Stopped Prop
By Scott Hotaling AOPA’s Flight Training Magazine
Your engine failed. Now what?
Pitch for best glide. The best glide speed published in your aircraft’s pilot’s operating handbook will allow you to travel the maximum horizontal distance to reach your emergency landing site.
Select a landing site. If no airport is within gliding distance a flat, open farm field with low crops is a good choice. If you’re at a high altitude, select a general area and pinpoint the best spot once you’ve descended to where you have a better view of terrain. Once you pick a spot, commit to it unless you find one that is obviously better.
Turn to the landing site. Make an immediate turn to the site you’ve selected.
Try to restart the engine. Is your fuel selector on the correct tank? Carb heat on? Check your throttle, mixture, and magnetos.
Call for help. Set the transponder to 7700 and make a Mayday call—to ATC if you’re already talking to them or on 121.5 MHz.
Fly a normal pattern. The terrain may be unfamiliar, but the procedure doesn’t have to be. Set yourself up in a pattern; fly it tighter than usual and extend flaps once you know you can reach the landing site.
Prepare for touchdown. Turn off the fuel supply, master switch, and magnetos. Open the doors so they won’t get jammed.
Land. Use technique appropriate to the terrain and land as slowly as possible—just like you’ve practiced.
