PARKING
CAUTION
If the aircraft is parked unsupervised, chock the wheels instead of setting
the park brake since a change in weather conditions may result in the
brakes being released or being subjected to excessive high pressures.

Delivery hose ....................... PLUG INTO OUTLET ASSIGNED TO SEAT
Microphone cord, if mask is used................................PLUG IN TO JACK
..................................................................................ASSIGNED TO SEAT
OXYGEN .............................................................................................. ON
WARNING
Smoking is in no case permitted in the G 120TP-A. It is especially
dangerous while the oxygen system is in use.
WARNING
If the oxygen pressure gauge indicates a cylinder pressure of less than
500 PSI initiate descent to reach an altitude below 10000 ft.
The system is tested for safe operation down to a cylinder pressure of
250 PSI.
If cannula or continuous flow mask is used:
Cannula or continuous Flow mask................................ADJUST TO FACE
Oxygen flow.............................CHECK SUFFICIENT FLOW INDICATION
Flowmeter an needle valve....................................ADJUST TO ALTITUDE
Mask / Mic Switch, if mask is used...................................................MASK
PARKING
During oxygen usage:
Oxygen Pressure and flow...................................PERIODICALLY CHECK OXYGEN
CAUTION
When the oxygen system is turned on in combination with cannulas,
oxygen will flow continuously at the appropriate rate of flow selected for
the altitude with minor adjustments to the needle valve thumb wheel.
Ensure to use correct scale on flow meter for Cannula Continuous Flow
Mask.

PRECAUTIONARY LANDING
NOTE
A landing of this type is only necessary when there is a reasonable
suspicion hat due to operational factors such as fuel shortage, bad
weather conditions, etc. the possibility of endangering the aircraft and its
occupants by continuing the flight cannot be excluded.
The pilot is required to decide whether or not a controlled landing in a
field represents a lower risk than the attempt to reach the nearest
airfield under all circumstances.
Appropriate landing area ............................................................. SELECT
Wind……… ........................................................................... .CONSIDER
On approach:
If possible, fly over the selected landing area at a suitable height in order
to recognize obstacles. Check prevailing conditions and the possibility for
an overshoot.
The degree of offset at each leg of the pattern will allow the wind speed
and direction to be assessed.

Ditching
NOTE:
Study the wind and sea surface. Make a plan of action for the direction of
the ditching manoeuvre.
Dispose of, or restrain any loose articles in the cockpit which could
create a hazard during impact. It is preferable to impact the water as
slowly as possible and under full control.
Do not stall the aircraft in. Keep wings parallel with the surface of the
water on impact, i.e. wings level in calm conditions. Ditching into wind
provides the lowest speed over the water and therefore causes the
lowest impact damage.
It is recommended to use TAKE OFF flaps. Flaps set to a medium
position ensure the slowest speed on impact. Flaps usually induce a
lower angle of incidence and therefore smaller aircraft body angle when
approaching stalling speed thus providing for a better aeroplane attitude
on impact.
One wing tip striking the water first will cause a violent uncontrollable
slewing action.
