DITCHING
(1)
Plan approach into wind, if winds are high and seas
are heavy.
With heavy swells and light wind, land
parallel to swells, being careful not to allow wing
tip to hit first.
(2)
Approach with landing gear retracted, wing flaps
350, and enough power to maintain approximately 300
ft/min. rate-of-descent at approximately 93 KIAS at
4600 pounds gross weight.
(3)
Maintain a continuous descent until touchdown, to
avoid flaring and touching down tail-first, pitch-
ing forward sharply, and decelerating rapidly.
Strive for initial contact at fuselage area below
rear cabin section (point of maximum longitudinal
curvature of fuselage).
