Amplified Emergency Procedures; Engine Failure - Cessna SKYCATCHER 162 Pilot's Operating Handbook And Flight Training Supplement

CESSNA SECTION 6
MODEL 162 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
GARMIN G300

AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

The following Amplified Emergency Procedures provide additional
information beyond that in the Emergency Procedures Checklists
portion of this section. These procedures also include information not
readily adaptable to a checklist format, and material to which a pilot
could not be expected to refer in resolution of a specific emergency.
This information should be reviewed in detail prior to flying the airplane,
as well as reviewed on a regular basis to keep pilot's knowledge of
procedures fresh.

ENGINE FAILURE

If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, stop the airplane on
the remaining runway. Those extra items on the checklist will provide
added safety after a failure of this type.
If an engine failure occurs immediately after takeoff, in most cases, the
landing should be planned straight ahead with only small changes in
direction to avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom
sufficient to execute the 180° gliding turn necessary to return to the
runway. The checklist procedures assume that adequate time exists to
secure the fuel and ignition systems prior to touchdown.
After an engine failure in flight, the most important task is to continue
flying the airplane. The best glide speed, as shown in Figure 6-1,
should be established as quickly as possible. While gliding toward a
suitable landing area, an effort should be made to identify the cause of
the failure. If time permits, an engine restart should be attempted as
shown in the checklist. If the engine cannot be restarted, a forced
landing without power must be completed.
