Q

ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT

A
  1. Mixture– IDLE CUT OFF.
  2. Fuel Shutoff Valve– Pull Out (OFF).
  3. Auxiliary Fuel Pump Switch– OFF.
  4. Master Switch– OFF.
  5. Cabin Heat and Air– OFF (except overhead
    vents).
  6. Airspeed – 100 KIAS (If fire is not extinguished,
    increase glide speed to find an airspeed - within
    airspeed limitations - which will provide an
    incombustible mixture).
  7. Forced Landing – EXECUTE (as described in
    Emergency Landing Without Engine Power).

Q

ICING

A

INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
1. Turn pitot heat switch ON.
2. Turn back or change altitude to obtain an
outside air temperature that is less conducive to
icing.
3. Pull cabin heat control full out and open
defroster outlets to obtain maximum windshield
defroster airflow. Adjust cabin air control to get
maximum defroster heat and airflow.
4. Watch for signs of engine-related icing conditions.
An unexplained loss in engine speed could be
caused by ice blocking the air intake filter, or, in
extremely rare instances, ice completely blocking
the fuel injection air reference tubes. Change the
throttle position to obtain maximum RPM. This
may require either advancing or retarding the
throttle, dependent on where ice has accumulated
in the system. Adjust mixture, as required, for
maximum RPM.
5. Plan a landing at the nearest airport. With an
extremely rapid ice build up, select a suitable “off
airport” landing site.
6. With an ice accumulation of 1/4 inch or more on
the wing leading edges, be prepared for
significantly higher stall speed and a longer
landing roll.
7. Leave wing flaps retracted. With a severe ice build
up on the horizontal tail, the change in wing wake
airflow direction caused by wing flap extension could
result in a loss of elevator effectiveness.
8. Open left window and, if practical, scrape ice from
a portion of the windshield for visibility in the landing
approach.
9. Perform a landing approach using a forward slip, if
necessary, for improved visibility.
10.Approach at 65 to 75 KIAS depending upon the
amount of the accumulation.
11.Perform a landing in level attitude.

Q

LOW VOLTAGE ANNUNCIATOR (VOLTS)

ILLUMINATES DURING FLIGHT

A

NOTE
Illumination of “VOLTS” on the annunciator panel may
occur during low RPM conditions with an electrical load
on the system such as during a low RPM taxi. Under
these conditions, the annunciator will go out at higher
RPM. The master switch need not be recycled since
an overvoltage condition has not occurred to deactivate
the alternator system.
1. Avionics Master Switch– OFF.
2. Alternator Circuit Breaker (ALT FLD) –CHECK IN.
3. Master Switch– OFF (both sides).
4. Master Switch – ON.
5. Low Voltage Annunciator (VOLTS) –CHECK OFF.
6. Avionics Master Switch– ON.
If low voltage annunciator (VOLTS) illuminates again:
7. Alternator– OFF.
8. Nonessential Radio and Electrical Equipment–
OFF.
9. Flight– TERMINATE as soon as practical.
