Summary
192 Max talks with Flying Magazine’s
Rob Mark about minimizing takeoff risks. Per the NTSB, 26% of
fatalities occur during takeoff, so pilots need to plan for what
they’ll do if things don’t go well during the takeoff. Engine
failure can occur, but a partial power loss is three times more
likely than a complete engine failure. Rob also shares a long list
of tips for avoiding takeoff emergencies.
Rob's Tips for Avoiding Takeoff Emergencies
• Don’t simply read the before-takeoff checklist; make sure you’ve
accomplished the required tasks.
• Recheck that the tank chosen for takeoff contains sufficient
fuel.
• Check that the backup fuel pump is on if the aircraft requires it
for takeoff.
• Recheck that takeoff flaps are properly set.
• How many inches of manifold pressure and/or what rpm should the
engine deliver during the takeoff roll?
• Don’t accept an intersection departure that leaves valuable
runway behind you.
• Note the distance (in feet) of your upcoming ground roll.
• Highlight the intersection where the aircraft should break
ground.
• If you’re not airborne by the highlighted spot, do you have
enough remaining runway to stop?
• Have you surveyed the area off the departure end of the runway
for potential landing spots?
• If you’ve never practiced making a 180-degree turn back after a
loss of power, don’t make today the day to try one.
• If you’re forced into an off-airport landing, your job is to
protect the people on board—the airplane’s insured.
