Mooney M20J 201 — Emergency Procedures

Engine Failure on Takeoff — Before or At Liftoff Throttle CLOSE IMMEDIATELY Brakes — apply firmly to stop within remaining runway APPLY MAXIMUM BRAKING Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Ignition switch OFF Master switch OFF Fuel selector OFF Do not attempt to remain airborne if the engine fails at or near liftoff. The M20J does not climb on partial power from low speed. Land on available runway or surface ahead. If briefly airborne — land straight ahead on remaining runway or overrun; do not turn back WINGS LEVEL; LAND AHEAD Occupants ALERT TO BRACE

Engine Failure After Takeoff — Airborne, Low Altitude Airspeed — establish best glide immediately BEST GLIDE PER POH Landing area — select nearest suitable surface ahead within glide; do not attempt to return to runway below safe altitude SELECTED; COMMITTED TO LANDING AHEAD Throttle FULL — brief restart attempt if altitude permits Fuel selector BOTH Mixture FULL RICH Ignition switch BOTH — confirm ON; try START if engine has stopped If engine does not restart — secure and commit to forced landing FOLLOW FORCED LANDING CHECKLIST Gear — extend only when landing is assured on the chosen surface; if surface is marginal, consider leaving gear retracted DOWN WHEN COMMITTED; OR GEAR UP FOR ROUGH TERRAIN

Engine Failure in Flight Airspeed — establish best glide BEST GLIDE PER POH Landing area — identify a reachable field or airport within glide range SELECTED; TRACKING TOWARD IT Fuel selector BOTH — or switch to fuller tank Mixture FULL RICH Throttle FULL — attempt restart Ignition switch BOTH — confirm ON; cycle START if engine is not turning Fuel pump (boost pump) ON — check fuel pressure; look for vapor lock Primer IN AND LOCKED Mayday call — squawk 7700; declare on 121.5 MHz or ATC frequency TRANSMITTED If restart unsuccessful — secure engine and continue to forced landing FOLLOW FORCED LANDING CHECKLIST

Engine Fire in Flight Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Fuel selector OFF Throttle FULL OPEN — to exhaust any residual fuel in the induction system Master switch OFF Cabin heat and vents from engine compartment CLOSED — prevent flame and fumes from entering cabin Airspeed — increase to attempt to extinguish flame with slipstream; do not exceed Vne INCREASE WITHIN LIMITS PER POH If fire persists — initiate emergency descent toward forced landing area DESCEND; BEGIN EMERGENCY APPROACH Mayday — declare on 121.5 or ATC frequency; squawk 7700 TRANSMITTED Prepare for forced landing — follow Forced Landing checklist as able IN PROGRESS

Engine Fire on Ground — During or After Start Throttle — advance and keep cranking with starter to draw fire back into engine CRANK CONTINUOUSLY TO INGEST FIRE On a fuel-injected engine, if the fire is in the induction system, continuing to crank and advance throttle may pull the burning fuel back through. If fire is external to the engine, shut down immediately. Mixture IDLE CUTOFF Ignition switch OFF Fuel selector OFF Master switch OFF Evacuate aircraft — all occupants exit immediately and move upwind EVACUATE IMMEDIATELY Fire extinguisher — direct at base of flame; avoid directing into induction inlet if fire is out APPLY IF AVAILABLE Emergency services CALL IMMEDIATELY

Electrical Fire or Smoke in Cockpit Master switch OFF Avionics master OFF Cabin vents — open to flush smoke; avoid fanning the source OPEN FOR FRESH AIR PURGE All electrical switches — off individually; identify the circuit causing the smoke before restoring power ALL SWITCHES OFF Fire extinguisher — if flame visible, use extinguisher; CO2 or halon preferred for electrical DISCHARGE AT SOURCE IF FLAME VISIBLE Circuit breakers — inspect; do not reset a breaker that has popped due to suspected overload without identifying the cause DO NOT RESET HOT BREAKERS BLINDLY Land as soon as practicable — electrical fires can re-ignite and avionics may be unavailable DIVERT TO NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT Essential avionics — restore one item at a time to navigate if master is safe to restore MINIMUM ESSENTIALS ONLY

Loss of Oil Pressure Power — reduce to minimum required to maintain safe flight REDUCE POWER IMMEDIATELY Land as soon as possible — do not delay; continued operation with low or zero oil pressure risks engine seizure DIVERT IMMEDIATELY Oil temperature — monitor; rising temp with low pressure confirms oil loss WATCH FOR RISING TEMP Mixture FULL RICH — to help cool the engine Nearest airport — identify and begin approach without delay NEAREST AIRPORT SELECTED Mayday — declare if engine condition is deteriorating DECLARE IF WARRANTED If engine begins to run rough or seize — shut down and follow Forced Landing checklist FOLLOW FORCED LANDING CHECKLIST

Induction System Blockage or Fuel System Malfunction The Lycoming IO-360 is fuel-injected and does not have a carburetor. Carburetor icing is not applicable. However, induction icing, vapor lock, or fuel system contamination can cause similar symptoms. Alternate air control (alternate induction air) — open to bypass blocked air filter ALTERNATE AIR OPEN Fuel selector BOTH — or switch to fuller tank Mixture FULL RICH Fuel pump (boost pump) ON — monitor fuel flow for vapor lock Engine instruments — monitor for improvement; if power does not recover, prepare for forced landing MONITOR; DIVERT IF NOT IMPROVING If no improvement — declare emergency and land as soon as possible DECLARE; DIVERT

Forced Landing — Power-Off Airspeed — establish and maintain best glide immediately BEST GLIDE PER POH Landing area — select the best available field within glide range; consider wind, slope, surface, and obstacles SELECTED; TRACKING Mayday — squawk 7700; transmit position, altitude, and intentions on 121.5 MHz TRANSMITTED Restart attempt — fuel selector BOTH, mixture RICH, ignition BOTH, boost pump ON, throttle to full momentarily ATTEMPT IF ALTITUDE AND TIME PERMIT If restart fails: mixture — idle cutoff IDLE CUTOFF Fuel selector OFF Ignition switch OFF when committed to landing Master switch — leave on long enough to lower gear; then OFF before touchdown unless radio needed ON FOR GEAR; OFF BEFORE TOUCHDOWN Landing gear — extend when landing is certain on the chosen field; if surface is rough or soft, consider gear-up landing to reduce injury risk DOWN IF SURFACE SUITABLE; UP IF NOT A gear-up landing on grass or soft ground is often survivable with less occupant injury than a gear-collapse on rough terrain. The POH or POH emergency section should be consulted during training for this decision. Flaps — extend to increase drag and reduce approach speed when field is assured EXTEND FOR FINAL APPROACH Seat belts and shoulder harnesses — all occupants SNUG AND LOCKED Doors — unlatch before touchdown to prevent jamming UNLATCHED Occupants — brief to brace; remove glasses; loosen any items that could become projectiles BRIEFED AND BRACED

Landing Gear Unsafe Indication Airspeed — maintain safe approach speed; do not rush; remain at altitude to troubleshoot MAINTAIN SAFE AIRSPEED AND ALTITUDE Gear handle — confirm in the DOWN position DOWN DETENT CONFIRMED Gear circuit breaker — check; reset once if tripped CHECK IN; RESET IF POPPED Cycle gear — raise and re-select down; allow time for full extension and lock CYCLED; WAITING FOR GREEN Gear warning horn — verify it sounds with throttle at idle (confirms unsafe condition is real, not a bulb failure) HORN CONFIRMS GEAR NOT DOWN If gear will not extend normally — proceed to Emergency Gear Extension checklist PROCEED TO EMERGENCY EXTENSION ATC — advise of gear situation; request emergency services to stand by ATC NOTIFIED; SERVICES REQUESTED

Emergency Gear Extension Emergency gear extension procedures vary between M20J model years and by modification. The following represents a typical procedure. Verify the exact steps for this specific aircraft in its POH before flight. Airspeed — reduce to gear extension speed or below (Vlo) per POH BELOW Vlo PER POH Gear handle — DOWN DOWN Gear circuit breaker — check and reset if popped IN Manual gear extension handle or release — locate and actuate per POH procedure to release hydraulic pressure or mechanical uplock ACTUATED PER POH The M20J uses an electrically-driven hydraulic gear system on most variants. Emergency extension typically involves releasing hydraulic pressure via a manual valve, allowing gravity and airflow to extend and lock the gear. Consult the specific aircraft POH and practice the procedure on the ground. Allow time for gear to fall and lock under gravity and airstream ALLOW FULL EXTENSION Gear position indicators — verify three green THREE GREEN CONFIRMED If only partial green — do not cycle; land gently with known gear configuration; alert fire/rescue LAND WITH AVAILABLE CONFIGURATION; FIRE RESCUE ON STANDBY Approach and landing — fly a normal stabilized approach; do not extend flaps if doing so would reduce gear-locking airflow on some configurations (verify per POH) STABILIZED APPROACH; LAND SMOOTHLY
