CLOSED IMMEDIATELY [ ] Brakes [MEMORY] ............ APPLY FIRMLY TO STOP ON REMAINING RUNWAY [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ....................................... IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Magneto / ignition switch [MEMORY] .............................. OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] If unable to stop on runway, steer to minimize hazard; avoid populated areas and fuel sources ENGINE FAILURE AFTER LIFT-OFF [EMERGENCY] ------------------------------------------ [ ] Airspeed [MEMORY] ........ BEST GLIDE — ESTABLISH IMMEDIATELY PER POH ** CAUTION: Do not attempt to turn back to the runway at low altitude. Land approximately straight ahead or with small heading changes to avoid obstacles. [ ] Landing area — select best available surface ahead within the glide [MEMORY] ... SELECTED [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] ............................................ CLOSED [ ] Mixture ........................ IDLE CUT-OFF when landing is assured [ ] Ignition switch ......................... OFF when landing is assured [ ] Master switch .................................. OFF before touchdown ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT [EMERGENCY] ------------------------------------- [ ] Airspeed [MEMORY] ........ BEST GLIDE PER POH — ESTABLISH IMMEDIATELY [ ] Landing area — identify best suitable field or airport within gliding range [MEMORY] ... SELECTED; PATTERN TO IT PLANNED [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] ... BOTH — confirm handle fully seated in detent [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ............................................... RICH [ ] Carburetor heat [MEMORY] ... ON — apply to clear possible carburetor ice [ ] Magnetos — cycle LEFT, then RIGHT, then BOTH [MEMORY] ... CHECK FOR DEAD MAGNETO; RETURN TO BOTH OR OPERATING POSITION [ ] Primer ........................................ CONFIRM IN AND LOCKED [ ] Throttle — attempt restart if propeller is windmilling ... ADVANCE FROM IDLE; ATTEMPT RESTART [ ] Transponder ............................................. SQUAWK 7700 [ ] Mayday call — current frequency or 121.5 MHz ... POSITION, ALTITUDE, INTENTIONS TRANSMITTED [ ] If restart not achieved, commit to forced landing — do not delay the transition to forced landing procedure ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT [EMERGENCY] ---------------------------------- [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ...... IDLE CUT-OFF — cut fuel to engine immediately [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Throttle [MEMORY] ... FULL OPEN — help exhaust residual fuel from the system [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] ..... OFF — remove electrical ignition sources [ ] Cabin heat and all air vents [MEMORY] ... CLOSE ALL — prevent fumes and smoke from entering cabin [ ] Airspeed — increase as practical to aid in extinguishing flames ... INCREASED WITHIN STRUCTURAL LIMITS [ ] Land immediately at the nearest suitable area — do not delay to troubleshoot ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND [EMERGENCY] ---------------------------------- [ ] Throttle — advance briefly to full to draw flames back into the engine through the induction system [MEMORY] ... FULL MOMENTARILY [ ] Mixture [MEMORY] ....................................... IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Fuel selector [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Magneto / ignition switch [MEMORY] .............................. OFF [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] .......................................... OFF [ ] Evacuate the aircraft immediately; move well clear upwind [ ] Use fire extinguisher only if the fire can be safely attacked without entering the hazard zone ELECTRICAL FIRE / SMOKE IN COCKPIT [EMERGENCY] ----------------------------------------------- [ ] Master switch [MEMORY] ... OFF — remove electrical power from all circuits [ ] Avionics master [MEMORY] ........................................ OFF [ ] All individual switches [MEMORY] ................................ OFF [ ] Cabin vents [MEMORY] ... OPEN — ventilate to clear smoke from cockpit [ ] If fire has subsided — master switch ON; restore switches one at a time to identify faulty circuit; leave faulty circuit OFF ... FAULTY CIRCUIT ISOLATED AND LEFT OFF [ ] Transponder — squawk 7700 if avionics are restored ............. 7700 [ ] Land as soon as practicable — do not delay landing after any cockpit fire or smoke event LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------- [ ] Oil pressure indication [MEMORY] ... CONFIRM — distinguish gradual decline from sudden loss [ ] Oil temperature [MEMORY] ... MONITOR — rising temperature with falling pressure confirms oil system distress [ ] Power [MEMORY] ... REDUCE TO MINIMUM REQUIRED; PLAN IMMEDIATE LANDING [ ] Landing area — identify nearest suitable airport or field; begin descending toward it ... SELECTED; DESCENDING [ ] Mayday call — advise ATC of situation ... DECLARED ON CURRENT FREQUENCY OR 121.5 MHz ** CAUTION: An engine with no oil pressure can seize without warning. Do not continue flight or delay landing. CARBURETOR ICE [ABNORMAL] -------------------------- [ ] Recognition — unexplained RPM loss, rough running, or power loss; particularly in visible moisture or suspect temperature range [MEMORY] ... SUSPECTED CARBURETOR ICE [ ] Carburetor heat [MEMORY] ... FULL HOT — apply immediately; do not cycle on and off [ ] Engine response — expect initial further RPM drop as ice melts; smooth return of RPM and power confirms ice was present ... MONITOR FOR RECOVERY [ ] Carburetor heat — leave ON until icing conditions are exited and normal operation is confirmed ... REMAIN ON AS REQUIRED [ ] If engine does not recover, declare emergency and initiate forced landing without delay FORCED LANDING (POWER-OFF) [EMERGENCY] --------------------------------------- [ ] Airspeed [MEMORY] ....... BEST GLIDE PER POH — ESTABLISH AND MAINTAIN [ ] Landing area — select largest available flat surface, preferably into wind; avoid terrain, wires, and populated areas [MEMORY] ... SELECTED [ ] Mayday call — position, altitude, souls on board, intentions [MEMORY] ... TRANSMITTED ON CURRENT FREQUENCY OR 121.5 MHz [ ] Transponder ............................................. SQUAWK 7700 [ ] Approach — fly a recognizable pattern to the chosen field; preserve altitude margin; do not undershoot ... PATTERN TO SELECTED FIELD [ ] Flaps — deploy as needed to manage touchdown point and energy ... AS REQUIRED FOR FIELD LENGTH [ ] Fuel selector — OFF on short final .............................. OFF [ ] Mixture — IDLE CUT-OFF on short final .................. IDLE CUT-OFF [ ] Magneto / ignition switch — OFF on short final .................. OFF [ ] Master switch — OFF on short final .............................. OFF [ ] Doors — unlatch before touchdown to prevent jamming and ease evacuation ... UNLATCHED [ ] Touch down at minimum sink rate; aim for far end of available landing area to maximize rollout distance
