Procedure
45
LAND IMMEDIATELY
The urgency of landing is paramount. Primary consideration is

to assure survival of the occupants. Landing in water, trees or
other unsafe areas should be considered only as a last resort.
Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (e.g. open field)
at which a safe approach and landing can be made.
The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of

the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing
area where appropriate assistance can be expected is not
recommended.
DEFINITION OF TERMS
"OEI flight condition -- Establish" is used as a leading step in

some engine emergency procedures to express the following:
1. In case that power of affected engine tends towards zero:
-- Maintain the normal engine within OEI limits.
-- Attempt to obtain a safe single engine flight condition. If a

climb is necessary to reach a safe flight condition, attempt Vy.
-- Continue with the remaining steps of the relevant procedure.
2. In case that affected engine still delivers power:
-- If deemed necessary, try to eScape from immediate danger

with both engines operating.
-- Establish steady level flight and determine if the situation

will allow for OEI flight. As a rule of thumb, this can be done by
checking the sum of the individual engine torques is lower than
OEI torque limit. If this is fulfilled, re-check OEI power available
by setting the affected engine to IDLE while maintaining the
normal engine within appropriate OEI limit.
● If engine power is sufficient for OEI flight and if a safe

OEI landing can be assumed, continue with the remaining
steps of the relevant procedure.
DEF ● If engine power is not sufficient for OEI flight or if a safe

OEI landing is not assured, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If necessary, re-establish power of affected engine before
landing. After landing perform single engine emergency
shutdown of affected engine.
