LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL

Using power lever and elevator trim control, trim for approximately 500
fpm descent with 20° flaps at 85 KIAS. Then control the glide angle by
adjusting power. If required, make small trim changes to maintain
approximately 85 KIAS as power is adjusted during the approach.
The landing flare can be accomplished by a gentle power reduction
accompanied by nose up trim. At forward C.G. loadings, it can be
necessary to make a small power increase in the final flare stage to
bring the nose up and prevent touchdown on the nose first. After
touchdown, move the POWER lever to idle.

SMOKE AND FIRE

In the event a fire is encountered, the following information will be
helpful in dealing with the emergency as quickly and safely as possible.
The preflight checklist in Section 4 is provided to aid the pilot in
detecting conditions which could contribute to an airplane fire. As a fire
requires a combustible material, oxygen and a source of ignition, close
preflight inspection should be given to the engine compartment and the
underside of the wing and fuselage. Leaks in the fuel or oil systems can
lead to a ground or in-flight fire.
Flight should not be attempted with known fuel or
oil leaks. The presence of fuel or unusual oil stains
can be an indication of system leaks and should be
corrected prior to flight.
Probable causes of an engine fire are a malfunction of the fuel control
unit and improper starting procedures. Improper procedures such as
starting with the EMERGENCY POWER Lever out of NORMAL position
or introducing fuel into the engine when gas generator speed is below
10% RPM will cause a hot start which can result in an engine fire. In the
event that this occurs, proceed in accordance with the Engine Fire
During Start On Ground checklist.
If an airplane fire is discovered on the ground or during takeoff, but prior
to committed flight, the airplane should be stopped and evacuated as
soon as practical.
