CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.3.11 OVERVOLTAGE If the bus voltage rises above 15.3 volts, a bright red “High Volts” light will illuminate. Battery Master Switch..........Off Wait 1 minute and switch master switch on and monitor voltage.
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.3.13 INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER WARNING THIS AIRCRAFT IS NOT APPROVED FOR FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING. FLIGHT INTO KNOWN ICING CONDITIONS IS PROHIBITED. CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics.
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES AMPLIFIED EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.4.1 ENGINE FIRE DURING START Engine fires during starting may be caused by excessive use of the engine fuel primer. The first attempt to extinguish the fire should be to draw the excess fuel into the engine.
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.4.2 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF If an engine failure occurs prior to lifting off, the pilot must ensure he/she maintains control of the aircraft and comes to a stop on the remainder of the runway. The items in the checklist are listed to provide added safety after a failure of this type.
In case of a total loss of power, the best glide speed is 68 mph or 59 knots (IAS) with flaps up. The CC18-180 will glide 1.2 nautical miles for every 1000 feet of altitude loss. The rate of descent will be approximately 820 feet per minute.
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.4.4 EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT ENGINE POWER When you have located a suitable field, establish a spiral pattern around this field. Try to be at 1,000 feet above the field at the downwind position, to make a normal approach.
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES If the landing site is very rough, there is a possibility that the aircraft may come to rest inverted. Should this occur, once the aircraft has come to a stop, open the cabin door (if you have not already done so).
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.4.6 FIRE IN FLIGHT The presence of fire is noted through smoke, smell and heat in the cabin. Electrical fires are often accompanied by an acrid smell of burning insulation. Engine fires are very rare. The procedures outlined in the checklist are very general and pilot judgment should be the determining factor in the action to be taken.
Page 67
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.4.7 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE More often than not, a loss of oil pressure will be gradual. If it is accompanied by an increase in oil temperature, it is a sign that there is a problem with the engine’s oil system and the aircraft should be landed as soon as practical, as the engine may stop suddenly.
Page 68
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.4.9 EMERGENCY DESCENT An Emergency Descent should be initiated whenever a situation occurs at high altitude requiring a high rate of descent. This is done in order to minimize exposure of the crew and passengers to an uncontrolled fire or when...
Page 69
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.4.10 ALTERNATOR FAILURE Alternator output failure can be caused by a mechanical failure of the alternator, a momentary over voltage condition, a failed alternator drive belt or other reasons. A zero or negative reading on the ammeter may indicate alternator output failure and the discharge light will illuminate when the voltage drops below 12.6 volts.
Page 70
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 3.4.11 OVERVOLTAGE With the engine running, the alternator is capable of raising the bus voltage to dangerously high levels. The voltage regulator limits the bus voltage to between 13.5 and 15.3 volts. If the bus voltage rises above 15.3 volts, a bright red “High Volts”...
Page 71
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 3 CC18-180 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES 3.4.13 INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER Icing conditions are very difficult to predict. Aviation Weather Service may predict light, moderate or severe icing conditions at certain locations and altitudes and no icing will be encountered. On the other hand, icing conditions may not be forecast and any of the above levels of icing may occur.
Page 72
SECTION 3 CUB CRAFTERS EMERGENCY PROCEDURES CC18-180 CAUTION Ice accumulation on the wings and other airframe components will greatly increase the stall speed of the airplane and result in unpredictable flight characteristics. Ice accumulation over engine induction air inlet can cause engine roughness and/or loss of power.

SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 increase in RPM. When the carburetor heat is removed, the RPM may increase beyond 1700 RPM. Check all engine parameters. Apply an electrical load (for example, by switching on the pitot heat) and observe that there is an increase in the electrical current drawn from the alternator.
Page 97
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.4.3.2 Takeoff 4.4.3.2.1 Normal Takeoff The normal takeoff technique uses the first notch (22°) of flaps. Align on the runway and open the throttle. With the elevator in neutral, allow the tail to come up. At about 58 mph or 50 knots IAS, apply back pressure on the stick until the aircraft leaves the runway.
Page 98
SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 NOTE With a new engine, try to use 75% power as often as possible until either a total of 50 hours of operations have been accumulated or the oil consumption has stabilized. This will ensure that the piston rings seat correctly.
Page 99
SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.4.3.6.1 Normal Landing The normal landing in the CC18-180 is in a three-point stalled condition. Adjust throttle and pitch attitude to compensate for ground effect as the aircraft approaches the runway. At approximately 10 feet AGL, smoothly begin landing flare to attain a three-point attitude.
Page 100
SECTION 4 CUB CRAFTERS NORMAL PROCEDURES CC18-180 4.4.3.6.2 Cross-Wind Landing When established on a short final approach, use the ailerons and rudder to maintain the approach path. Lower the upwind wing using ailerons and use the rudder to hold runway alignment. At approximately 10 feet AGL, increase the pitch attitude to flare.
Page 101
CUB CRAFTERS SECTION 4 CC18-180 NORMAL PROCEDURES 4.4.3.7 Balked Landing (Go-Around) In a balked landing, apply full power. Slowly retract the flaps to the first notch (22°) and establish a positive rate of climb. Maintain climb speed. Trim as required.
