If power loss occurs at altitude, trim the aircraft for best gliding angle
76 KIAS, tum air condition off (if installed) and look for a suitable field. If
measures taken to restore power are not effective, and if time permits, check
your charts for airports in the immediate vicinity. If possible, notify the
FAA by radio of your difficulty and intentions. If another pilot or passenger
is aboard, let them help. When you have located a suitable field, establish
a spiral pattern around this field. Try to be at 1000 feet above the field at
the downwind position, to make a normal landing approach. When the field
can easily be reached, slow to 66 KIAS with flaps down for the shortest
landing. Excess altitude may be lost by widening your pattern, using flaps
or slipping, or a combination of these. Touchdown should normally be made
at the lowest possible airspeed .
