"Aviate- Navigate- Communicate isnt correct in this procedure, Early communication is essential including 7700 on the transponder"

Oh dear. NO. Saying stuff like that will have a student making the mayday call before they've set up the glide or chosen a field they can reach.


The sequence needs to be:
- set up glide (however that is in the aircraft in question)
- select field that can be reached easily and ideally is landable
- plan how to get to that field
- begin to execute the plan, check you are still going to make it
- NOW do a mayday call
- attempt to restart
- TIFS check
- land
- secure aircraft, find landowner, call whoever you made the mayday call to to tell them you are down safely
