If you can see flames coming from the cowling of the airplane, you can help keep the fire away from the cabin and fuel tanks by taking what action?
Slipping away from the flames will help keep them from reaching the cabin and fuel tanks.
Maneuver 15 Emergency Descents
The main goal of an emergency descent is to get to a lower altitude quickly, or into a position where you can make a safe emergency landing.
In a pressurized airplane, an emergency descent normally is used to lose altitude quickly if pressurization is lost. In addition, many POHs list an emergency descent in the event of an engine fire, followed by an emergency landing procedure.
Maneuver 15 Emergency Descents
What airspeed should you fly during an emergency descent?
The proper airspeed for an emergency descent is normally listed in your airplane's POH with the appropriate emergency procedures checklist.
Maneuver 15 Emergency Descents
What action should you normally take in the event of an in-flight engine fire?
If you shut off the fuel during an engine fire, you will cut off one component that is required for combustion. This will help extinguish the fire and keep it from spreading.
Maneuver 15 Emergency Descents
Select the true statement regarding an emergency descent in a retractable gear airplane.
Extending the gear normally adds drag and allows you to descend at an increased rate without exceeding airspeed limitations. The POH will specify how the landing gear can be used to aid your emergency descent.
Maneuver 16 Emergency Approach and Landing
What action should you take when planning a flight over rough or remote terrain?
When preparing for a flight over rough or remote terrain, plan to stay near populated areas, and follow roads and valleys. This way, you will be closer to suitable landing sites should you need to perform an emergency landing.
Maneuver 16 Emergency Approach and Landing
What airspeed should you use during an emergency approach?
Best glide speed gives you the maximum gliding distance and time to plan your approach.
Maneuver 16 Emergency Approach and Landing
Select the true statement regarding the effect of wind on an emergency approach and landing.
A headwind will cause your groundspeed to decrease, and you won't be able to glide as far. You need to keep this in mind when you select a landing site. You may not be able to reach the field you've selected if it is upwind and too far away. Your groundspeed will increase in a tailwind.
