Forced Landing

When engine power fails, it is required to execute a forced landing. While flying, always keep your eye out for a field.

Remember: #1 priority is to make the field.

1. Set BEST GLIDE speed (60 KIAS)
2. CARB heat on
- this will fix issues such
- 1. air intake blocked (because this is alternate air source)
- 2. carb icing
- 3. mixture gets richer
3. Find place to land
4. Determine key points (final, base which is 45 degrees from runway)
5. CAUSE check
6. CABIN Check and passenger briefing: ELT, Fire E., seatbelts, crash position, etc.
7. COMMUNICATIONS : Mayday - Transponder to 7700.
8. Shutdown check (as in POH: master off after flaps, mags off, doors unlatch, etc.)

Too low (less than 1000 AGL), turn early from key point
Too high (more than 1000 AGL), go past key point
