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 public access if possible
