CHEROKEE

may stop suddenly.
Maintain
altitude
until such time as
a
dead
stick
landing
can
be
accomplished.
Don't
change
power
settings
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
increase 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

Check on Full Tank
If
problem is
not
an empty
fuel
tank,
land
as soon as
practicable,
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
in
the oil cooler,
damaged
or
improper
baffle
seals,
a
defective gauge,
or other
causes.
Land
as soon
as
practicable
at an appropriate
airport
and
have
the cause
investigated.
A speady 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.
ALTERNATOR
FAILURE
Loss
of
alternator
output
is detected
through
a
zero
reading on the
ammeter.
Before
executing
the
following procedure, insure
that
the
reading
is zero
and
not merely
low by
actuating
an electrically
powered
device,
such
as
the
landing light.
If no
increase in
the ammeter
reading
is
noted,
alternator failure
can
be
assumed.
