OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Canopy — unlatch for emergency egress after stopping [MEMORY] ... UNLATCHED, SLIDE OPEN WHEN STOPPED [ ] Egress — exit aircraft and move clear; notify emergency services if fire or injury ... EVACUATE AND CLEAR ENGINE FAILURE AFTER LIFTOFF [EMERGENCY] ----------------------------------------- [ ] Best glide airspeed — pitch for glide immediately [MEMORY] ... ESTABLISH PER POH [ ] Landing area — select best available surface ahead; avoid turns back to runway at low altitude [MEMORY] ... SELECTED [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] ............................................. CLOSE [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ....................................... IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Ignition switch [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] ................... OFF (when landing assured) [ ] Canopy — unlatch before touchdown for emergency egress [MEMORY] ... UNLATCHED ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT [EMERGENCY] ------------------------------------- [ ] Best glide airspeed — pitch to establish immediately [MEMORY] ... ESTABLISH PER POH [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] ........ BOTH (or opposite tank if imbalanced) [ ] Carburetor heat [MEMORY] ................................... FULL HOT [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] ....... ADVANCE TO DETERMINE IF ENGINE WILL RESPOND [ ] Mixture ........................................................ RICH [ ] Primer ................................................ IN AND LOCKED [ ] Ignition switch — verify on BOTH; try LEFT then RIGHT if no restart ... BOTH (CHECK) [ ] Starter — attempt restart if altitude and conditions permit ... ATTEMPT PER POH RESTART PROCEDURE [ ] If restart unsuccessful — declare emergency; select landing area; initiate forced landing procedure ... MAYDAY DECLARED, FORCED LANDING INITIATED [ ] Squawk 7700 — if transponder accessible and time permits ... 7700 SET ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT [EMERGENCY] ---------------------------------- [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ....................................... IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] .... FULL OPEN (to exhaust remaining fuel in lines) [ ] Ignition switch [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Cabin heat and vents [MEMORY] ... CLOSE ALL (prevent smoke and fumes entering cockpit) [ ] Airspeed — increase to accelerate descent and help extinguish fire; do not exceed VNE ... INCREASE PER POH GUIDANCE [ ] Canopy — unlatch before touchdown; declare emergency; select landing area ... UNLATCHED; FORCED LANDING INITIATED ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND [EMERGENCY] ---------------------------------- [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] ... FULL OPEN MOMENTARILY (to attempt to draw fire back into engine) [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ....................................... IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Ignition switch [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Canopy — open and egress immediately [MEMORY] ... OPEN; EVACUATE AIRCRAFT [ ] Fire extinguisher — use external extinguisher on fire if accessible without personal risk ... APPLY IF SAFE TO DO SO [ ] Emergency services .................... NOTIFY IMMEDIATELY — CALL 911 ELECTRICAL FIRE / SMOKE IN COCKPIT [EMERGENCY] ----------------------------------------------- [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] All electrical switches — radios, lights, avionics [MEMORY] ..... OFF [ ] Cabin vents — open to clear smoke from cockpit [MEMORY] ........ OPEN [ ] Canopy — if smoke is heavy and flight conditions permit, crack canopy for ventilation ... AS REQUIRED FOR SMOKE REMOVAL [ ] If fire is out and smoke clears — selectively restore electrical power one switch at a time to identify fault ... RESTORE SELECTIVELY; ISOLATE FAULT [ ] Land — plan expedited landing at nearest suitable airport; declare emergency if warranted ... LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------- [ ] Oil pressure gauge — verify indication; cross-check with oil temperature for trend [MEMORY] ... LOW PRESSURE CONFIRMED [ ] Throttle — reduce power immediately to decrease engine stress [MEMORY] ... REDUCE POWER [ ] Landing area — identify nearest suitable airport or field [MEMORY] ... NEAREST AIRPORT IDENTIFIED [ ] Squawk 7700 and declare emergency if engine failure imminent or oil temperature rising rapidly ... MAYDAY IF REQUIRED [ ] Engine instruments — monitor closely; be prepared for sudden engine roughness or seizure ... CONTINUOUS MONITORING [ ] Land — do not delay; engine failure without lubrication is imminent ... LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE CARBURETOR ICE [ABNORMAL] -------------------------- [ ] Carburetor heat — apply full hot immediately; do not remove until RPM recovers and then stabilizes [MEMORY] ... FULL HOT — HOLD UNTIL CLEAR [ ] Throttle — avoid closing during heat application; maintain sufficient power to sustain flight ... MAINTAIN SUFFICIENT POWER [ ] RPM — expect a brief further drop as ice melts and water ingests through carburetor; then RPM should rise and stabilize above original indication ... MONITOR FOR RECOVERY [ ] If RPM does not recover — declare emergency; identify nearest landing area; initiate descent ... EMERGENCY DECLARED IF NO RECOVERY [ ] Carburetor heat — once ice is cleared, return to COLD for normal operations; continue to monitor ... COLD WHEN CLEAR; MONITOR CONTINUOUSLY [ ] Conditions — remain alert to icing conditions; apply carb heat preemptively in high-risk conditions per POH guidance ... APPLY PREVENTIVELY IN ICING CONDITIONS FORCED LANDING (POWER-OFF) [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------------- [ ] Best glide airspeed — establish and maintain [MEMORY] ... ESTABLISHED PER POH [ ] Landing area — select best available surface; favor fields with consistent short grass; avoid wires, ditches, and slopes [MEMORY] ... SELECTED [ ] Squawk 7700 and declare MAYDAY on 121.5 MHz or last used frequency ... MAYDAY DECLARED, 7700 SET [ ] Fuel selector ................................................... OFF [ ] Mixture ................................................ IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Ignition switch ....................... OFF (when landing is assured) [ ] Master switch ......................... OFF (when landing is assured) [ ] Canopy — unlatch before touchdown to ensure exit is possible after landing [MEMORY] ... UNLATCHED [ ] Seat belts and shoulder harnesses — all occupants tightened [MEMORY] ... TIGHTENED AND LOCKED [ ] Final approach — align with landing surface; plan for a controlled touchdown at minimum safe airspeed; flaps as appropriate per altitude and POH ... CONFIGURED FOR LANDING
