What is the correct emergency procedure for an engine failure in a Cessna 172P?
a) Pitch for best glide (65 kts), look for a place to land and navigate towards that location (if altitude permits,
circle over the landing area, attempt an engine restart, communicate a MAYDAY on 121.5 Mhz and squawk
7700), extend flaps when landing is assured, and land.
b) Pitch for best glide (75 kts), look for a place to land and navigate towards that location (if altitude permits,
circle over the landing area, attempt an engine restart, communicate a MAYDAY on 122.0 Mhz and squawk
7600), extend flaps when landing is assured, and land.
c) Pitch for best glide (60 kts), look for a place to land and navigate towards that location (if altitude permits,
circle over the landing area, attempt an engine restart, communicate a MAYDAY on 121.0 Mhz and squawk
7500), extend flaps when landing is assured, and land.

Why is establishing and maintaining best-glide after an engine failure or intentional shutdown
so critical?
a) An engine failure could cause the airplane to stall if the airspeed isn't at least 65 kts.
b) Establishing best-glide will make it easier for the engine to restart.
c) Best-glide provides the maximum lift to drag ratio.
d) It's not important to maintain best-glide speed once it is intially established.

What should you do if an engine fire occurs on the ground during startup in a Cessna 172P?
a) Immediately shutdown the engine, exit the airplane, and extinguish the flames.
b) Remain in the airplane in case an explosion occurs. Contact emergency services with the radios and wait
until the flames are extinguished before exiting.
c) Exit immediately and leave everything in the plane as is.
d) Continue cranking the engine in an attempt to suck the flames through the carburetor. After fire has been
extinguished by emergency services or through cranking, shutdown and inspect the engine damage.
What should you do if an engine fire occurs while flying in a Cessna 172P?
a) Immediately cut-off all sources of fuel to the engine, pitch for 100+ kts to put out the fire, establish best-glide
after fire is put out, and execute a forced landing at a suitable field.
b) Immediately cut-off all sources of fuel to the engine, pitch for 100+ kts to put out the fire, establish best-glide
after fire is put out, restart the engine and land at the nearest airport.
c) Immediately add full power and pitch down for 100+ kts in an attempt to put out the fire. Once the fire is put
out, return to normal cruise and land at the nearest airport.
