FORCED LANDINGS

Forced Landing with engine power remaining:
a. Maintain 107 MPH IAS and once landing area is assured, apply full flaps
b. Select a safe area to dump hopper if possible. Dump the hopper load and
move the control stick forward as the dump is made to control nose pitch-
up.
Forced Landing with Engine Failure, proceed as time and altitude permits with LIQUID in
Hopper:
a. Dump hopper load by opening hopper gate.
b. Feather prop to extend glide.
c. If a re-start is to be attempted, proceed with Air-Start procedures as
described herein.
d. Maintain 90 to 100 MPH IAS and look for suitable landing area.
e. If landing is to be made on road with a strong cross-wind, leave flaps
retracted.
f. If landing in open field, extend flaps and maintain at least 80 MPH IAS until
flare for landing.
g. Turn Fuel Valve OFF once air-start procedure is abandoned.
h. Pull Fuel Condition Lever to CUT OFF position.
i. All Switches OFF
j. Open both canopy doors during approach.
Forced Landing with Engine Failure, proceeding as time and altitude permits with DRY
SOLIDS in Hopper:
a. Open hopper gate to reduce weight as much as possible.
b. Feather prop to extend glide.
c. Maintain 107 MPH IAS if gross weight is high.
d. Tighten seat belt.
e. Turn Fuel Valve OFF once air-start procedure is abandoned.
f. Pull Fuel Condition Lever to CUT OFF position.
g. All Switches OFF.
h. Open both canopy doors during approach.
i. Extend full flaps during flare for landing.
A liquid filled hopper will empty faster than a dry solid filled
hopper. Maintain speed as time and altitude permits, until hopper
is empty.
