If engine failure is accompanied by fuel fumes in the cockpit,
or if internal engine damage is suspected, move Mixture
Control to CUTOFF and do not attempt a restart.
If the engine fails at altitude, pitch as necessary to establish best glide
speed. While gliding toward a suitable landing area, attempt to identify
the cause of the failure and correct it. If altitude or terrain does not
permit a safe landing, CAPS deployment may be required. Refer to
Section 10, Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
deployment scenarios and landing considerations.
