Practice Forced Landings Flashcards
(12 cards)
At what height should you position for High Key?
High Key should be ~ 2500-3500ft.
Aim high to prevent being low, height can be easily lost but not gained.
What are the A-L-F checks and when are they conducted?
The A-L-F checks are conducted on the crosswind element of the PFL pattern.
A (Abandon) - Should I abandon the aircraft?
L (Landing Gear) - Up or down, what is the landing surface?
F (Flaps) - Flap to T/O if appropriate (95kts)
What is SWARF and when is it used/conducted?
SWARF refers to the PFL/AFL actions after the aircraft is flying safely and the IAs (Immediate Actions) have been conducted.
S (Suitable Landing Area) - Point to base, if not possible, into wind to buy time and choose a field.
W (Wind) - Aim to make final approach into wind, therefore position into wind at High Key.
A (Altimeter) - Set and assess height available.
R (Radio Call) - If time permits
F (FRCs) - Confirm IAs and complete subsequent actions.
What are the 5 S’s used when choosing a suitable landing area?
What are the pre-landing + checks and when are the completed?

Landing Gear: Not Req
Fuel: FOG, Total, Trans
Bleed: Fully In
Harnesses: Tight and locked
Flaps: Not Req
CONT IGN: ON

What AOB orbits can be conducted to lost 1000ft in a 360° turn?
30°AOB turn will result in a 1000 ft height lost in a 360° turn.
What AOB orbits can be conducted to lost 600 ft in a 360° turn?
45° AOB turn will result in a 600 ft height lost in a 360° turn.
What is the Minimum Abandonment Height?
1000 ft is the MAH
What techniques can be used to lose additional height in the PFL pattern?
Orbits (45° and 30° for 600 ft and 1000 ft)
S Turns
Taking Land Flap
How can you communicate on the Guard frequency in the Prefect?
0 on the UHF is Guard
The Emerg button on the MFD can send Guard direct to the Comms kit.
What is the composition of a Practice PAN call made during the PFL procedure?
Practice PAN, Practice PAN, Practice PAN
C/S, C/S, C/S
Simulated ‘emergency‘
then
Practice forced landing, will report climbing away
At what height must you be lined up with no further configuration changes be conducted during a PFL?
200 ft
