SECTION 3 - EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
FAA APPROVED
SPINS
Intentional spins are prohibited in this airplane, but should an
inadvertent spin occur, the following recovery procedure should be
used:
1. RETARD THROTTLE TO IDLE POSITION.
2. PLACE AILERONS IN NEUTRAL POSITION.
3. APPLY AND HOLD FULL RUDDER OPPOSITE TO THE
DIRECTION OF ROTATION.
4. JUST AFTER THE RUDDER REACHES THE STOP, MOVE
THE CONTROL WHEEL BRISKLY FORWARD FAR ENOUGH
TO BREAK THE STALL.
5. HOLD
THESE
STOPS. Premature relaxation of the control inputs may extend
the recovery.
6. AS ROTATION STOPS, NEUTRALIZE RUDDER, AND MAKE
A SMOOTH RECOVERY FROM THE RESULTING DIVE.
If disorientation precludes a visual determination of the
direction of rotation, the symbolic airplane in the turn
coordinator may be referred to for this information.
ROUGH ENGINE OPERATION
OR LOSS OF POWER
SPARK PLUG FOULING
A slight engine roughness in flight may be caused by one or
more spark plugs becoming fouled by carbon or lead deposits. This
may be verified by turning the ignition switch momentarily from
BOTH to either L or R position. An obvious power loss in single
ignition operation is evidence of spark plug or magneto trouble.
Assuming that spark plugs are the more likely cause, lean the
mixture to the recommended lean setting for cruising flight. If the
problem does not clear up in several minutes, determine if a richer
mixture setting will produce smoother operation. If not, proceed to
the nearest airport for repairs using the BOTH position of the
ignition switch unless extreme roughness dictates the use of a
single ignition position.
