SECTION IV
A complete loss of oil pressure indication may signify oil
exhaustion or may be the result of a faulty gauge. In either case,
proceed toward the nearest airport, and be prepared for a forced
landing. If the problem is not a pressure gauge malfunction, the engine
may stop suddenly. Maintain altitude until such time as a dead stick
landing
can
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 increases 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

1.
Electric Boost Pump - On
2.
Fuel Selector - Check on Full Tank
If problem is not an empty fuel tank, land as soon as practical, 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 of the oil cooler, damaged or improper
baffle seals, a defective gauge, or other causes. Land as soon as
practical 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.
