Review Chapter 13

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
