Forced Landings; Landing Without Elevator Control; Fires - Cessna T206H Flight Manual

SOLOY TURBINE PAC SECTION 3
POHS CESSNA T206H/206H EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

FORCED LANDINGS

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 (See page 3-5).
Before attempting an "off airport" landing with engine power available, one
should fly over the landing area at a safe but low altitude to inspect the
terrain for obstructions and surface conditions, proceeding as discussed
under the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power checklist (See page
3-5)
Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning 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 and squawk 7700 if transponder is installed. Avoid a landing
flare because of difficulty in judging height over a water surface.

LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL

Trim for horizontal flight (with an airspeed of approximately 90 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. Consequently,
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. Power control to ground idle at touchdown.

FIRES

Improper starting procedures such as advancing the fuel cutoff control out
of the cutoff position before the starter ignition exciter has been energized
could cause fuel to accumulate in the engine and an explosive lightoff or
internal engine fire and hot start. In this event, follow the prescribed
checklist.
Although engine fires are extremely rare in flight, the steps of the ENGINE
FIRE IN-FLIGHT checklist (Refer to page 3-8) should be followed if one is
encountered. After completion of this procedure, execute a forced landing.
Do not attempt to restart the engine.
The initial indication of an electrical fire is usually the odor of burning
insulation. The checklist for this problem should result in elimination of the
fire.
