Elt
• Frequency 121.5 and 243.0
• Battery
–1 hour of cumulative use
–One half the battery useful life
• Test during 5 minutes after the
hour
Diverting for Emergencies
• Time is of the essence
• Turn to new course as soon as
possible
• Use rule of thumb computations,
estimates and shortcuts
Engine Temperature
• Oil cools the internal portion of
the engine
• High temperature is often a sign
of low oil level
Heating System
• Heating in most aircraft is by
exhaust manifold-type
• Crack in the system can allow
carbon monoxide into the cabin
• If your aircraft backfires during
run up, have it checked
Engine Failure(Takeoff)
• Lower the nose and maintain a
safe airspeed
Turbulence
• Slow to maneuvering speed
• Maintain a level attitude
• Do not chase the pitot static
instruments
Spatial Disorientation
• Rely on instrument indications
• Ignore body sensations
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 Flap as
recommended by the
manufacturer
• Do not exceed VNE, VLE, VFE, or
VA if turbulent
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
Lost Procedures
• Climb
• Communicate
• Confess
• Comply
• Conserve
Lost Procedures
• Radar
• DF Steer
• Emergency Frequency 121.5
Flotation Gear
• Readily available for each
occupant if being flown for hire
when beyond power-off gliding
distance from shore
Night Emergency Landing
• Plan to land in an unlighted
portion of an area
• Select a landing areas close to
