Forced Landings; Ditching - Cessna Grand Caravan 208B G1000 Manual

SECTION 3
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.
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 in the Precautionary Landing With Engine Power checklist.
The overhead fuel tank selectors control shutoff valves at
the wing fuel tank outlets. To minimize the possibility of a
fire, these selectors can be set to the OFF position during
the final phase of an approach to an "off-airport" landing.
With the selectors turned OFF, there is adequate fuel in the
fuel reservoir tank for 3 minutes of maximum continuous
power operation or approximately 9 minutes idle power
operation. A warning horn will sound with both fuel
selectors turned OFF. If the noise of the warning horn is too
distracting, it can be silenced by pulling the START CONT
circuit breaker.
If the precautionary landing is aborted, turn the fuel
tank selectors to the on position after initiating the
balked landing.

DITCHING

Prepare for ditching by securing or jettisoning heavy objects located in
the baggage area and collect folded coats for protection of occupants'
faces at touchdown. Transmit Mayday message on 121.5 MHz giving
location and intentions and squawk 7700. Avoid a landing flare
because of difficulty in judging height over a water surface.
