IDLE CUTOFF [ ] Ignition [MEMORY] ............................................... OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF ** CAUTION: Do not attempt to continue the takeoff after an engine failure below a safe maneuvering altitude. A straight-ahead landing or controlled stop is nearly always the correct choice.

IDLE CUTOFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] .............. FULL OPEN — TO EXHAUST FUEL IN LINES [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Cabin heat and air vents [MEMORY] ...... CLOSED — PREVENT SMOKE ENTRY [ ] Airspeed — increase to POH-specified diving speed to blow out fire if appropriate ... AIRSPEED INCREASED PER POH; SIDESLIP AWAY FROM FIRE [ ] Emergency descent — begin immediately toward nearest suitable landing area ... DESCENT INITIATED; SQUAWK 7700 [ ] Land as soon as possible — proceed to Forced Landing checklist ... NEAREST SUITABLE AREA SELECTED; FORCED LANDING INITIATED ** WARNING: An engine fire is an immediate threat. Land as soon as possible. Do not delay to troubleshoot or restart. ENGINE FIRE ON THE GROUND [EMERGENCY] -------------------------------------- (Fire at engine during start or ground operation) [ ] Throttle — continue cranking to draw fire back into engine if fire during start [MEMORY] ... CRANKING WITH THROTTLE OPEN AND MIXTURE RICH TO CLEAR FUEL [ ] If fire persists — mixture to idle cutoff [MEMORY] ...... IDLE CUTOFF [ ] Ignition switch [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Evacuate aircraft — all occupants exit and move upwind ... AIRCRAFT EVACUATED; UPWIND OF FIRE [ ] Fire extinguisher — use ground extinguisher on cowling if safe to approach ... EXTINGUISHER APPLIED OR EMERGENCY SERVICES CALLED [ ] Emergency services — call 911 or airport fire department ... EMERGENCY SERVICES NOTIFIED ELECTRICAL FIRE / SMOKE IN COCKPIT [EMERGENCY] ----------------------------------------------- (Smoke, burning smell, or visible electrical fire in cockpit or cabin) [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Avionics master [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] All electrical switches [MEMORY] ................................ OFF [ ] Cabin vents and windows — open to ventilate smoke if safe to do so ... SMOKE BEING CLEARED; VISIBILITY MAINTAINED [ ] Fire extinguisher — use dry chemical on source if accessible ... EXTINGUISHER APPLIED TO SOURCE [ ] If fire extinguished — restore minimum electrical power one switch at a time to identify source ... SWITCHES RESTORED SELECTIVELY; SOURCE ISOLATED [ ] Land as soon as possible — squawk 7700; advise ATC ... NEAREST AIRPORT SELECTED; ATC ADVISED ** CAUTION: If smoke or fire recurs when electrical power is restored, turn master back off and maintain VMC navigation using standby instruments. LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------- (Oil pressure drops below the minimum green arc limit or falls to zero) [ ] Oil pressure gauge — confirm reading and cross-check oil temperature [MEMORY] ... LOW PRESSURE CONFIRMED; OIL TEMPERATURE TREND NOTED [ ] Power — reduce to minimum required for level flight [MEMORY] ... POWER REDUCED TO MINIMUM; MONITORING ENGINE [ ] Land as soon as possible — begin planning immediate descent to nearest suitable airport ... NEAREST AIRPORT IDENTIFIED; DESCENT INITIATED [ ] ATC — declare emergency, advise position and intentions ... SQUAWK 7700; ATC ADVISED [ ] If oil pressure falls to zero — treat as imminent engine failure; establish best glide ... BEST GLIDE AIRSPEED ESTABLISHED PER POH ** CAUTION: Low oil pressure with rising oil temperature indicates serious lubrication failure. The IO-520 will seize rapidly without oil pressure. Do not delay in landing or initiating a forced landing procedure. FORCED LANDING — POWER OFF [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------------- (Engine has failed or must be shut down; landing must be made without engine power) [ ] Airspeed — best glide per POH [MEMORY] ...

FLAPS EXTENDED AS APPROPRIATE FOR APPROACH [ ] Seat belts and shoulder harnesses ................... CONFIRMED TIGHT [ ] Master switch — OFF just before touchdown ........ OFF ON SHORT FINAL [ ] Doors — unlatch before touchdown to prevent jamming ... DOOR UNLATCHED ** CAUTION: If landing on a prepared surface gear-down, leave the gear selector DOWN. If landing gear-up on rough terrain or water, confirm gear selector is UP before touchdown. GEAR UNSAFE / GEAR FAILURE TO EXTEND [EMERGENCY] ------------------------------------------------- (Gear-unsafe light illuminates, or one or more green lights fail to appear after gear-down selection) [ ] Airspeed — slow to below gear operating speed per POH ...

BULBS CONFIRMED FUNCTIONAL OR REPLACED [ ] If gear fails to extend normally — proceed to emergency gear extension procedure ... EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION INITIATED [ ] If gear remains unsafe after emergency extension — advise ATC; plan minimum-damage gear-up landing ... ATC ADVISED; GEAR-UP LANDING PLANNED PER POH GUIDANCE EMERGENCY GEAR EXTENSION [EMERGENCY] ------------------------------------- (Normal hydraulic gear extension has failed; manual emergency extension required) ** CAUTION: Emergency gear extension procedure for the V35B uses a manual hand pump or free-fall mechanism depending on system configuration. Refer to the specific aircraft POH for the correct procedure — the following is a generic framework only. [ ] Airspeed — reduce to below emergency gear extension speed per POH ... AIRSPEED AT OR BELOW LIMIT PER POH [ ] Gear selector — place in DOWN position ................ SELECTOR DOWN [ ] Emergency gear release or hand pump — locate and activate per POH ... EMERGENCY RELEASE ACTIVATED OR HAND PUMP OPERATED PER POH [ ] Gear position indicator — check for three green after emergency extension ...

EMERGENCY SERVICES REQUESTED; LANDING APPROACH PLANNED [ ] Land with minimum side load; avoid hard landing to prevent gear collapse ... SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN; DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAINTAINED
