AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES (GENERAL)
The following paragraphs arc 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.
3.7
ENGINE FIRE DURING START
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 case (above), if fire continues more than a few seconds, the fire
should be extinguished by the best available external means.
The fuel selector valve should be OFF and the mixture at idle cut-off if
an external fire extinguishing method is to be used.
3.9 ENGINE POWER LOSS DURING TAKEOFF
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 landing gear selector switch to the UP position and prepare for a
gear up landing.
If sufficient altitude has been gained to attempt a restart, maintain a safe
airspeed and switch the fuel selector to another tank containing fuel. Move
the induction air lever to the At:rERNATE position. Turn the auxiliary fuel
pump on HIGH and retard the throttle until power is regained (approx. 75%).
