AVIA102 Lecture Notes - Lecture 8: Fire Extinguisher, Ground Speed, Gliding Flight
Document Summary
Do a cause check: try restarting engine if needed, downwind check, primer locked. Can try pumping: try switching mags to left or right if initially on both (cycle, carb heat hot, throttle (try increasing or decreasing, mixture rich, fuel on. Make distress call: try to restart engine before making a distress call. If prop is windmilling then it will probably not turn on. If prop is stopped, engine might restart: last used frequency, if no one responds then use 121. 5, squawk 7700, appropriate call is a mayday call. Aircraft colour and type, souls on board, intentions: turn on elt. After touch down exit aircraft and meet at tail of airplane) Secure engine: mixture idle cutoff, fuel valve off, mags off, throttle closed, avionics off, master on until flaps are set to full flaps then turn it off. Touch down considerations: touch down using a combination of soft field and short field landing.
