Overview

This document is an emergency checklist specifically for the Mooney M20J 201, designated as N5760R. It provides pilots with critical procedures to follow in various emergency situations, including engine power loss, engine fire, electrical fire, and landing gear failures. The checklist is designed for quick reference during flight emergencies, ensuring that pilots can respond effectively and safely. It is essential for pilots to familiarize themselves with these procedures to enhance safety and preparedness during flight operations.

  • Throttle should be closed and brakes applied during take-off roll engine power loss.
  • Establish best glide speed if engine power is lost after liftoff.
  • In case of an engine fire, turn off the fuel selector and mixture control.
  • For power-off emergency landings, ensure the ELT is armed and cabin door is unlatched.
  • Follow specific procedures for landing gear failure, including manual extension if needed.

Engine Power Loss – Take-Off Roll

In the event of engine power loss during take-off, the checklist instructs the pilot to close the throttle, apply maximum brakes, turn the fuel selector off, and switch off the master and magneto/starter switch.

Engine Power Loss – After Liftoff & During Climb

If engine power is lost after liftoff, the pilot should lower the nose to establish the best glide speed, switch the fuel selector to another tank, turn on the fuel boost pump, and ensure the mixture control is full rich. If the engine does not restart, the pilot should prepare for a power-off landing.

Engine Fire in Flight

In case of an engine fire during flight, the checklist advises turning off the fuel selector valve, closing the throttle, setting the mixture to idle cutoff, and switching off the magneto/starter switch. The pilot should also close cabin vents and heating controls and prepare for a forced landing.

Power Off Emergency Landing

For a power-off emergency landing, the checklist outlines steps such as arming the ELT, securing seat belts, unlatching the cabin door, setting the mixture control to idle cutoff, and ensuring the landing gear is appropriately configured for the terrain.

Landing Gear Failure

In the event of landing gear failure, the checklist provides procedures for checking airspeed, pulling the landing gear actuator circuit breaker, and manually extending the gear if necessary. It emphasizes the importance of visual confirmation of gear alignment.

Safety notes

  • Do not attempt an engine restart in case of an engine fire.
  • Intentional spins are prohibited.
