NOTEIf altitude and distance to selected site permit, try to set up a normal landing pattern. If that's not possible, take what you can get. Regardless of whether or not a full pattern can be set up, make sure the approach results in a landing parallel to any furrows in the selected field.
4. If time permits, try to correct the problem
5. If still have time communicate
Emergency Landing Without Engine Power forced_landing
1. Fly the airplane
2. Prepare aircraft for landing

Precautionary Landing With Engine Power forced_landing
1. Fly the airplane
NOTEFly over field noting terrain and obstructions then retract flaps upon reaching a safe altitude and airspeed.
2. Prepare airplane for landing
3. Landing
Ditching ditching
1. Prepare for ditching
NOTEGive location, situation and intentions. Note, if you were already communicating with ATC, report situation to controller, as opposed to using 121.5.
2. Fly the airplane
3. 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.
If Engine Starts
If Engine Fails to Start
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 (108 KIAS/124 MPH) and VNE (145 KIAS/166 MPH).
Electrical Fire In Flight electrical_fire
1. Extinguish Fire
2. 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.
2. Cockpit
NOTEAirworthiness certificate; Registration; Radio station license; Operating limitations (POH); Weight/loading data.
3. Cockpit - Night Flights
NOTEWalk around plane and visually check to see that all are operating.
NOTEVisually check from outside if not dark enough to see that it's on from inside the cockpit.

Cold Weather Starting With or Without Pre-Heat engine_start
1. Before Starting
NOTEBrief passengers on use of belts/harnesses and requirements for wearing them.
2. Starting Engine
NOTEWith ignition switch off and throttle closed, prime the engine two to four strokes (up to seven without pre-heat) as the propeller is being turned by hand. Use heavy primer strokes for best atomization of fuel.
NOTEIf doing this by yourself, tie the plane down securely and set parking brake, in case engine starts.
NOTETreat 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.
3. Perform steps 3 and 4 on normal start checklist
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.
2. Engine Run-up
NOTERPM drop should not exceed 125 RPM on either magneto. RPM difference between magnetos should not exceed 50 RPM.
NOTEOil pressure/Temperature. Ammeter - Create electrical load with landing light. Make sure no more than needle width deflection.
Normal Takeoff and Climb Procedures takeoff
NOTERPM - 2600 (Top of green arc); Oil Pressure - In the green; Oil Temperature - In the green; Suction - In the 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.
NOTERPM - 2600 (Top of green arc); Oil Pressure - In the green; Oil Temperature - In the green; Suction - In the 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 in high density altitude takeoff where the climb would be marginal with the flaps at 10°.
NOTERPM - 2600 (Top of green arc); Oil Pressure - In the green; Oil Temperature - In the green; Suction - In the 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.
After Takeoff Checklist after_takeoff

Normal Approach and Landing Procedures approach
1. Pre-Landing (Downwind) check
2. Approach and Landing
NOTEUnder 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 for landing. Use minimum flap setting possible for cross wind 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.
