Emergency Procedures
Emergency Descent
• Why?
Emergency Descent
• Uncontrollable Fire
• Sudden Loss of Cabin
Pressurization
• Any other situation requiring
immediate and rapid loss of
altitude
Emergency Descent
• How?
Emergency Descent
• Reduce the throttle to idle
• Roll into a bank angle of
approximately 30-45 degrees
• Set propeller to low pitch
( High RPM)
Emergency Descent
• Extend landing gear and Flaps
as recommended by the
manufacturer
• Do not exceed VNE, VLE, VFE, or
VA if turbulent
Emergency Approach & Landing
• Maintain your composure
• Fly the airplane
• Maintain your glide speed
• Adhere to the checklist
• Manage resources
Emergency Approach & Landing
• Factors to consider
• Wind
• Surface conditions
• Gear Position
Emergency Approach & Landing
• Size of landing area
• Obstructions
• Key Position
How to Crash
• Very Carefully
• Ground Speed
• Stopping Distance
• Deceleration Forces 9G
–50 mph 9.4 feet
–100 mph 37.6 feet
Best Glide Speed
• Gear and Flaps retracted
• Propeller to low RPM (High
Pitch)
• Pitch
• Trim
Best Glide Speed
• Checklist
• Any deviation from the best
glide speed will reduce the
distance you can glide
o
180
Turn After Takeoff
• Standard rate turn takes 1 minute
• At 65 knots, radius of turn is 2100
feet.
• Upon completion of the turn you
are 4,200 feet to one side of the
runway
o
180
Turn After Takeoff
• An additional turn of 45o takes
15 seconds
• If you descend at 1,000 fpm
total altitude loss will be 1.316
feet.
In-Flight Fire
• Follow the POH
• Types
In-Flight Fire
• Follow the POH
• Types
• Cabin, Wing, Electrical, Engine
• Emergency Descent
• Slip away from the fire
Partial Power Loss
• Best Performance Airspeed ~
Best Glide Speed
• Causes
Partial Power Loss
• Air
–Carburetor Ice
–Induction Icing
• Fuel
–Water
–Contamination affecting flow
Partial Power Loss
• Spark
–Plugs fowled, wire
disconnected
–Magneto
• Mechanical
Door Opening in Flight
• Fly the airplane
• Noise does not hurt
• Land the airplane
• Secure the door
Asymmetrical Flap Extension
• One flap works the other does
not
• Rolling motion
• Hazardous if in the traffic
pattern at low altitude
Asymmetrical Flap Extension
• Return the flaps to the up or
previous position
• Go around if necessary
Emergencies
• ELT
• Diversion
• High Oil Temperature
• Exhaust Leak
Emergencies
• Engine Failure on Takeoff
• Severe Turbulence
• Spatial Disorientation
• Survival Equipment

In small airplanes, normal
recovery from spins may become
difficult if the
A.
CG is too far rearward,
and rotation is around the CG.
B.
spin is entered before the
stall is fully developed.
C.
CG is too far rearward,
and rotation is around the
longitudinal axis.

When diverting to an alternate
airport because of an emergency,
pilots should
A.
apply rule-of-thumb
computations, estimates, and
other appropriate shortcuts to
divert to the new course as soon
as possible.
B.
rely upon radio as the
primary method of navigation.
C.
climb to a higher altitude
because it will be easier to
identify checkpoints.

An abnormally high engine oil
temperature indication may be
caused by
A.
a defective bearing.
B.
the oil level being too
low.
C.
operating with an
excessively rich mixture.

Frequent inspections should
be made of aircraft exhaust
manifold-type heating
systems to minimize the
possibility of
A.
a cold-running engine due
to the heat withdrawn by the
heater.
B.
exhaust gases leaking into
the cockpit.
C.
a power loss due to back
pressure in the exhaust system.

vital concern in the event of
complete engine failure after
becoming airborne on takeoff
is

turning back to the
takeoff field.
