Closes the fuel valve and the APU doors.
CAWS, SSRS-1 LDG GEAR, CABIN ALT Circuit Breaker - Lower EPC P-38 or P-40...................................... PULL
Prevents warning horn with gear retracted and landing flaps.
GPWS Computer Circuit Breaker - F-20 or F-13 ............................ PULL
Prevents nuisance warning on final approach.
Passenger Cabin Preparation .................................................COMPLETE
Verify passenger cabin preparations for ditching are complete. All available food, fluids, flashlights, first aid kits, and other emergency equipment confirmed ready for evacuation. If no life rafts are on board, ensure Flight Attendants are prepared to use the evacuation slides as substitutes. The aft service door girt bar should be disengaged so the slide can be brought forward after airplane stops. Passengers should be seated with life vests and seat belts on (life vests not inflated).

Flaps 28. provides the best lift/drag ratio and is the best selection for ditching. Approach body angle will be slightly higher than that for flaps 40.. The flaps are designed to absorb impact, and if necessary, tear away without damaging the wing fuel tanks.

Captain: Proceed to forward cabin area. Evaluate escape potential. Supervise and assist cabin crew in evacuation of aircraft. Board and take command of any raft, if available.
First Officer:Proceed to cabin area. Evaluate escape potential. Assist Captain and cabin crew in evacuation of aircraft. Board and take command of any raft, if available.
The aircraft may remain afloat indefinitely if fuel load is minimal and no serious damage was sustained during landing.

It is extremely dangerous to land into the wind without regard to swell systems. Touchdown should be made parallel to the largest swell system, crabbing into the wind as required until the flare. If a smaller secondary swell system is present, attempt to touchdown on the back side of a secondary swell while remaining parallel to the larger swell system. Avoid touching down into the “face” of a swell. 中国航空网 www.aero.cn 航空翻译 www.aviation.cn 本文链接地址：MD-80 Flight Manual 麦道80飞行手册 1(56)
