Checklists Emergency Procedures

INTRODUCTION
Emergencies caused by aeroplane or engine malfunctions are extremely
rare if proper pre-flight inspections and maintenance are performed.
The following procedures are not exhaustive and if a situation arises in
flight that does not have an appropriate checklist in this booklet then
Section lll of the approved flight manual should be consulted.
The following information is presented to enable you to form, in advance, a
definite plan of action for coping with the most probable emergency
situations which could occur. Where practicable, the emergencies requiring
immediate corrective action are treated in check list form for easy
reference and familiarization. Other situations, in which more time is
usually permitted to decide on and execute a plan of action, are discussed
at some length. In order to supply one safe speed for each type of
emergency situation the airspeeds presented are derived at 6775 lbs.
LANDING GEAR MANUAL EXTENSION

1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Airspeed -- BELOW 174 kts (Lower airspeeds make landing gear

extension easier).
Landing Gear Relay Circuit Breaker (Right Upper Side Panel) -- PULL.
Landing Gear Position Handle -- DOWN.
Remove safety boot from handcrank handle at rear of front seats.
Engage handcrank and turn clockwise as far as possible
(approximately 50 turns).
If electrical system is operative, check landing gear position lights and
warning horn.
Disengage Handcrank.
CAUTION
The manual extension system is designed only to lower the landing gear;
do not attempt to retract the gear manually.
WARNING
After emergency landing gear extension do not move any landing gear
controls or reset any switches or circuit breakers until aircraft is on jacks as
failure may have been in the gear up circuit and gear might retract on
ground.
- 22 -
SINGLE-ENGINE OPERATION
Two major factors govern single-engine operation; airspeed and
lateral/directional control. The aeroplane can be safely manoeuvred or
trimmed for normal hands-off operation and sustained in this configuration
by the operative engine AS LONG AS SUFFICIENT AIRSPEED IS
MAINTAINED.
SINGLE-ENGINE BEST RATE-OF-FLIMB SPEED, 110 kts
The single-engine best rate-of-climb speed is the airspeed which delivers
the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible time with gear up,
flaps up, and inoperative propeller feathered.
SINGLE-ENGINE BEST ANGLE-OF-CLIMB SPEED, 100 kts
The single engine best angle-of-climb speed is the airspeed which delivers
the greatest gain in altitude in the shortest possible horizontal distance with
gear up, flaps up, and inoperative propeller feathered
MINIMUM SINGLE-ENGINE CONTROL SPEED, 85 kts
The minimum single-engine control speed is the airspeed below which the
airplane cannot be controlled laterally and directionally in flight with one
engine operating at take-off power and the other engine with its propeller
windmilling

airspeed or above.
The following procedures provide for minimum
diversion of attention while flying the airplane.
NOTE
If airspeed is below 85 kts or terrain clearance is insufficient, reduce power
as required to maintain lateral and directional control.

PASSENGER BRIEFINGS
It is important to brief your passengers thoroughly prior to flight, and also
keep passengers updated during the flight. Included are some suggestions
for items to be included in your briefs.
PRIOR TO GOING AIRSIDE
Passengers should stay with you while airside for security and safety.
No smoking anywhere while airside or in the aircraft.
Stay away from other aircraft and be alert to hazards.
Overview of flight and expected flying conditions.
Does anybody require the toilet before we take-off?
ON THE GROUND
Dont scare your passengers by talking about engine failures, fires, or

similar simply ensure they are told to follow your instructions and
know how to operate the doors and/or emergency exits.
Adjustment of seat belts and seat position.
Location of sick bags.
An intercom is provided so passengers can easily communicate.
Passengers to minimise chat when radio is busy, or as requested.
Front seat passenger should be encouraged to point out any aircraft

spotted that might be of conflict another set of eyes is always useful.
Front seat passenger briefed on not interfering with controls.
If any passengers have any concerns during the flight they should be
encouraged to raise them.
Be sure to ask your passengers if they have any questions.
Encourage passengers to read the self-briefing cards if available.
IN FLIGHT
A running commentary of sights that can be seen, locations flown over

and how the flight is progressing can be useful.
Update your passengers about any change of plans.
Check on the status of your passengers regularly.
Should a situation arise in flight you should remain calm. Communicate

clearly and confidently the situation and your intentions to passengers.

SELF BRIEFING - DEPARTURE

A takeoff briefing should clearly state your plan-of-action for both when
everything goes as planned and when they do not!
He who fails to plan, plans to fail!
You should brief yourself on the following points:
How you plan on taking off and departing the aerodrome.
Consider any threats relevant to the departure and manage them.
Reasons for an aborted takeoff and how to execute it.
Dealing with an engine failure with runway remaining.
Dealing with an engine failure at low level with no runway remaining.
SELF BRIEFING - ARRIVAL

The arrival is the single most demanding phase of flight, and the one that
carries the highest risk. As with a departure briefing, a thorough self brief
on arrival is the key to a smooth and arrival.
You should brief yourself on the following points:
How you plan on conducting your approach to the aerodrome, and what
clearance or joining procedure you anticipate based on ATIS / AWIS.
Example:
Any NOTAMS relevant to your approach and landing.

Example:
Particularly strong crosswind and in-to-wind runway not available.

- Revise crosswind procedure, be go-around minded if unstable.
- Consider diversion if necessary.
The type of approach and landing you plan on making.

Example:
RWY 10/28 closed due soft wet surface.
Consider any threats relevant to the arrival and manage them.

Example:
Join upwind for RWY 06 at 1,800ft descending on upwind to 1,300ft.
Reduced flap setting due to strong winds, final speed 65-75kts.
If needing to go-around, the actions required to execute the procedure.

Example:
Full power, raise nose, establish positive climb, flaps up slowly,

communicate with ATC or other aircraft.

THREAT AND ERROR MANAGEMENT

TEM is an approach to flying that seeks to equip the pilot with the skills to
recognise and counter everyday problems which, if ignored, could result in
accidents or incidents.
Not all threats can be anticipated, it is unrealistic to make contingency
plans to try to cover unexpected events. Experience shows that many
threats can be anticipated, the first step is to identify likely threats. Once a
threat has been identified, it must be managed.
If you identify a threat that cannot be managed you should not go flying!
Example Threat
Management
High number of aircraft

operating at aerodrome
Extra vigilance of traffic in the circuit through visual means and radio
monitoring.
Tower closed, CTAF procedures

in operation
Without additional safety of tower protection maintain an enhanced

lookout and radio monitoring.
Short Runway
Ensure correct short field take-off or landing procedures are used and
that performance has been confirmed.
Terrain or obstacles
Maintain enhanced situational awareness, also modify departure or

arrival as appropriate.
Landing in to setting sun
Use another runway if possible. Wear sunglasses and be go-around

minded if unhappy with any aspect of the approach.
Adverse Weather
ie. Crosswind on landing
Ensure correct crosswind procedures are adopted and you are up to

the task (aircraft and/or crosswind recency). Be go-around minded if
the approach or landing becomes unstable. Request an alternate
runway if operationally required or preferred.
Your recency
Study aircraft procedures prior to flight and take extra time to

perform checks and monitor your own performance, or take a safety
pilot.
Aircraft status
ie. COM1 distorted / unreadable
Utilise COM2 for primary communications if available, otherwise

divert or abort flight after troubleshooting.
NOTAMS
Familiarise yourself with changes to regular procedures and include in

departure or arrival briefs.
ERROR MANAGEMENT
The TEM model accepts that it is unavoidable that pilots, as human beings,
will make errors. While errors may be inevitable, safety of flight requires
that errors that occur are identified and managed before flight safety
margins are compromised.
Identification of errors requires aircraft/systems/procedure knowledge and
situational awareness. Analyse your own performance and identify errors
before they lead to an undesired aircraft state or more serious error.
