Figure 11-9. Remain over intended landing area; once selected, never have the landing zone behind the pilot/aircraft. During all simulated emergency landings, the engine  should be kept warm and cleared. During a simulated  emergency landing, either the instructor or the student  should have complete control of the throttle. There  should be no doubt as to who has control since many  near accidents have occurred from such misunder- standings. Every simulated emergency landing approach should  be terminated as soon as it can be determined whether  a safe landing could have been made. In no circum- stances should you violate the altitude restrictions  detailed in 14 CFR part 91 or any local nonaviation  regulations in force. It is also important to be courte- ous to anyone on the ground. In no case should it be  continued to a point where it creates a hazard or an  annoyance to persons or property on the ground. In addition to flying the powered parachute from the  point of simulated engine failure to where a reason- able safe landing could be made, the pilot should also  learn certain emergency cockpit procedures. The habit  of performing these cockpit procedures should be de- veloped to such an extent that, when an engine failure  actually occurs, the pilot will check the critical items  that would be necessary to get the engine operating  again after selecting a field and planning an approach.  Accomplishing emergency procedures and executing  the approach may be difficult for the pilot during the  early training in emergency landings. There are definite steps and procedures to follow in a  simulated emergency landing. They should be learned  thoroughly by the student, and each step called out  to the instructor. The use of a checklist is strongly  recommended. Most powered parachute manufac- turers provide a checklist of the appropriate items. [Figure 11-10] Critical items to be checked should include the quan- tity of fuel in the tank and the position of the ignition  switches. Many actual emergency landings could have  been prevented if the pilots had developed the habit of  checking these critical items during flight training to  the extent that it carried over into later flying. Instruction in emergency procedures should not be  limited to simulated emergency landings caused by  power failures. Other emergencies associated with  the operation of the powered parachute should be ex- 11-10
