EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES
ENGINE FAILURE
If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff run, the most important
thing to do is stop the airplane on the remaining runway. Those extra items
on the checklist will provide added safety after a failure of this type.
Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide
attitude is the first response to an engine failure 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 a 180
0
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 best glide speed as shown in figure
3-1 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.
