Beechcraft Bonanza V35B — Emergency Procedures

Engine Failure on Takeoff — Before or At Liftoff Throttle CLOSE IMMEDIATELY Brakes — apply firmly to stop on remaining runway MAXIMUM BRAKING; STAY ON RUNWAY Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Ignition OFF Master switch OFF 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.

Engine Failure After Takeoff — Low Altitude Pitch — lower nose immediately to maintain airspeed above stall PITCH FOR BEST GLIDE OR Vx PER POH; DO NOT STALL Landing area — select straight-ahead or slight turn only BEST AVAILABLE AREA SELECTED; AVOID STEEP TURNS Throttle FULL — CONFIRM FAILURE IS REAL Mixture RICH Fuel selector SWITCH TANK IF TIME PERMITS Landing gear — extend if landing is committed and runway is ahead GEAR DOWN IF SUITABLE SURFACE AVAILABLE; GEAR UP FOR SOFT-FIELD FORCED LANDING At low altitude, time is the critical factor. Fly the aircraft first. Checklist use is secondary to maintaining airspeed and establishing a landing attitude.

Engine Failure in Flight — Altitude Available Airspeed — establish best glide speed per POH immediately BEST GLIDE SPEED ESTABLISHED PER POH Landing area — identify and begin planning approach SUITABLE AREA SELECTED; POSITION NOTED Throttle FULL FORWARD — ATTEMPT RESTART Mixture RICH Fuel selector SWITCH TO ALTERNATE TANK Ignition switch BOTH — CONFIRM BOTH MAGS SELECTED Primer (if equipped) IN AND LOCKED Throttle — attempt restart with starter if altitude permits STARTER ENGAGED; MIXTURE ADVANCED AS ENGINE FIRES If restart unsuccessful — declare emergency SQUAWK 7700; ADVISE ATC OF POSITION AND INTENTIONS If restart unsuccessful — proceed to Forced Landing checklist FORCED LANDING PROCEDURE INITIATED

Engine Fire in Flight Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Fuel selector OFF Throttle FULL OPEN — TO EXHAUST FUEL IN LINES Master switch OFF Cabin heat and air vents 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 An engine fire is an immediate threat. Land as soon as possible. Do not delay to troubleshoot or restart.

Engine Fire on the Ground Throttle — continue cranking to draw fire back into engine if fire during start CRANKING WITH THROTTLE OPEN AND MIXTURE RICH TO CLEAR FUEL If fire persists — mixture to idle cutoff IDLE CUTOFF Ignition switch OFF Master switch OFF Fuel selector 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 Master switch OFF Avionics master OFF All electrical switches 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 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 Oil pressure gauge — confirm reading and cross-check oil temperature LOW PRESSURE CONFIRMED; OIL TEMPERATURE TREND NOTED Power — reduce to minimum required for level flight 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 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 Airspeed — best glide per POH BEST GLIDE ESTABLISHED; MAINTAIN UNTIL SHORT FINAL Landing area — select field considering wind, obstacles, and surface FIELD SELECTED; INTO-WIND OR SLIGHT CROSSWIND ACCEPTABLE Squawk 7700 and advise ATC of position 7700 SET; POSITION AND INTENTIONS BROADCAST Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Fuel selector OFF Ignition switch OFF Master switch — leave ON until flare to retain flaps and gear ON UNTIL SHORT FINAL Landing gear — extend when landing is assured and field surface is suitable GEAR DOWN FOR HARD OR FIRM SURFACE; CONSIDER GEAR UP FOR SOFT FIELD OR WATER Flaps — extend as needed to control glide path 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 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 Airspeed — slow to below gear operating speed per POH AIRSPEED WITHIN GEAR EXTENSION LIMIT Gear selector — cycle UP then DOWN CYCLED; CHECK INDICATOR LIGHTS Gear position indicator — check all three lights LIGHTS CHECKED; IDENTIFY WHICH GEAR IS UNSAFE Circuit breakers — check gear-related circuit breakers BREAKERS CHECKED; RESET IF POPPED (ONCE ONLY) Gear-unsafe light — verify it is not a bulb failure by pressing press-to-test 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 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 THREE GREEN CONFIRMED OR NOT — NOTE RESULT Fly-by or tower visual check if any doubt about gear position TOWER OR AIRCRAFT VISUAL CONFIRMATION OBTAINED If gear cannot be confirmed down — plan landing with emergency services standing by EMERGENCY SERVICES REQUESTED; LANDING APPROACH PLANNED Land with minimum side load; avoid hard landing to prevent gear collapse SMOOTH TOUCHDOWN; DIRECTIONAL CONTROL MAINTAINED
