CHAPTER EIGHT

Unlike the total power loss situations, POWER IS AVAILABLE and should be used to reach

high key, low key, and the runway at a paved field. Utilize maximum power (1015 ft-lbs.) if

the emergency is not related to the oil system or strong engine vibrations; if related, use 850

ft-lbs. torque. Climb at 120 KIAS. Realize that power may cease at any time, anticipating

forward stick to maintain flying speed should this occur. As stated earlier in this chapter, the

precautionary emergency landing will utilize the ELP profile (Figure 81).

Procedures

TURN towards the nearest paved field.

NOTE

For PPEL, turn towards the nearest manned outlying field designated

for PPEL. Realize that for actual conditions, you would land at the

best suitable field commensurate with altitude and gliding distance.

CLIMB if not within dead engine gliding distance of high key. Utilize maximum

power (1015 ft-lbs.) if the emergency is not related to the oil system or strong

engine vibrations; if related, use 850 ft-lbs. torque and 120 KIAS airspeed.

NOTES

120 KIAS climb is used to afford increased forward visibility

in the training environment. For actual emergencies, airspeeds as

low as 100 KIAS may be used to increase rate of climb.

If weather conditions preclude a climb to within dead engine

gliding position, leave the power at 850 ft-lbs. or 1015 ft-lbs.

(whichever is applicable), and accelerate, remaining clear of clouds

until at a position from which you can descend and/or decelerate to

enter the ELP. Once a high key is "made," reduce power to 205 ft-

lbs. and maintain altitude as the airspeed bleeds off to 100 KIAS.

Approaching 100 KIAS, lower the nose to maintain 100 KIAS.

Anticipate forward stick to maintain 100 KIAS should the engine

lose total power. When climbing to a point within dead engine

gliding distance, do not lose sight of your field by turning the aircraft

away from it.

Landing Gear and Flaps - UP. CLEAN up the aircraft (Check gear and flaps

retracted. Report "aircraft clean").

Aircraft and Engine Instruments - CHECK. Check the cockpit systematically to

determine the nature of the problem, and for any secondary indications. Try to

ascertain the cause and functional status of the aircraft.
