Carb heat ON, Reduce power to 1700 (will drop to 1600)
Full flaps once below 89 kts
Carb heat OFF when < 70 kts
Back pressure to maintain height until 55 kts or stall horn
Check forward (but keep nose above horizon)
Full power
Wings level (done correctly, should not lose altitude)
Reduce flaps to one notch
Once IAS > 70 kts, fully retract flaps
Power-on Stall (no flaps)
Power-on Stall:
Carb heat ON, Reduce power to 1700 (will drop to 1600)
Carb heat OFF when < 70 kts
Back pressure to maintain height until 55 kts or stall horn
Check forward (but keep nose above horizon)
Full power
Wings level (done correctly, should not lose altitude)
Reduce flaps to one notch
Once IAS > 70 kts, fully retract flaps
Wing Drop Stall
Carb heat ON, Reduce power to 1700 (will drop to 1600)
Full flaps once below 89 kts
Carb heat OFF when < 70 kts
Back pressure to maintain height until stall…
Check forward
Opposite rudder
Full power
Aileron neutral until unstalled
Reduce flaps to one stage
Climb back to reference height
Once IAS > 70 kts, fully retract flaps
Rate 1 Turn
At cruise, AoB about 16° so wings are on lines on TC. AoB can be approximated by TAS / 10 plus 7.
Medium Turn
30° AoB, back pressure to maintain altitude. Speed will fall off somewhat.
Steep Turn
45° AoB. Coordinate rudder with ailerons.
Increase power by about 150 RPM to maintain altitude.
Maintain moderate back pressure to maintain altitude.
Anticipate roll out to wings level, coordinate rudder w/ Aileron, reduce power.
Precautionary Landing
(Reasons)
Lost.
Running out of fuel or daylight.
Poor or deteriorating visibility.
Best to avoid this whole situation by careful pre-flight planning and by choosing to turn back or divert early.
Precautionary Landing
(Process)
Be aware of wind. Passenger briefing and security.
PAN PAN call and squawk 7700. Consider ELT if outcome looks marginal.
SADIE check.
Low visibility configuration. Power to 1900. One stage flaps once below 89kt. Speed to 75kt, power back to 2100. Carb heat OFF. Power and attitude to maintain altitude and speed.
Identify landing site.
Initial inspection at 500’ AGL, into wind w/ landing site on the left of the aircraft. Note heading of landing direction.
Downwind assess spacing with landing site on left outboard flow strip.
Note turning point reference.
Extend base leg past centre-line, descend to not less that 200’, close inspection of landing site for stumps, large stones, etc.
At 2/3rds down the landing site, climb back to 500’.
Continue to downwind leg, site turning point.
Brief passenger, secure harnesses, prepare for short-field landing.
Forced Landing w/o Power
Check forward
Carb heat ON
Close throttle
Set attitude and trim for 70kts (best glide)
Assess wind direction
Select landing site using 7 Ss, C and E
Size, Shape, Slope, Surface, Surrounds, Stock, Sun
Communication & Elevation
Make a plan
Select aiming point 1/3 of the way into the field
Choose 1500’ area and 1000’
Trouble Checks - FMIP
Fuel ON, Pump ON, SWITCH tanks
Mixture RICH, Carb heat ON, Primer LOCKED
Ignition - BOTH, check L, check R
Power - Partial Power Check (engine warming)
Switch to FISCOM (124.2 in LFZ L663), MAYDAY call, squawk 7700
Passenger Briefing and Secure harnesses and hatches.
“James, we’re going make a forced landing in that padock down there. Make sure your seatbelt is as tight as it can go. After we land, we’re going to exit the plane and meet at that shed over there.
Execute pattern. FMI shutdown.
Low-Viz Configuration
Carb heat OFF, power back to 1900 RPM
One stage of flaps once below Vfe (89 kts)
Speed to 75 kts
Power to 2100 RPM, Carb heat OFF
Power and attitude to altitude and 75 kts
Coastal Reversal Turn
Need to turn back, no horizon at sea, high terrain along coast.
Keep the coast in sight throughout the seaward turn, then track back along coast.
Turn 45º away from the coast, keeping the coast in sight.
Continue away from coast until sufficient distance to complete turn back.
Start with 45º AoB (steep turn) back toward coast, then reduce AoB if not required to complete turn.
Restricted terrain reversal turn
(Obstacle Avoidance Turn)
Following a line feature…
Drift DOWNWIND at 45º, keeping the line in sight
Turn back INTO the wind, completing the turn with the feature on the LEFT.
Crosswind approach and landing
On approach, crab the airplane into the wind to track straight and maintain balance.
During round out, apply smooth rudder to align nose and aileron to keep plane tracking down the centreline.
Windward wheel touches down first. Other wheel will lower shortly thereafter.
Center the rudder and lower the nose.
Increase aileron into the wind as speed decreases.
Crosswind taxi
Dive away from tailwind.
Climb into headwind.
Crosswind takeoff
Aileron fully deflected into the wind. Elevator neutral or slightly down.
During takeoff roll, reduce aileron, maintain some weight on the nose.
At safe flying speed, rotate with ailerons neutral to avoid skidding.
Gentle balanced turn into the wind to maintain climb-out path aligned with runway.
Adjust reference point to maintain wings level, balance, and straight track on climb out.
Short field takeoff
Flaps (one stage)
