Forced Landing and Precautionary Landing

Question 1

Engine Failure checklist:

Answer 1

Speed - lower the nose to best glide speed and trim

Field - Select field, check wind, undershoot and overshoot, take note of high key low key points

Fault - Change fuel tanks, check fuel pump, full rich mixture, check magnetos, mixture full rich and carb heat.

Com - Mayday call 121.5, squawk 7700.

Briefing - Open and lock doors, stow loose articles, take up brace position on command

Flap - set flap

Final - Fuel selector-off, mixture cut-off, mags-off, master-off.

Question 2

Method(A) For the forced landing:

Answer 2

Our goal is to be on a close base leg at 1 000ft

Question 3

Method(B) for the forced landing which is called the low and high key technique:

The low key should be -

The high key should be -

Our close base must be at a height of -

Answer 3

at 1500ft abeam the aiming point

at 2500ft over the upwind “threshold” of the selected field

1 000ft

Question 4

The pilot should be very careful when turning base and final with(or without) an engine failure. The reasons and bank angle limit:

Answer 4

1. Stall speed increases with bank angle
2. Rate of descent increases with bank angle.

The bank angle should be limited to 15°- 20°

Question 5

During a forced landing, flap should only be added?

Answer 5

Once you are certain that you can make the aiming point

Question 6

Precautionary Landing:

The number of circuits to be flown before attempting to land -

Answer 6

3

Question 7

Precautionary Landing:

Define the goal and actions of each circuit -

Answer 7

1st circuit: Fly over desired field at 1 000ft. The goal is to note landmarks and magnetic headings.

2nd Circuit: Fly over desired field at 500ft. The goal is to examine the field surface flying slightly to the right. Take note of obstacles, fences, wires, rocks, animals etc.

3rd circuit: Make a final approach as if you are planning to land, fly over field at 100ft and make a final examination.
