1. Radio ............................................ Transmit (121.5 MHz) MAYDAY
giving location and intentions
2. Transponder ........................................................... SQUAWK 7700
3. CAPS ............................................................................. ACTIVATE
4. Airplane.........................................................................EVACUATE
5. Flotation Devices ............ INFLATE WHEN CLEAR OF AIRPLANE
Amplification
If available, life preservers should be donned and life raft should be
prepared for immediate evacuation upon touchdown.
Consider unlatching a door prior to assuming the emergency landing
body position in order to provide a ready escape path.
It may be necessary to allow some cabin flooding to equalize pressure
on the doors. If the doors cannot be opened, break out the windows
with the egress hammer and crawl through the opening.
Landing Without Elevator Control
1. Flaps ................................................................................SET 50%
2. Trim ............................................................................SET 80 KIAS
3. Power ....................................AS REQUIRED FOR GLIDE ANGLE
Amplification
The pitch trim spring cartridge is attached directly to the elevator and
provides a backup should you lose the primary elevator control
system. Set elevator trim for a 80 KIAS approach to landing.
Thereafter, do not change the trim setting until in the landing flare.
During the flare, the nose-down moment resulting from a power
reduction may cause the airplane to hit on the nosewheel. At
touchdown, bring the power lever to idle.
