2. Reduce airspeed and rate of descent to a minimum, but do not stall the airplane.
3. Throttles - OFF just prior to water contact and contact water on a crest of a swell, parallel to the
major swell.
AFTER WATER CONTACT

until the airplane has come to a complete stop. Under reasonable ditching conditions, the aircraft
should remain afloat an adequate time to launch and board life rafts in an orderly manner.
