EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
FORCED LANDINGS
CESSNA
MODELT210M
If all attempts to restart the engine fail and a forced landing is
imminent, select a suitable field and prepare for the landing as discussed
under the Emergency Landing Without Engine Power checklist.
Before attempting an "off airport" landing with engine power availa-
ble, one should fly over the landing area at a safe but low altitude to inspect
the terrain for obstructions and surface conditions, proceeding as dis-
cussed under the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power checklist.
Prepare for ditching by securing or jettis9ning heavy objects located
in the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of occupants'
face at touchdown. Transmit Mayday message on 121.5 MHz giving
location and intentions. Avoid a landing flare because of difficulty in
judging height over a water surface.
In a forced landing situation, do not turn off the avionics power and
master switches until a landing is assured. Premature deactivation of the
switches will disable the encoding altimeter and airplane electrical sys-
tems.
LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL
Trim for horizontal flight (with an airspeed of approximately 80 KIAS
and flaps set to 20°) by using throttle and trim tab controls. Then do not
change the trim tab setting and control the glide angle by adjusting power
exclusively.
At flareout, the nose-down moment resulting from power reduction is
an adverse factor and the airplane may hit on the nose wheel. Consequent-
ly, at flareout, the trim tab should be set at full nose-up position and the
power adjusted so that the airplane will rotate to the horizontal attitude for
touchdown. Close the throttle at touchdown.
FIRES
Improper starting procedures involving the excessive use of auxiliary
fuel pump operation can cause engine flooding and subsequent collection
of fuel on the parking ramp as the excess fuel drains overboard from the
intake manifolds. This is sometimes experienced in difficult starts in cold
weather where engine pre-heat service is not available.
If
this occurs, the
airplane should be pushed a way from the fuel puddle before another engine
start is attempted. Otherwise, there is a possibility of raw fuel accumula-
tions in the exhaust system igniting during an engine start, causing a long
flame from the tailpipe, and possibly igniting the collected fuel on the
pavement.
If
a fire occurs, proceed according to the checklist.
