Loss Of Fuel Pressure; High Oil Temperature; Alternator Failure - Piper CHEROKEE 180 Owner's Handbook Manual

SECTION IV
CHEROKEE 180
may stop suddenly. Maintain
altitude until
such time as a
dead
stick
landing
can
be
accomplished. Don't
change
power
settings
unnecessarily,
as
this
may hasten complete
power loss.
Depending on the
circumstances,
it
may
be
advisable to
make
an
off
airport landing
while
power is
still available,
particularly
if other
indications
of actual oil
pressure loss, such
as sudden
increase in
temperatures,
or
oil smoke, are apparent, and an airport is
not close.
If
engine
stoppage
occurs,
proceed
to
POWER OFF LANDING.
LOSS OF FUEL PRESSURE

Check on Full Tank
If
problem
is
not
an empty fuel tank, land as soon
as
practicable,
and
have engine
driven fuel pump
checked.
HIGH OIL TEMPERATURE
An abnormally
high oil temperature
indication may
be
caused
by
a
low
oil
level, an obstruction
in
the oil
cooler,
damaged
or
improper
baffle
seals, a
defective gauge,
or other causes. Land
as
soon
as
practicable
at
an appropriate
airport and
have
the cause
investigated.
A steady rapid
rise in
oil temperature
is
a sign of trouble. Land at
the nearest airport
and
let
a
mechanic
investigate
the
problem.
Watch
the
oil
pressure
gauge
for an
accompanying
loss of
pressure.
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
Loss
of
alternator
output
is
detected
through a zero reading
on the
ammeter. Before
executing
the following procedure,
insure
that the
reading
is
zero and not
merely low
by
actuating
an electrically
powered
device,
such as the landing light. If
no
increase in
the ammeter reading
is
noted,
alternator
failure can be
assumed.
