d86ec07ae2e7dd48284f88271d3c9a4532dc2aaad435ede28f350ab90541513d Contains no airspeeds, power settings, or other numeric limits — all such values must come from the specific aircraft POH/AFM. Emergency checklists must be practiced and the memory items memorized. This file is an aide-memoire only. Aviate first, then navigate, then communicate. Avionics configuration (G1000 vs steam-gauge) affects the information available during emergencies. Verify all procedures against the specific aircraft POH and supplements.

Throttle CLOSE IMMEDIATELY Brakes APPLY FIRMLY — STOP ON REMAINING RUNWAY OR OVERRUN Mixture IDLE CUT-OFF Ignition switch OFF Fuel selector OFF Master switches (battery and alternator) OFF Canopy latch — if aircraft stops; unlatch to facilitate evacuation; exit promptly if fire risk exists UNLATCH, EVACUATE UPWIND

Best glide speed — establish immediately on sidestick; DA40 glides well; do not let airspeed decay BEST GLIDE SPEED PER POH Suitable landing area — identify and turn toward best available option LANDING AREA SELECTED Fuel selector — cycle from current position to opposite tank or BOTH ALTERNATE TANK OR BOTH Mixture RICH Throttle SMOOTHLY ADVANCE; CHECK FOR ENGINE RESPONSE Ignition switch — check on BOTH; cycle if suspect BOTH Primer (if equipped) — verify locked and seated LOCKED Engine instruments — check for loss of oil pressure, high oil temperature, or other indication of cause NOTED AND ACTED ON Restart — if conditions and altitude permit; attempt start per POH; do not persist if no response ATTEMPTED IF SAFE Squawk 7700 — declare emergency on current frequency or 121.5 DECLARED If no restart — proceed with forced landing checklist FORCED LANDING INITIATED

Mixture IDLE CUT-OFF Fuel selector OFF Throttle FULL OPEN (exhaust residual fuel through induction) Master switches (battery and alternator) OFF Airspeed — increase to maximum glide within structural limits to help extinguish fire through airflow AIRSPEED INCREASED PER POH Emergency landing — initiate forced landing immediately; do not attempt restart FORCED LANDING INITIATED Declare emergency — squawk 7700; transmit position and intentions on 121.5 if able DECLARED IF ABLE Canopy — do not open in flight (fire and smoke inhalation hazard); delay until landing and evacuation REMAIN CLOSED UNTIL ON GROUND

Mixture IDLE CUT-OFF Fuel selector OFF Throttle — advance fully open to draw fire back into engine compartment FULL OPEN Ignition switch OFF Master switches OFF Canopy — unlatch and open; evacuate aircraft immediately OPEN; EVACUATE UPWIND Fire extinguisher — direct at base of fire if safe to do so; do not linger near aircraft EXTINGUISHER APPLIED IF SAFE Emergency services — call 911 or airport authority; do not attempt to fly the aircraft CALLED

Master switches (battery and alternator) OFF All electrical switches — avionics, lights, pitot heat, fans OFF Vents / fresh air — increase airflow to dilute smoke; do not open canopy in flight unless specifically directed by POH VENTS OPEN Land as soon as possible — declare emergency; smoke and fumes impair pilot performance rapidly NEAREST SUITABLE FIELD Circuit breakers — if source is identifiable, pull relevant breaker; do not reset a tripped breaker if fire is suspected OFFENDING CIRCUIT ISOLATED IF KNOWN Battery master — may be restored selectively if radio contact is needed for approach; re-evaluate whether smoke resumes RESTORE ONLY IF NECESSARY AND SAFE Squawk 7700 — declare emergency on 121.5 if other comms are lost DECLARED

Oil pressure — confirm indication is abnormally low or zero; cross-check oil temperature for confirming trend CONFIRMED LOW Throttle — reduce to minimum power needed to maintain controlled flight; minimize engine load REDUCE POWER Land immediately — engine failure is imminent if pressure is at or near zero; select best available field now LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE Mixture — enrich if not already; do not lean a potentially overheating engine RICH Declare emergency — squawk 7700; advise ATC of situation and intention DECLARED Engine instruments — monitor CHT and oil temperature for continued degradation; be prepared for sudden seizure MONITORING If oil temperature also rising rapidly — treat as imminent engine failure; do not delay forced landing FORCED LANDING INITIATED

The Lycoming IO-360 installed in the DA40 180 is fuel-injected. It has no carburetor and no carburetor heat system. Carburetor icing cannot occur. If unexplained power loss occurs, refer to the Engine Failure in Flight checklist.

Best glide speed — establish and maintain throughout; the DA40's composite airframe glides efficiently BEST GLIDE SPEED PER POH Landing site — select the best available field considering length, surface, slope, obstacles, and wind direction FIELD SELECTED Squawk 7700 — declare emergency on current frequency or 121.5 DECLARED Fuel selector OFF Mixture IDLE CUT-OFF Propeller — if engine windmilling, consider setting prop full coarse (low RPM) per POH to reduce drag if time permits PER POH GUIDANCE Ignition switch — off when landing is assured OFF Master switches — off before impact to reduce electrical fire risk; leave on until confident landing is achievable OFF BEFORE TOUCHDOWN Canopy latch — UNLATCH prior to touchdown to ensure exit is available after impact; do not open in flight UNLATCHED (NOT OPENED) Seat belts and shoulder harnesses — as tight as possible on all occupants TIGHTENED Flaps — extend per POH recommendation for terrain type; full flaps for short fields, partial for rough terrain PER POH / TERRAIN Touchdown — aim for far edge of field; fly to the ground; do not stall high; T-tail — maintain positive control through flare; be alert for pitch sensitivity near stall CONTROLLED TOUCHDOWN After stopping — canopy open; evacuate aircraft promptly and move upwind away from fuel EVACUATED UPWIND
