800 to 1500 Feet AGLIf an engine failure occurs after takeoff between 800’ to 1500’ AGL, there willbe slightly more time for maneuvering, but a landing area must be selectedimmediately. Depending on the surface winds, a 180° return to the runway maybe an option, but this should only be considered under favorable conditions.An analysis and preselection of off-airport landing sites near the traffic patternarea will assist in decision-making when the emergency occurs. The 3D view onForeFlight or analysis of a satellite map of the area can reveal additional landingsite options.If time and altitude allow for an attempt at restoring power, perform thefollowing steps.• Airspeed......................................................................................................68 KIAS• Fuel Shutoff.........................................................................................................On• Fuel Selector................................................................................................... Both• Fuel Pump............................................................................................................On• Mixture (If restart has not occurred)....................................................... Rich• Magnetos............................................ Both (START if propeller is stopped)If Engine Restarts• Fuel Pump............................................................................................................Off• If fuel flow immediately drops to zero, return the fuel pumpswitch to the on position.If power is not restored, prepare for Power-Off Landing as detailed in the EngineFailure below 800 ft. AGL section.NOTE: Fuel, Air, and Spark are the three things combustionengines require to function. In the event of an engine failure,always consider these as a guide for troubleshooting along withthe checklist.NOTE: Some ground reference maneuvers, like eights-on-pylons,are conducted within this altitude range. Always pre-selecta forced landing area whenever conducting these low-levelmaneuvers.28 • Departure Procedures
Above 1500 Feet AGLWhen an engine failure occurs above 1500’ AGL, there will be more time totroubleshoot the problem. Depending on the altitude where the failure occurs,there may be time to work on two separate checklists. First, slow to best glideand turn towards nearest airport then run the Engine Power Loss Inflight RestartProcedures checklist; if this does not restore power, proceed to the EmergencyLanding with No Engine Power checklist. The Emergency Landing with NoEngine Power checklist generally follows the outline of the checklist listed in thissection of the supplement.To assist with landing site selection, ForeFlight has a Glide Advisor which takesinto account both terrain and wind effects. The pilot must program ForeFlightwith the specific aircraft’s glide ratio, which for the Cessna is 9:1.Engine Failure at NightIf the engine fails at night, pilots should still follow the steps of the A,B,C,D,Emnemonic. While the steps remain the same as in the daytime, there are a fewadditional actions required.• It will be very difficult to select landing sites like fields or roads at night,so make a turn toward the nearest airport. Darker areas tend to be lesspopulated, but they may also hide rough terrain and obstacles.• If landing off-airport, complete all items on the emergency landingchecklist except turning off the master battery switch prior totouchdown. This allows the pilot to use the landing light throughoutthe approach. Turn off the master battery switch immediately prior toor after touchdown.Engine Failure in IMCAn engine failure in IMC is handled in much the same way as one in VMC. Theobvious difference is being in the clouds during a portion of the descent, sopilots must be sure to continue their instrument scan and maintain aircraftcontrol while troubleshooting the engine failure. Once the aircraft descendsbelow the cloud bases, the pilot can then select a landing site and continue withthe emergency procedures discussed above. Become familiar with the graphicalarea forecast to avoid overflying areas with visibility or ceilings that would notallow a safe landing under VMC. ATC will be able to help with local weatherconditions like ceilings and winds for area airports to assist with decisionmaking.If in cruise flight and within gliding distance of an airport, also consider usingfinal approach courses of published instrument procedures as a guide towardsthe approach end of a runway. Once over the airport, circle down over theapproach end of the runway (using the principles of a steep spiral) until in aposition for a safe landing.Departure Procedures • 29
