Emergency procedures
5.9.1
Power failure on take-off
Should the power unit fail after take-off while still at low height, maintain aircraft control
and safety approach speed, and land the aircraft straight ahead without attempting to turn
back to the landing field. If time allows, set ignition switch and fuel cock off.
5.9.2
Power failure at altitude
If the engine fails for any reason, prepare for landing and carry out the emergency
procedures as follows:
1.
Immediately establish the best glide angle speed.
2.
Check for suitable landing sites. Choose a number of preliminary options if possible.
3.
Set ignition, pump and battery switches off. Close the fuel cock if time allows.
4.
Check that pilot and passenger seat belts are tight and secure.
5.
Check wind direction, either by natural indications such as smoke rising or by judging drift of
aircraft over the ground.
6.
Choose the most appropriate landing site.
7.
Set up an approach as accurate as possible into wind.
8.
Remember that your aircraft cannot be heard. Check that no one is on the landing site.
9.
Finalize your approach, deciding upon the best landing free of any obstacles.
10. Use a short landing technique.
11. Evacuate the aircraft as quickly as possible, encouraging the passenger to do the same if there is
damage to the unit that could result in a fire.
