4 . . Emergency Landings:
On a wheels up landing, the airplane will tend to settle down
at the rear when the landing speed is decreasing, and full for-
ward control wheel pressure should be used to hold the tail up
as long as possible. The flaps should not be extended because
they will contact the ground first, causing damage to the flap
and the wing. The propellers should be feathered and stopped in
a horizontal position. Fuel valves and electrical switches should
be turned to off position.
A wheels up landing should be made only during an emer-
gency when the surface is too soft or too rough to permit a gear
down landing,
a;
when an emergency landing on water is neces-
sary.
5. Emergency Landing Gear Extension:
Should the left engine or engine driven hydraulic pump fail,
extension of the landing gear or flaps is accomplished by supply-
42
ing hydraulic pressure with
the manual hydraulic pump.
With the gear or flap control
in the desired position, about
50 strokes of the pump handle
will raise or lower the landing
gear before 15 strokes will
raise or extend the flaps.
Manual pumping is in-
creasingly difficult as the
gear draw closer to full ex-
tension or retraction. Note
