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.
If the engine has not already started, the mixture must be
moved to cut-off and the throttle opened fully before
cranking the engine.
If the engine starts, and fire goes out within a few
seconds, run it at 1700 rpm for a few minutes.
If the fire continues for more than a few seconds, it
should be extinguished by the best available external
means.
WARNING
IF A FIRE IS ON THE GROUND, UNDER THE
AIRPLANE, DUE TO OVER-PRIMING, AND THE
ENGINE HAS STARTED, TAXI AWAY FROM THE
FIRE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A FIRE IS ON
THE GROUND BUT ENGINE HAS NOT STARTED,
ABANDON THE AIRPLANE IMMEDIATELY.
In either case, have the aircraft inspected thoroughly by a
qualified mechanic to ensure that it is airworthy prior to
any further flights.
