Rough engine or loss of power

If because of mags:

1. Select different power settings and enrichen the mixture to determine if continued ops on both is practical

2. If not switch to good magneto and divert nearest airport

Spark plug fouling

On ground

1. Mags: both

2. rpm 2000,

3. Lean for 2 mins

4. Mags check again

Over-voltage light illuminates

1. master off (both sides)

2. Master switch on

3. Over voltage light off

If over voltage light illuminates again:

4. Flight terminate as soon as practical

5. Verify with checklist/poh

Ammeter shows discharge

1. Alternator off (left master)

2. Non essential electrical equipment off

3. Terminate as soon as possible

4. Verify with checklist/poh

Spin

1. PARE

P - Power Idle

A - Ailerons neutral

R - Rudder full opposite of direction of spin

E - Elevator briskly forward

2. Neutralize rudder

3. Level wings

4. Ease out of dive

Spiral dive VMC

Spiral dive IMC

Landing with flap main tire

1. Flaps as desired

2. Approach normal

3. Touchdown good tire first (hold airplane off flat tire as long as possible with aileron control)

Door open in flight

1. Control the aircraft

2. Attempt to c’ose door if practical

To close door:

1. Reduce airspeed 75mph / 65 kts

2. Momentarily shove the door outwards

3. Forcefully close the door

4. Lock the door

Vacuum system failure

1. Confirm suction is low/reducing at different rpm settings (low rpm low suction, cruise 4-6 inches, high rpm 6 inches)

2. Proceed to partial panel (try to cover attitude indicator and gyro heading indicator)

3. Terminate flight as soon as practical

Brake failure or seizure

1. Request longer runway

2. Use full back elevator for aerodynamic braking

Flap failure stuck cannot go down

1. Terminate flight as soon as practical

2. Land no flap configuration (80mph 172M)

Flap failure cannot go up

1. if terrain and conditions do not permit do emergency landing

2. If terrain and condition perform climb at vx away from rising terrain (watch out to not exceed Vfe)

3. Reach altitude which would allow landing at closest aerodrome

4. Cruise appropriate speed (below Vfe)

5. Contact appropriate frequency

Emergency descent
