3.7 Engine
failure (carburetor icing)
Engine failure on take-off
Should the engine fail on take-off from a runway of sufficient length, land
straight
ahead.
If the runway is too short for this, the procedure for a proper landing
approach
will depend on height, position and terrain
If permitted by these factors, the propeller should at least be partly retracted
(ignition to be switched OFF for this purpose) – regardless of the position of
the prop blades – thus achieving a considerably better glide ratio. Thereafter
close fuel shut-off valve and set engine master switch at OFF.
WARNING:
With power plant fully extended, the rate of descend
increases to a value of about 2.30 m/s (453 fpm) at
105 km/h (57 kt, 65 mph) and the L/D deteriorates to
about 13 : 1 – therefore be cautions when using the
airbrakes!
