LANDING
If loss
of
power
occurs
at altitude,
trim
the
aircraft for best
gliding
angle
(100
MPH
IAS,
Air Cond.
-
OFF),
and
look
for
a
suitable field.
If
measures
taken to
restore
power
are
not
effective, and
if time
permits,
check
your
charts for airports
in the immediate vicinity;it
may be
possible
to
land
at one
if
you
have sufficient
altitude.
At best
gliding
angle,
with the engine
windmilling
and
the
propeller
control in
full
"DECREASE RPM," the airplane will
travel
approximately
one
and
one
half miles
for
each one
thousand
feet of
altitude.
If
possible,
notify
the FAA by
radio
of
your
difficulty and
intentions. If
another
pilot
or
passenger
is aboard,
let
them help.
When
you
have
located
a suitable
field, establish
a spiral
pattern
around this field. Try
to
be at
1000
feet above
the field at
the downwind
position
to
make
a normal
approach.
When
the
field
can
easily
be reached, slow
up
to
90
MPH IAS for the
shortest
landing.
Excess altitude
may
be
lost
by
widening
your
pattern,
using flaps or slipping, or
a
combination of these.
Touchdown should
normally be made

PROPELLER
O\IERSPEED
Propeller
overspeed is caused by
a
malfunction in the
propeller
governor,
or
low oil
pressure,
which allows
the
propeller
blades to rotate to full low
pitch.
If this
should
occur,
