AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

ENGINE FAILURE

If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, 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.
Feathering the propeller substantially reduces drag, thereby providing
increased glide distance. 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° gliding turn necessary to return to the runway. The checklist
procedures assume that adequate time exists to secure the fuel and
electrical 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. Propeller feathering
is dependent on existing circumstances and is at the discretion of the
pilot. On the other hand, to obtain the maximum glide, the propeller
must be feathered.
While gliding toward a suitable landing area, an effort should be made
to identify the cause of the power loss. An engine failure might be
identified by abnormal temperatures, mechanical noises or high
vibration levels in conjunction with the power loss. An engine failure will
be noticed by a drop in ITT, N
Do not attempt to restart an engine that is definitely
known to have failed.
