FULL OPEN SHUTDOWN OFF IDLE AS REQUIRED E-2 - OFF OFF E-1 IN-FLIGHT EMERGENCIES Engine Failure Immediately After Takeoff 1. BEST GLIDE 2. FUEL SELECTOR 3. MIXTURE 4. IGNITION 5. FLAPS 6. MASTER SWITCH ESTABLISH Engine Fire During Flight 1. FUEL SELECTOR 2. MIXTURE- OFF IDLE CUTOFF OFF 3. THROTTLE IDLE CUTOFF 4. IGNITION IDLE OFF OFF 5. FLAPS AS REQUIRED AS REQUIRED 6. MAY DAY CALL -121.5 / TRANSPONDER 7700 OFF 7. MASTER SWITCH 8. HEAT/AIR VENTS- 9. OVERHEAD VENTS OFF CLOSED OPEN 10. A/S 100K ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT - Forced Landing 1. A/S TRIM FOR BEST GLIDE 2. SELECT FORCED LANDING AREA 3. ENGINE RESTART PROCEDURE (Big L) FUEL SELECTOR - BOTH MIXTURE - RICH THROTTLE - FULL OPEN CARB HEAT-ON IGNITION - BOTH MASTER ON PRIMER IN & LOCKED If engine fails to start MAYDAY CALL CURRENT FREQ OR 121.5, TRANSPONDER 7700 SELECT TOUCH DOWN POINT FLAPS AS REQUIRED (FULL DOWN) DOORSUNLATCH 4. If restart fails - Secure engine (Big L) ****************************** Clear engine every 30 seconds ☐ 500 feel AGL minimum ☐ Execute the "GO-AROUND PROCEDURE" E-3 ***** If fire is not extinguished, increase A/S so that an incombustible fuel/air mixture will result EMERGENCY DESCENT 1. Declare an emergency; Current freq., 121.5, transponder 7700 2. Carb heat-ON, Throttle - IDLE 3. Flaps - FULL DOWN (remain in the white arc) 4. Speed - TOP OF WHITE ARC (for training Vfo -10) 5. Bank angle - 30 to 45 6. Select forced landing area 7. Touchdown in the landing area with minimum airspeed Engine power is available for maneuvering Electrical Fire / High Ammeter 1. MASTER SWITCH Negative Ammeter Reading 1. ELECTRICAL LOAD - Radios & Lights Off -- OFF REDUCE Alternator reset -- Alternator switch Off then ON If negative amps continue -- Alternator -- Off E-4 Smoke and Fume Elimination 1. CABIN HEAT / AIR KNOBS 2. UPPER AIR VENTS 3. PILOTS WINDOW Oil System Malfunction 1. THROTTLE 2. MIXTURE IN OPEN AS REQUIRED AS REQUIRED RICH Structural Damage or Controllability Check **CAUTION ** Do not reset flaps if significant structural damage is located in the wings. 1. Climb to at least 1500' above the terrain (if practical) at controllable airspeed. 2 Simulate a landing approach and determine the airspeed at which the aircraft becomes difficult to control (minimum controllable airspeed). 3 Plan to fly a straight-in approach. Fly the normal approach airspeed for your flap setting, or 10 KIAS above the minimum controllable airspeed, whichever is higher. For asymmetrical flaps, use your minimum flap setting for approach airspeed Plan to touch down at no less than minimum controllable airspeed. Do not begin to reduce final approach airspeed until the aircraft is very close to the runway. E-5 Recall 1.Eagle initiates with a blanket radio transmission that is not acknowledged. 2. Individual aircraft are then contacted separately to minimize confusion and congestion. 3. Do not leave area until instructed by Eagle. 4. Do not call Eagle for recovery. Eagle will sequence aircraft recoveries. 5. PREPARE FOR POSSIBLE DIVERSION SEE PAGE E-8 Lost Procedures; (Climb, Communicate, Confess & Comply 4C's) 1. Attempt to climb to an altitude that provides the best visibility. 2.Choose a power setting that will give you an economical fuel burn and lean for endurance. The bottom of the green arc (RPM) works well. Verify fuel remaining. 3. Look for prominent landmarks. Remember, airports often are located along major roads. 4. Tune in a local VOR. Navigational aids can be found on the Sectional Charts located in the aircraft. 5. Attempt to contact air Traffic Control. Possible Flight Service Station frequencies are: 122.0, 122.1,122.2, 122.6 or 123.6. 6. If all else fails: Set emergency code 7700 in your transponder, call “MAYDAY” 3 times on guard frequency, 121.5, giving your call sign and stating you are lost. 7. If unable to get reoriented, land before your fuel is completely exhausted. Select a good field and fly a low approach over it to determine whether it is suitable for landing. If suitable, determine the wind direction and land. 8. Notify the Aero Club by calling collect. If a farmhouse or other dwelling is not within sight, stay with the aircraft. E-6 RADIO FAILURE 1. Determine if an actual radio failure exists. a. Make sure the auto selector on the audio control panel 2. is in the PHONE position. The transmitter selector is on the correct radio and on the correct frequency. 3. 4. b. If communication is not established go to the intercom fail safe mode. Turn the intercom volume control knob full CCW to click into fail-safe mode. 5. Diversions from BLACK FOREST VOR, (BRK) 1. Determine fuel remaining. Select an alternate field. Turn to approximate heading. Change altitude if necessary. Notify ATC of your intentions.
