Figure 19-1: Forced Landing Approach
DISTRESS CALL
Each time you conduct a simulated engine failure a simulated MAYDAY call should be made. This will gradually become a reflex action, spoken automatically in the event of a real emergency. If time does not permit a full call, even a partial transmission could make the difference in the response of rescue personnel. Your simulated MAYDAY call should contain the following:
MAYDAY Prefix: “MAYDAY, MAYDAY, MAYDAY”
Aircraft Identification: “GABC, GABC, GABC”
Nature of Distress: “Engine Failure”
Intentions: “Autorotating to side of lake”
Present Position: “10 miles north-east of Franz”
Always try to fly as high as the task and common sense allow. This gives much more real estate in which to pick a landing site. Flying low level over obstacles usually results in a forced landing that is difficult to successfully complete.
EXERCISE 20 - PILOT NAVIGATION
One significant advantage that an aircraft has over surface transportation is that it is capable of proceeding more or less directly to its destination at a constant and relatively high speed. To use this capability effectively, however, it is essential to be proficient in cross-country navigation. The first stage of this skill is a combination of practical navigation and map reading called pilot navigation. This involves the capability of piloting an aircraft a reasonable distance over relatively unfamiliar territory with a minimum of apprehension and a maximum of pleasure.
You must demonstrate competence in solo cross-country flight in order to be issued a pilot licence, but this will be preceded by dual instruction on all phases of the exercise. The success or failure of a cross-country flight hinges upon the ability to:
1. plan the flight, taking into account present and anticipated weather, terrain, distance involved, and your level of competence as a pilot;
2. establish and maintain a planned heading and altitude;
3. recognize the effect of drift, and competently estimate new headings to regain and maintain the desired track, or fly direct to your destination;
4. calculate ground speeds accurately and revise your estimated time of arrival (ETA);
5. read charts and identify physical features on the ground, and more specifically, correctly identify predetermined and new check-points; and
6. recognize the need to divert from a planned route and estimate a heading and ETA to an alternate heliport, or landing site, with a minimum of delay or confusion.
The foregoing points are difficult to put into any set order of importance, since changing situations would force a change in that order. For example, when a flight is conducted over terrain or in weather conditions which make map reading extremely difficult, an ability to hold a heading accurately and correctly calculate ETA’S becomes of overriding and vital importance, either in continuing the flight, or diverting to an alternate destination.
