In the Land/Ditch Immediately procedure, which action is the sixth step?

• A. WHEELS AS REQUIRED
• B. EMERGENCY ELECTRICAL CUTOFF AS REQUIRED
• C. LAND/DITCH
• D. ROTOR BRAKE ON

Answer: (B)

The Land/Ditch Immediately sequence prioritizes getting a controlled touchdown and then reducing post-touchdown hazards. The action taken sixth, Emergency electrical cutoff as required, is about isolating the electrical system to minimize the risk of an electrical fire or shocks after you’ve touched down and secured the aircraft. You perform this only if there’s a reason—for example, if there’s smoke, a fire, or an obvious electrical fault—so it’s not automatic but situational. This placement makes sense because you first want to ensure a safe landing or ditch and secure the crew, and only then cut power to prevent energizing damaged circuits or igniting a fire during or after egress.
