Part 6: This post contains the text to create the following checklists:
Emergency Electrical Fire, Emergency Forced Landing, RV-12 Performance
& Specifications, RV-12 POH V-Speeds.
As mentioned in Part 2, the beginning and end of each text list will be delineated
by dashed lines as an aid for the reader interested in copying the lists. The
first line in each list is the Title for the list and is to be copied/pasted
into the appropriate line in “Checklist Titles” of the checklist creation tool … the remaining lines of text
are the actual list and they need to be copied/pasted into either a simple text
editor if making the checklist file manually or directly into the checklist
creator tool in the cell associated with the title.
Return from the future 11/21/2017: There were a couple of spelling errors and redundant second lines in the lists first posted two days ago. The spelling has been corrected. The redundant second lines have been removed where needed ... this was done because at the time the checklists were being made, I did not realize the SkyView displays the current checklist title being viewed at the top of the checklist screen. Those who have downloaded the text files prior to today may want to use these updated checklists.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY: ELECTRICAL FIRE
IN FLIGHT ELECTRICAL FIRE
An electrical fire is usually
indicated by an odor of hot or
burning insulation.
Electrical Switches – ALL OFF
Ignition Switches – LEAVE ON
Air Vents – OPEN for
smoke removal & ventilation
Use hand fire extinguisher if
available.
Land immediately or as soon as
practical if location for safe
landing is not available.
------------------------------------------------------------------
EMERGENCY: FORCED LANDING
PRECAUTIONARY LANDING APPROACH
Maintain a higher and closer
pattern than normal attempt to
remain in gliding distance of
the intended touchdown point.
Use normal landing procedures
in addition:
Airspeed – 60 KIAS recommended
55 KIAS minimum
Throttle – CLOSED when in
gliding distance of
runway.
Flaps – LOWER AS NEEDED to
increase approach
descent angle.
NOTE:
Slipping the aircraft by cross
controlling rudder & aileron
will increase descent both
with and without flaps. If a
crosswind exists, place the
lower wing into the wind.
FORCED LANDING (NO POWER)
If engine cannot be restarted
in flight trim the aircraft to
the recommended glide speed.
Airspeed – 63 KIAS(best glide)
– 59 KIAS min rate
of descent airspeed
Fuel Valve – SHUT/PULL UP
Flaps – UP to maximize
glide range
Radio – MAYDAY 121.5 MHz
or freq in use
Xponder – 7700
Position aircraft approx. 1000
feet above ground (AGL) when
downwind and abeam intended
point of landing.
Ignition A – SWITCH OFF
Ignition B – SWITCH OFF
Final Approach – 55-60 KIAS
Flaps – DOWN after
landing point assured
Master Switch – OFF Just prior
to touchdown
Touchdown at minimum airspeed
particularly if rough terrain.
