SECTION IV
CHEROKEE 140 "D"
NOTE
If engine
failure
was
caused
by fuel
exhaustion,
power
will
not
be
regained
after tanks are switched
until
empty
fuel lines
are
filled,
which
may require up
to ten seconds.
If
power is
not
restored,
proceed
with
POWER
OFF
LANDING
procedures.
POWER OFF LANDING
If loss of
power
occurs at altitude,
trim the aircraft
for best gliding
angle (80 MPH
IAS)
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;
it
may
be possible
to
land
at one
if you have
sufficient
altitude.
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
patterns
around
this
field.
Try
to
be
at
1000
feet
above
the
field
at the
downwind position,
to make a normal
approach.
Excess altitude
may
be lost by
widening
your pattern,
using
flaps
or slipping,
or a
combination
of these.
Touchdowns
should
normally
be
made
at the
lowest possible
airspeed,
with
full flaps.
