Execution
- IP – power lever to idle “Power up, rudder up, clean up”
- EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN CHECKLIST – Execute
- IP – “Approaching the 180”
- Flaps – As Required
- Gear – Down, Landing checklist
- Start descending left turn to arrive at the “90” at 500’, minimum 110 KIAS
- Continue to “Final” at 250’, minimum of 110 KIAS and maximum of 120 KIAS
- Props – full forward
- IP – “Waveoff”
