- 8Airspeed - MAINTAIN MAXIMUM GLIDE OF 95 mph with flaps at CRUISE
- 9Radio - STATE EMERGENCY AND POSITION; instruct occupants for crash landing
- 10Make a dead engine landing. Do not re-start after the extinguisher has been used
- 1Fire Extinguisher (in front of the pilot's seat)USE if the source can be located and is accessible
- 2If the source cannot be located or is not accessible:
- 3All electrical switches EXCEPT IGNITIONOFF
- 4All windowsCLOSED
- 5Ventilators and cabin air extractor (if fitted)PULL
- 6When the fire is extinguished but the source is not clearly established - leave all switches except ignition OFF
- 7Land at the nearest airfield for investigation
- 1RPM TOO HIGH: manipulate the propeller lever to bring the propeller within limits
- 2If no responsethrottle back to keep RPM below 2,350 RPM
- 3Leave flaps at TAKE-OFF and maintain 65 mph minimum
- 4If unsuccessful - return to the field maintaining a nose up attitude, regulate rate of descent with gentle throttle manipulation, and make a power off landing
- 5RPM TOO LOW (propeller in full coarse pitch): increase airspeed without losing altitude, reduce throttle to 30 in.Hg if possible
- 6Raise flaps to CLIMB in stages, maintain maximum airspeed and climb at the slowest rate to gain altitude for a safe circuit; jettison external loads if necessary
- 1Keep approach speed sufficient for control down to impact with the water
- 2Instruct other occupants and unlock cabin and cockpit doors
- 3Make the approach into wind, at right angles to the swell
- 4Ditch on the falling side of a wave crest or swell top
- 5Touch down TAIL FIRST to prevent the nose striking a wave crest
- 6Occupants - brace for a double impact, do not move until the aircraft has come to rest, then help each other through the doors as quickly as possible
