FAULT ANALYSIS
While position aircraft in forced landing circuit.
FLAPS AND UNDERCARRIAGE
KEY POINT – 1000 ft agl. Position on base leg
from where a normal glide approach would be
attempted.
FINAL APPROACH
)*)
v. On downwind or equivalent leg, carry out
normal downwind checks and prepare for
landing, brief passengers.
vi. Look out.
i. Check:
a. Fuel system – selection and
contents, pump on, primer locked.
b. Engine systems – ignition oil
pressure, carb. heat, mixture setting,
etc.
c. Electrical system.
ii. Re-start – attempt to restart engine using
normal in flight starting procedure.
iii. Re-start unsuccessful:
a. “May-Day” call.
b. Switch off all fuel, engine and
electrical services (as applicable).
iv. PRACTICE FORCED LANDING
a. Warm up engine as discussed.
b. Monitor temperatures and pressures.
i. Flaps – use optimum flap as required whilst
positioning in circuit.
ii. Undercarriage – early decision required as
to whether or not to force land with
undercarriage in up or down position.
Decision will depend on terrain but
undercarriage may be lowered if certain of
getting in on recognised airfield.
iii. PRACTICE FORCED LANDING
Lower undercarriage during normal landing
checks.
i. Passenger briefing – review.
ii. Forced landing checks – ensure:
a. Fuel off.
b. Ignition off.
c. Harness tight.
d. Cabin door/emergency exit open.
e. Master switch – off for after final flap
setting / undercarriage extension
completed if applicable to type).
i. From ‘Key point’ 1000 ft agl. on base leg,
execute a gliding turn onto final.
ii. Plan to be slightly higher than for a normal
approach when turning finals.
iii. Plan to land 1 /3 of the way into the runway
with optimum flap but when sure of getting
in, adjust descent to bring touchdown point
closer to ‘runway’ threshold.
iv. Methods of adjusting approach and losing
