                      PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING

         (iii)  If electrical failure occurs before Manual can be
                selected, to keep in Power, windmilling r.p.m. should
                be maintained as high as possible and control move-
                ments be kept to a minimum; if a reversion to Manual
                then follows, reduce airspeed (not below 170 knots)
                to decrease windmilling r.p.m. and use the controls
                excessively to avoid a rebuild of pressure.  If pres-
                sure rebuilds the landing is likely to be extremely
                hazardous, and it is recommended that the aircraft
                be abandoned.
                
         (iv)   If a false anchorage occurs with no electrical power
                available it can only be cleared as described in
                para. 88.  If for any reason this is not possible the
                aircraft must be abandoned.

(d) If electrical power is still available, the undercarriage and flaps may be lowered by means of the normal systems, but the services will take longer than usual to lower. If electrical power is not available, the emergency systems can be used, but the undercarriage, once locked down, cannot be retracted either in the air or on the ground in the event of overshooting, and the flaps can only be lowered to the fully-down position. f
AL1
(e) (i) If a forced landing on an airfield is being made attempt to arrive overhead at approx. 7,000 ft. or above. (ii) Plan a Manual approach and aim to be downwind opposite the caravan at a minimum of 4,000 ft. A.G.L. or above, depending on prevailing wind conditions, at 175 knots. (iii)Turn across wind maintaining speed at 175 knots, and when it is certain that the touch-down point can be reached select full flap. (iv) Maintain 175 knots on the final approach and aim to cross the threshold at 150 knots. In Manual the pull force to roundout from a glide approach is large. NOTE.-1. Experience suggests that it is preferable to lower the undercarriage when making a forced landing on an aerodrome or in open country. In the down position it absorbs much if not all of the initial impact, assists in retarding
