e) Emergency procedures

− Power failure on take-off

Should the power unit fail after take-off while still "at low height", maintain aircraft control and

safety approach speed, and land the aircraft straight ahead without attempting to turn back to

the landing field. If time allows, set ignition switch off and fuel cock off

− Power failure at altitude

If the engine fails for any reason, prepare for and carry out the emergency landing procedures

as follow:

• Maintain aircraft control.

• Immediately establish the best glide angle speed.

• Check for suitable landing sites. Choose a number of preliminary options if time permits.

• Turn ignition key off.

• Close the fuel cock.

• Check pilot and passenger seat-belts are tight and secure.

• Check wind direction, either by natural indications such as smoke rising or by judging drift

of aircraft over the ground, wind on the water.

• Choose the most appropriate landing site.

• Set up an approach as accurate as possible into wind.

• Remember your aircraft cannot be heard. Check that no one is on the landing site.

• Finalize your approach, deciding upon the best landing free of any obstacles.

• Use a short landing technique with safety.

• Evacuate the aircraft as quickly as possible, inviting the second occupant to do the same.

− Restarting the engine in flight

• Set ignition switch to ON.

• Use the choke in the event of a prolonged stop.

• Exert a quick pull with both hands on the starter rope.

• Adjust throttle level then turn the choke off.

WARNING: restarting the engine in flight may be tricky. Make absolutely sure you have

a good margin of height and stay close to a landing field.

− Engine fire

Should an engine fire occur during flight:

• Maintain aircraft control.

• Maintain your flying speed.

• Set fuel cock off.

• Set ignition switch off.

• Carry out the emergency landing procedures as above.
