Engine Fire Drills
- “Is the fire out? Has the prop stopped?”
CLOSE throttle, PITCH UP 5 degrees
[5 seconds]
- “Is the fire out? Has the prop stopped?”
FULL flap, EMERGENCY descent 100kt, MAYDAY
- “Is the fire out?”
RETRACT flaps, 80kts forced landing

Rough running engine
- overall flow

1) Trim for 80kts & turn into wind
2) Restart flow (e.g. rough running engine, not for fire or “BANG - OIL!”)

If engine stops, attempt RESTART.

Look to make PAN PAN call and divert if altitude can be maintained.
Otherwise switch to catastrophic engine failure flow.

EFATO flow

1) Trim for 80kt 2) ID a field 3) Gear down

Emergency Gear Down flow

Check BAT/ALT switches on Check gear down Check circuit breakers Check NAV light switch (daytime) Check individual bulbs (swap?) Follow checklist for emergency

Vacuum light comes on

Check Vacuum pump reading Check AI operation Operate ALT VAC if appropriate Divert

Low voltage light comes on

Reduce electrical load Check fuses Consider PAN and diversion

Alternator Light comes on

CHECKLIST

Fuel pressure low

Fuel pump on Switch to fullest tank

High oil temp or low oil pressure

If oil pressure is ok but temp is high, try to reduce temp by reducing throttle, RICH MIXTURE. If this fails, divert with minimum throttle. If oil pressure is a bit low divert to nearest airfield, if it heads to zero or engine becomes rough - emergency landing.

Blocked pitot tube

Turn on pitot heat Disregard airspeed indications

Cabin door open
