Frequently asked questions

Can I customize this Cessna 172 emergency procedures checklist for my specific aircraft?

Yes, you should customize this template to match your specific Cessna 172 model and equipment configuration. Different variants (R, S, SP) may have slight procedural differences. Review your aircraft’s Pilot Operating Handbook and make adjustments to ensure the checklist aligns perfectly with your aircraft’s systems.

Where should I keep this emergency procedures checklist in the cockpit?

Position the checklist within immediate reach of the pilot’s seat, typically in a side pocket or attached to a kneeboard. Some operators create abbreviated versions for quick reference and keep the comprehensive checklist in a document holder. Ensure all pilots know exactly where to find it during preflight checks.

What’s a good way to practice the engine failure procedure in this checklist?

Practice engine failure procedures first in a stationary aircraft to build muscle memory, then in a flight simulator if available. When conducting in-flight practice, always do so with a certified flight instructor at safe altitudes. Focus on maintaining proper glide speed and completing the checklist methodically while maintaining aircraft control.
