3.8.2 Engine-Failure during Take-Off
In the case of an engine-failure, or when not enough power is available, perform
the following procedure:
If RWY is long enough, land straight ahead.
2. If RWY is NOT LONG enough, the pilot has to decide how to proceed,
depending on altitude, position and terrain.
Depending on the situation, it is possible to increase the glide-ratio by
setting the propeller to the feathered position:
8. right Propeller-switch FEATHER
Caution: Final position is
reached not until 90 sec!
Caution: If possible, turn OFF the master-switch just before landing
The master-switch also turns OFF the electric trim, propeller
speed control and COM equipment.
Caution: If the engine is not running, the additional drag is greater for
a windmilling propeller than for a feathered propeller. After
an engine-failure it is recommended to switch the propeller to
FEATHER.
