EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
3.5 AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES (GENERAL)
The following paragraphs are 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
valves 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
gear selector switch
to
the
"UP" position and lock
the
emergency
gear
lever in the "OVERRIDE ENGAGED" position.
If sufficient altitude has been gained
to
attempt a restart, maintain a safe airspeed and switch
the
fuel
selector
to
another
tank containing
fuel. Place
the
auxiliary fuel pump to*"HI." Check
that the mixture
is
"RICH." The alternate air should
be "OPEN." Use the emergency gear lever as required.
The landing gear will extend automatically
when engine power fails at speeds
below approximately
103
KIAS. The glide distance with
the landing gear extended is roughly halved.
If
the
situation dictates,
the
landing gear can be retained in
the
retracted position by locking
the lever in the "OVERRIDE ENGAGED"
position.
If engine failure was caused
by fuel exhaustion,
power will not be regained after switching fuel
tanks
until the empty fuel lines are filled.
This may require up
to
ten
seconds.
If power
is not
regained,
proceed with
the Power Off Landing procedure
(refer to the
emergency
check list and Paragraph 3.13).
*The "HI" position on the
auxiliary fuel pump switch is guarded and must
be unlatched before
it can be
activated.
