NOTE1. Gain all the altitude you can! Pull back (gently) to use the aircraft's momentum to gain altitude until airspeed falls off to the optimum glide speed (65 KIAS - 75 MPH).
4. If time permits, try to correct the problem

Emergency Landing Without Engine Power forced_landing

NOTEFly over field noting terrain and obstructions then retract flaps upon reaching a safe altitude and airspeed.
Ditching ditching
NOTEGive location, situation and intentions. Note, if you were already communicating with ATC, report situation to controller, as opposed to using 121.5.
NOTEIf necessary, open windows to allow cabin to flood to equalize pressure so doors can be opened.

3. Before Taxiing

5. IFR Instrument Checks
Cold Weather Starting Without Pre-Heat before_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 four to ten strokes as the propeller is being turned by hand. Use heavy primer strokes for best atomization of fuel. If doing this by yourself, tie the plane down securely and set parking brake, in case engine starts. 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.
NOTEPerform steps 3 through 5 on normal start checklist
Cold Weather Starting With Pre-Heat before_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. If doing this by yourself, tie the plane down securely and set parking brake, in case engine starts. Treat propeller as if the ignition is on and engine could start.
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.

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.

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.
NOTEAirspeeds: Downwind through base 65 - 75 KIAS (75 - 86 MPH); Final approach 60 - 70 KIAS (70 - 80 MPH); In gusty winds add 1/2 difference between gust and average wind speed to approach speed.
Short Field Landing landing
1. Pre-Landing (Downwind) check
2. Approach and landing
NOTEAirspeeds: Downwind through base 65 - 75 KIAS (75 - 86 MPH); Final approach 60 KIAS (69 MPH); In gusty winds add 1/2 difference between gust and average wind speed to approach speed.
NOTERoundout must be done much faster than usual due to low airspeed.
Soft Field Landing landing
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.
NOTEAirspeeds: Downwind through base 60 - 70 KIAS (69 - 80 MPH); Final approach 55 - 65 KIAS (63 - 75 MPH); In 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.
Post-Landing Checklists after_landing
1. After Landing - Clear of Runway
2. If Hard Landing
