engine IDENTIFIED Failed engine — complete the identify / verify / feather / secure sequence SEQUENCE COMPLETE Landing gear — retract if not already up GEAR UP Flaps — retract if extended FLAPS UP Single-engine climb — if terrain and performance permit, continue to a safe altitude for return and landing; otherwise land ahead CLIMBING OR LANDING AREA SELECTED ATC — advise of emergency; request priority handling NOTIFIED

Engine Fire in Flight Affected engine throttle CLOSE Affected engine mixture IDLE CUTOFF Affected engine fuel selector OFF Affected engine propeller FEATHER Affected engine ignition switch OFF Affected engine boost pump OFF Airspeed — increase if fire persists; airflow may help extinguish or carry flame away from airframe AIRSPEED INCREASED PER POH IF FIRE CONTINUES If fire extinguishes — secure engine; proceed to nearest suitable airport; advise ATC ENGINE SECURED; ATC NOTIFIED If fire does not extinguish — prepare for emergency landing; squawk 7700; brief occupants to brace FORCED LANDING INITIATED

Engine Fire on Ground Throttle — affected engine CLOSE Mixture — affected engine IDLE CUTOFF Fuel selector — affected engine OFF Ignition switch — affected engine OFF Master switch OFF Fuel selectors — all remaining OFF Occupants — evacuate via pilot door and cabin entry door; move upwind of aircraft ALL OCCUPANTS EVACUATED AND CLEAR Fire extinguisher — if available and fire is small, discharge through cowling openings from upwind EXTINGUISHER USED OR NOT AVAILABLE Emergency services — call for assistance; do not re-enter the aircraft SERVICES NOTIFIED

Electrical Fire / Smoke in Cockpit Master switch OFF Avionics master switch OFF All electrical switches — switch off individually to isolate the source SWITCHED OFF ONE BY ONE Vents and fresh air — open pilot air vents to clear smoke from cockpit VENTS OPEN; SMOKE CLEARING If fire is out and source is isolated — leave offending circuit off; restore minimum essential electrical power MINIMUM ESSENTIAL POWER RESTORED Land as soon as practicable — declare emergency; advise ATC DIVERTING; ATC NOTIFIED

Loss of Oil Pressure Oil pressure gauge — verify low reading and cross-check oil temperature for a corroborating rise LOW PRESSURE CONFIRMED; OIL TEMP TREND NOTED Affected engine power — reduce to minimum required to maintain level flight or a controlled descent POWER REDUCED Land as soon as possible — a confirmed zero oil-pressure reading means engine failure is imminent; do not delay DIVERTING TO NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT If engine seizes or fails — execute identify / verify / feather / secure sequence MULTI-ENGINE FAILURE CHECKLIST INITIATED ATC — advise of emergency and intentions; request priority handling ATC NOTIFIED

Forced Landing — Power-Off Airspeed — establish best glide speed per POH to maximise glide range BEST GLIDE PER POH Landing area — choose the best available field, road, or surface within gliding distance; commit early FIELD SELECTED Mayday — squawk 7700; transmit position and situation on 121.5 MHz or last assigned frequency MAYDAY BROADCAST; 7700 SET Restart attempt — if altitude permits, attempt restart per engine-failure-in-flight checklist ATTEMPTED OR NOT PRACTICAL Fuel selectors — both OFF ON FINAL APPROACH Mixtures — both IDLE CUTOFF ON FINAL APPROACH Ignition switches — both OFF ON FINAL APPROACH Master switch — leave on until flaps are set and gear decision is made, then off OFF BEFORE TOUCHDOWN Landing gear — extend if a prepared surface is assured; consider gear-up for soft field or obstacle clearance DOWN (HARD SURFACE) OR UP (SOFT OR OBSTACLE) PER CONDITIONS Seat belts and shoulder harnesses — all occupants TIGHTENED; OCCUPANTS BRACED Doors — crack open to prevent jamming on impact UNLATCHED BUT HELD CLOSED

Gear Unsafe / Abnormal Gear Indication Airspeed — reduce to gear extension speed range; avoid overstressing gear doors BELOW GEAR EXTENSION SPEED PER POH Landing gear handle — cycle up then down; allow full travel and listen for gear actuation CYCLED; RESULTS NOTED Gear circuit breaker — check that gear system breaker is not tripped; reset once if tripped BREAKER CHECKED; RESET IF TRIPPED If normal extension fails — proceed to emergency gear extension checklist EMERGENCY EXTENSION INITIATED ATC — advise of gear problem; request low pass for tower gear verification if available ATC NOTIFIED; TOWER VERIFICATION REQUESTED

Emergency Gear Extension Airspeed — reduce to gear extension speed or below per POH before activating emergency system BELOW GEAR EXTENSION SPEED PER POH Gear handle DOWN Emergency gear extension handle or CO2 lever — locate and activate per POH procedure ACTIVATED PER POH Gear-down indication — verify three green lights illuminate after extension THREE GREEN CONFIRMED If only partial indication — assume unsafe; advise ATC; consider belly landing or gear-up landing PARTIAL INDICATION; ATC NOTIFIED After an emergency gear extension, retraction is generally not possible. Plan for landing at the nearest suitable airport.

Single-Engine Approach and Landing Failed engine — confirm feathered and secured before initiating approach FEATHERED AND SECURED Operating engine — full power available; mixture rich, fuel selector on best tank, boost pump on, magnetos on BOTH OPERATING ENGINE CONFIRMED FULLY SERVICEABLE Airspeed — fly approach at single-engine approach speed per POH; higher than normal approach speed accounts for reduced go-around margin SINGLE-ENGINE APPROACH SPEED PER POH Flap extension — use minimum flap consistent with field length; excess flap dramatically degrades single-engine go-around performance MINIMUM NECESSARY FLAP PER CONDITIONS AND POH Landing gear — extend when landing is assured; delay as long as practical to preserve single-engine go-around option GEAR DOWN; THREE GREEN CONFIRMED Stabilise early — single-engine approaches require a long, stable final; do not attempt a steep or rushed approach STABILISED ON FINAL ATC — advise of single-engine approach; request emergency services standing by ATC NOTIFIED; SERVICES REQUESTED Plan to land long if uncertain — it is better to roll off the far end than to attempt a go-around from too low or too slow TOUCHDOWN POINT SELECTED

Engine-Out Go-Around An engine-out go-around is extremely hazardous at low altitude. Commit to landing whenever possible. Initiate only if a safe landing cannot be made and climb performance is assured. Operating engine — full power immediately; smooth application to avoid loss of directional control FULL POWER; DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAINTAINED Pitch — immediately establish climb attitude; maintain Vyse (blue line) per POH; remain above Vmc VYSE ATTITUDE; AIRSPEED AT OR ABOVE VMC Rudder — full rudder toward operating engine; use all available rudder to counter yaw RUDDER APPLIED TOWARD GOOD ENGINE Flaps — retract to takeoff position immediately on first increment FLAPS TO TAKEOFF SETTING Landing gear — retract after positive climb is established GEAR UP Flaps — retract fully after obstacle clearance and positive climb confirmed FLAPS UP ATC — advise of engine-out go-around; declare emergency if not already declared ATC NOTIFIED; EMERGENCY DECLARED
