EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Although engine fires are extremely rare in flight, the steps of the
appropriate checklist should be followed if one is encountered. After
completion of this procedure, execute a forced landing. Do not attempt to
restart the engine.
The initial indication of an electrical fire is usually the odor of burning
insulation. The checklist for this problem should result in elimination of
the fire.
EMERGENCY OPERATION IN CLOUDS
(Vacuum System Failure)
In the event of a vacuum system failure during flight, the directional
indicator and attitude indicator will be disabled, and the pilot will have to
rely on the turn coordinator or the turn and bank indicator if he inadvert-
ently flies into clouds. The following instructions assume that only the
electrically-powered turn coordinator or the turn and bank indicator is
operative, and that the pilot is not completely proficient in instrument
flying.
EXECUTING A 180° TURN IN CLOUDS
Upon inadvertently entering the clouds, an immediate plan should be
made to turn back as follows:
1.
Note the compass heading.
2. Note the time of the minute hand and observe the position of the
sweep second hand on the clock.
3. When the sweep second hand indicates the nearest half-minute,
initiate a standard rate left turn, holding the turn coordinator
symbolic airplane wing opposite the lower left index mark for 60
seconds. Then roll back to level flight by leveling the miniature
airplane.
4. Check accuracy of the turn by observing the compass heading
which should be the reciprocal of the original heading.
5.
If
necessary, adjust heading primarily with skidding motions
rather than rolling motions so that the compass will read more
accurately.
6. Maintain altitude and airspeed by cautious application of elevator
control. Avoid overcontrolling by keeping hands off the control
wheel as much as possible and steering only with rudder.
EMERGENCY DESCENT THROUGH CLOUDS

conditions preclude reestablishment of VFR flight by a 180° turn, a
