  1. Emergency Proceduresfor Beech Bonanzas and Debonairs

  2. Single-Engine Emergencies • Stimulate thought and visualization • Avoid confusion and panic • Thinking through emergency scenarios ahead of time • Reinforce knowledge of aircraft systems and procedures

  3. Two Types of “Emergencies” • Abnormal conditions • True emergencies

  4. Two Types of “Emergencies” True emergencies • Engine failures • Fires • Autopilot malfunctions • Split-flap condition • Door open on takeoff

  5. Cabin door unlatches • Manual landing gear extension • Electrical system failure • Engine power loss/forced landing

  6. Priority of Actions • Maintain aircraft control • Analyze the situation • Continue to control the aircraft • Take the appropriate action

  7. Door Open on Takeoff

  8. Door Open in Cruise Flight • Maintain aircraft control • Land to secure the door • Added drag, added fuel to destination • Pattern considerations • CHECK LANDING GEAR!

  9. Landing Gear Malfunctions

  10. Possibilities: • Landing gear motor failure • Manual gear hand crank obstruction • Bent or broken gear system push rod or rod end

  11. Landing Gear Malfunction Do’s and Don’ts • Do NOT cycle the gear • DO climb to a safe altitude • DO use the POH Emergency checklist

  12. BANG!

  13. Reference the Landing Gear Manual Extension checklist • Perform all steps to beginning the crank • Turn the hand crank one-half to three-quarters of a turn • Stow the hand crank and reset the breaker If the gear will not extend, start the checklist over and extend the landing gear fully by hand.

  14. Manual Extension Technique • Follow the checklist! • Slow the airplane to 100 – 110 knots • Turn the hand crank approximately 15 turns • Sit up, confirm attitude, look for traffic • Add 1 to 2” MP

  15. Manual Extension: a Technique Repeat the technique: • Crank 15 turns • Confirm attitude • Look for traffic • Add 1 to 2” MP Then: • Crank 10 turns (it will get harder) • Confirm attitude • Look for traffic • Add 1 to 2” MP And finally: • Crank 10 turns or until it will go no further • Confirm attitude • Look for traffic • Add 1 to 2” MP

  16. Avionics begin to dim • NAV flag on HSI or OBS • Odd odor

  17. Electrical Fire

  18. What do you lose? • Turn coordinator • HSI • Electric attitude indicator • Autopilot • Communications and navigation • Engine gauges and fuel indicators

  19. Now what? • Ventilate the cabin • Fire extinguisher • Emergency descent • Land as soon as possible • Turn on only what you absolutely need • Gear extension • No-flap landing

  20. Night/IMC • Flashlights • Handheld comm radio with external antenna • Handheld GPS • Land as soon as practical • Fly toward improving weather

  21. Engine Failures

  22. Consider…

  23. Propeller Overspeed • Throttle – RETARD TO PROPELLER RED LINE • Airspeed – REDUCE • Oil Pressure – CHECK • Land – NEAREST SUITABLE SITE

  24. Priority of Actions • Maintain control of the airplane • Analyze the situation • Take corrective actions

  25. Total NTSB Reports and Engine Failures

  26. Engine Failures and Fuel

  27. Other Engine Failure Causes • Mechanical failures (cylinders, propellers, etc.) • Maintenance issues in the fuel system • Ignition and oil systems • Undetermined

  28. Who owns the airplane? THE INSURANCE COMPANY What is your job? CONTINUE TO FLY THE AIRPLANE

  29. Pilot Action Plan • Maintain control of the airplane • Aim for an emergency landing site • Perform the memory steps of the Engine Failure in Flight checklist • Attempt to restart the engine • Maximum Glide configuration • Landing Without Power checklist • Passenger evacuation • Contact help and ATC

  30. Best Glide • PITCH for Best Glide • 105 to 110 knots for most; as low as 90 mph in some • Reduces with airplane weight • 6 degrees nose low attitude • Gear and Flaps: UP • Propeller: PULL FULLY AFT • TRIM

  31. Pilot Action Plan • Maintain glide speed and attitude • Switch to a MAIN fuel tank you know contains fuel • Aim for an emergency landing site

  32. Attempt a Restart If time and altitude permit: • Verify the fuel selector valve • Mixture control • Auxiliary fuel pump • Alternate air handle (when equipped)

  33. Forced Landing • Continue to your landing site • MAYDAY call if time permits • Fuel selector OFF • Mixture control IDLE CUTOFF • Magnetos OFF • Brief your passengers • Tighten seat belts and shoulder harnesses • Flaps and landing gear • Battery and Alternator/Generator OFF • Fly until the airplane stops moving

  34. How far can I glide?What rate of descent should I expect?

  35. Radius of glide
