June 9 Ground School - Emergency Procedures

Emergency Procedures, very important concepts

The ABC's of engine failure-

Airspeed 65-70 kias (full gross weight)
Best Landing area - field, road
Checklist items (if time):


carb heat
note wind direction and veolcity
fuel selector/gauges
mixture-fullrich
prime and lock
magnetos
master switch on
try to restart

Failure to Restart:
seatbelts
Best glide
7700 xpndr
declare emergency, mayday mayday mayday
Fuel Selector off
mixture full lean
master and mags off
unlatch doors
fly the plane!

On Takeoff
throttle idle
apply brakes
retract flaps
fuel selector
mixture full lean
master and mags off

turn no more than 60 degrees on each side

There are really only two rules of flying

1. Keep in under control
2. Don't hit anything

The greatest cause of fatalities in general aviation is continued VFR flying into worse weather conditions.
