SECTION 3
PA-18R-l0t, ARROW
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.33 SPIN RECOVERY (3.5n)
Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane. If a spin is inadvertently
entered. immediately apply full rudder opposite to the direction of rotation.
Move the control wheel full forward while neutralizing the ailerons. Move
the throttle to IDLE. When the rotation stops. neutralize the rudder and ease
back on the control wheel as required to smoothly regain a level flight
attitud~.
.
3.35 OPEN DOOR (3.50)
The cabin door is double latched. so the chances of its springing open in
flight at both the top and bottom are remote. However. should the upper
latch be overlooked or the side latch not fully engaged, the door may spring
partially open. This will usually happen at takeoff or soon afterward. A
partially open door will not affect normal flight cha racteristics. and a normal
landing can be made with the door open.
.
If both upper and side latches are open. the door will trail slightly open,
and airspeed will be reduced slightly ..
_ To close the doorin flight, slow the airplane to 87 KIAS, close the cabin
vents and open the storm window.
If
the top latch is open, latch it. If the side
latch is open. pull on the armrest while moving the latch handle to the
latched position. If both latches are open, close the side latch first. and then
the top la tch.
3.37 ENGINE ROUGHNESS (3.Sp)
Engine roughness may
be
caused by dirt in the injector nozzles,
induction system icing, or ignition problems.
First adjust the mixture for maximum smoothness. The engine will run
rough if the mixture is too rich or too lean.
Move the alternate air to OPEN and then turn ON the electric fuel pump
Switch the fuel selector to another tank to see if fuel contamination is the
problem.
Check the engine gauges for abnormal readings. If any gauge readings
are abnormal proceed accordingly.
