PA·28R·201, ARROW EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.7 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES (GENERAL)
The following paragraphs are presented to supply additional
information for the purpose of providing the pilot with a more complete
understanding of the recommended course of action and probable cause of
an emergency situation.
3.9 ENGINE FIRE DURING START (3.Sa)
Engine fires during start are usually the result of overpriming. The first
attempt to extinguish the fire is to try to start the engine and draw the excess
fuel back into the induction system.
If a fire is present before the engine has started, move the mixture
control to idle cut-off, open the throttle and crank the engine. This is an
attempt to draw the fire back into the engine.
If the engine has started, continue operating to try to pull the fire into the
engine.
In either of the above cases, if fire continues for more than a few seconds,
the fire should be extinguished by the best available external means.
The fuel selector valves should be OFF and the mixture at idle cut-off if
an external fire extinguishing method is to be used.
3.11 ENGINE POWER LOSS DURING TAKEOFF (3.Sb)
The proper action to be taken if loss of power occurs during takeoff will
depend on the circumstances of the particular situation.
If sufficient runway remains to complete a normal landing, leave the
landing gear down and land straight ahead.
If the area ahead is rough, or if it is necessary to clear obstructions, move
the gear selector switch to the UP position.
If sufficient altitude has been gained to attempt a restart, maintain a safe
airspeed and switch the fuel selector to a tank containing fuel. Place the
electric fuel pump to ON. Check that the mixture is RICH. The alternate air
should be open.
