6. If still have time communicate
Emergency Landing Without Engine Power forced_landing

8. Landing
Precautionary Landing With Engine Power engine_out_landing
NOTEFly over field noting terrain and obstructions then retract flaps upon reaching a safe altitude and airspeed.
9. Prepare airplane for landing

Ditching ditching
1. Prepare for ditching
NOTEGive location, situation and intentions. If already communicating with ATC, report situation to controller rather than using 121.5.
11. Fly the airplane
12. Landing
NOTEIf necessary, open windows to allow cabin to flood to equalize pressure so doors can be opened.
Engine Fire During Start Up engine_fire_ground
NOTEGetting the engine to start will suck flames and accumulated fuel into the engine.

Engine Fire In Flight engine_fire_in_flight
NOTEIf that does not extinguish the fire increase airspeed to that which produces an incombustible mixture. Be aware of critical speeds; VNO (107 KIAS/123 MPH) and VNE (141 KIAS/162 MPH).
Electrical Fire In Flight electrical_fire
1. Extinguish Fire
13. If fire appears to be out and electrical equipment is needed
Cabin Fire cabin_fire
NOTEAfter using fire extinguisher within a closed cabin ventilate the cabin.
NOTEIf needed get gas (AVGAS 100) before proceeding with other fuel tank related items.
NOTEMake sure vent on right wing cap is not blocked.

Cold Weather Starting Without Pre-Heat engine_start
1. Before Starting
NOTEBrief passengers on use of belts/harnesses and requirements for wearing them.
26. Starting Engine
NOTEUse heavy primer strokes for best atomization of fuel. If doing this by yourself, tie the plane down securely and set parking brake. Treat propeller as if the ignition is on and engine could start. Leave primer charged and ready for a stroke.
NOTEThis might take a little time since the engine is cold. If pressure doesn’t come up in about 30 seconds, shut the engine down.
CAUTIONIf engine does not start during the first few attempts, or if engine firing diminishes in strength, it is probable that the spark plugs have frosted over. Pre-heat must be used before another start is attempted.
CAUTIONPumping the throttle may cause raw fuel to accumulate in the intake air duct, creating a fire hazard in the event of a back-fire. If this occurs, maintain a cranking action to suck flames into the engine. An outside attendant with a fire extinguisher is advised for cold starts without pre-heat.

Before Takeoff Checklist before_takeoff
1. Final Cockpit Check
NOTESet attitude indicator to level flight position. Set altimeter to runway altitude or locally reported altimeter setting. Set heading indicator to magnetic compass.
29. Engine Run-up
NOTERPM drop should not exceed 150 RPM on either magneto. RPM difference between magnetos should not exceed 75 RPM.
NOTECheck for RPM drop then back to off.
NOTECreate electrical load with landing light. Make sure no more than needle width deflection.
Normal Takeoff and Climb Procedures takeoff
NOTEEngine Instruments: Check while starting roll — RPM 2600 (top of green arc); oil pressure in green; oil temperature in green; suction in green.
Maximum Performance Takeoff (Short Field) takeoff
NOTETakeoff procedure should be started using ALL available runway. Taxi to end of runway and align with centerline.
NOTEEngine Instruments: Check before starting roll — RPM 2600 (top of green arc); oil pressure in green; oil temperature in green; suction in green.
Soft Field Takeoff takeoff
NOTEIf 10° flaps are used, with obstacles ahead, leave them extended until the obstacle is cleared and at a safe altitude. The exception is high density altitude takeoff where the climb would be marginal with flaps at 10°.
NOTEEngine Instruments: Check as starting roll — RPM 2600 (top of green arc); oil pressure in green; oil temperature in green; suction in green.
NOTEAllow the airplane to lift off as soon as possible (before reaching safe climb speed). Level off at a few feet above the ground and fly in ground effect until reaching normal climb speed.

Normal Approach and Landing Procedures before_landing
1. Pre-Landing (Downwind) check
32. Approach and Landing
NOTEFlaps as desired: under light (less than 10 Knots) wind conditions 10° descending on the end of the downwind leg, 20° on base, and full flaps over the threshold. In heavier winds 20° or less is good flap setting. Use minimum flap setting possible for crosswind landing.
NOTEIn gusty winds add 1/2 difference between gust and average wind speed to approach speed.
Short Field Landing before_landing
1. Pre-Landing (Downwind) check
33. Approach and landing
NOTEFlaps: under light (less than 10 Knots) wind conditions 10° descending on the end of the downwind leg, 20° on base, and full flaps on final.
NOTEIn gusty winds add 1/2 difference between gust and average wind speed to approach speed.

34. Approach and Landing
NOTEFlaps: under light (less than 10 Knots) wind conditions 10° descending on the end of the downwind leg, 20° on base, and full flaps over the threshold. In heavier winds 20° or less is good flap setting. Use minimum flap setting possible for crosswind landing.
NOTEIn gusty winds add 1/2 difference between gust and average wind speed to approach speed.
Balked Landing (Go Around) go_around
NOTEIf more than 20° of flaps were in when the go-around is initiated, retract immediately to 20°. Continue to retract flaps in 10° increments only after establishing a positive rate of climb and reaching a safe altitude.
