AMPLIFIED
PROCEDURES
ENGINE FAILURE
If
an
engine
failure
occurs during
the
takeoff run, tho
most
important
thing
to do
is stop
the
airplane
on
the
remaining runway. Thoso
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
rosponse
to
an engine
failure after takeoff. In most
cases,
the landing shoutd be planned straight
ahead
with only
small
changes
in
direction
to
avoid obstructions. Altitude and airspeed
are
seldom
sufficient
to execute
a 180"
gliding turn necessary to return
to
the
runwa,y. 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,
