Cirrus SR22 G5 — Emergency Procedures

Engine Failure on Takeoff — Before or At Liftoff engine_failure_before_rotation

Master switch — when clear of runway or stopping areaMEMORYOFF
If airborne with insufficient runway remaining — land straight ahead on available surfaceDO NOT ATTEMPT TURN BACK TO RUNWAY AT LOW ALTITUDE
If the aircraft is airborne and cannot land straight ahead on the runway, consider CAPS if altitude is sufficient per POH. Do not attempt a 180-degree return at low altitude.

NOTEConsider CAPS deployment if unable to reach a suitable landing surface and altitude allows. CAPS is the preferred outcome over an uncontrolled off-airport landing in unsurvivable terrain.

WARNINGCAPS IS A LAST-RESORT AND IN CERTAIN EMERGENCY SCENARIOS THE PREFERRED OPTION. Deploy without hesitation when the aircraft cannot be controlled, when terrain precludes a survivable landing, or when the pilot becomes incapacitated. All numeric deployment envelope limits (minimum altitude, airspeed) come from the POH — not this file.
