Emergency Procedures

Question 1

Engine Failure Below Vr

Answer 1

Throttle - Idle (to prevent power increases/surges)

Brakes - As Required (stop the aircraft)

Engine - Shutdown If Necessary

 - Mixture - Idle/Cut-off
 - MAG Switches - Off
 - EMERG BATT Switch - Off
 - BATT MASTR Switch - Off

Question 2

Engine Failure Above Vr

Answer 2

Airspeed - Maintain Safe (speed that allows for landing)

Landing - Straight Ahead

Engine - Shutdown if Necessary

 - Throttle - Idle
 - Mixture - Idle/Cut-off
 - MAG Switches - Off
 - BATT MASTR Switch - Off
 - ALTR Switch - Off
 - Fuel Selector - Off

Question 3

Engine Failure During Flight

Answer 3

Airspeed - Maintain 76 KIAS (Best glide)

Fuel Selector - Switch Tanks (Fuel starvation could have started it)

Fuel Pump Switch - On (Lack of fuel pressure could have started it)

Mixture - Rich (A lean mixture could cause fuel starvation could cause it)

Alternate Air - Open (Induction icing may have caused the engine failure )

Engine Instruments - Check (Check for an indication for the cause of power loss, could be oil)

Magneto Switches - Check (Makes sure each magneto is firing)

Question 4

Power-Off Landing

Answer 4

Airspeed - Maintain 76 KIAS (best glide)

Place to Land - Pilot Option (Select a place to land ASAP, unless unsafe, do not change your mind)

Cabin & Passengers - Prepare (Ensure all seats up, seat belts are on, unlatch the cabin door in the event of a rough landing)

IF TIME AND ALTITUDE PERMIT:

Transponder - 7700 (Emergency squawk code)

Radio - Transmit (“MAYDAY MAYDAY MAYDAY” state position, altitude, persons on board, and intentions on 121.5 [to get to this frequency automatically, hold down the switch function on the comms])

ELT - On (transmits emergency signal)

Engine - Shutdown (reduce chance of fire)

 - Throttle - Idle
 - Mixture - Idle/Cutoff
 - MAG Switches - Off
 - BATT MASTR Switch - Off
 - ALTR Switch - Off
 - Fuel Selector - Off

Question 5

Engine Fire During Start

Answer 5

Starter - Continue cranking (draw fuel into cylinders)

Mixture - Idle/Cutoff (stop fuel flow)

Throttle - Full Open (increase airflow)

Fuel Pump Switch - Off (Turn off FUEL PUMP to stop fuel flow)

Fuel Selector - Off (isolate fuel tanks from fire)

IF PERSISTS:
- Leave the A/C and try to extinguish the fire

Question 6

Engine Fire In Flight

Answer 6

Fuel Selector - Off (Switch off to isolate from fire)

Throttle - Closed (assists with engine shutdown)

Mixture - Idle/Cut-off (stops fuel flow)

Fuel Pump Switch - Off (stops fuel flow)

Heat & Defroster - Off (prevent fumes from entering the cabin)

Airspeed - Increase (try to blow out the fire)

IF PERSISTS, DO EMERGENCY DESCENT

Question 7

Electrical Fires In Flight

Answer 7

Emergency Battery Switch - Verify ARM

Battery Master Switch - Off

Alternator Switch - Off

Vents - Open (provide fresh airflow to cabin)

Heat & Defroster Controls - Off (prevent fumes coming into cabin)

Fire - Extinguish (use fire extinguisher to stop fire)

IF PERSISTS, DO EMERGENCY DESCENT

Question 8

Spin Recovery

Answer 8

Rudder - Full Opposite to Direction of Rotation (use turn coordinator to determine)

Control Wheel - Full Forward & Ailerons Neutral (break stall, aileron use will aggravate the spin)

Throttle - Idle (Reduce throttle to assist in lowering the nose)

Rudder - Neutral (when rotation stops)

Control Wheel - Smooth Back Pressure (recover from the dive)

Throttle - As Required (Increase throttle for cruise flight)

Question 9

Emergency Descent

Answer 9

Throttle - Idle (allows for steepest angle of descent without building speed)

Mixture - Rich (prevent lean condition during descent)

Bank - 45 degrees (allows the pilot to have steepest rate of descent while maintaining positive load factors on the a/c)

Fuel Pump Switch - On (To ensure positive fuel flow during descent)

Airspeed - Do not exceed 125 KIAS (allowing for maximum air flow)

Rollout - Pilot Option (rollout when safe)
