EP Flashcards
GROUND EGRESS?
- PERSONAL EQUIPMENT - DISCONNECT
- BRAKES - RELEASE
- CANOPY/DOOR - OPEN
- AIRCRAFT - ABANDON
Note:
If fire, obstructed canopy or overturned aircraft make normal escape from the front seats impossible, either fold backrest and leave through rear door or use canopy breaker in order to escape through the canopy
ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND?
- FUEL SELECTOR - OFF
- THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD
- ENGINE - CRANK (if not running)
- BATTERY - OFF
- EPU - OFF
- MAGNETOS - OFF
- GROUND EGRESS - EXECUTE
Note:
Use aircraft fire extinguisher, if deemed effective.
ABORTED TAKE-OFF?
Major reasons for ABORTED TAKE-OFF:
Complete or partial loss of power. Fire or overheat indication. Tire failure. Fuel flow zero. Other abnormal readings or functions such as low manifold pressure, low RPM, rough engine operation etc. misjudgment of available take-off distance.
- THROTTLE - IDLE
- BRAKES - AS REQUIRED
If necessary
- MIXTURE - CUT OFF
- SWITCHES - OFF
- FUEL SELECTOR - OFF
Note:
With obstacles ahead and insufficient braking action, ground loop aircraft.
ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKE-OFF?
A. DURING TAKE-OFF - ABORT
B. DURING INITIAL CLIMB
- NOSE - LOWER
- FLAPS - AS DESIRED
- LAND - AHEAD
Warning:
Never try to turn back to the runway.
Note:
Slight course deviation in order to avoid obstacles are allowable, airspeed permitting.
If time permits, continue FORCED LANDING.
ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT?
If unable to maintain safe altitude, execute BAIL-OUT, FORCED LANDING OR DITCHING.
- AIRSPEED - 80 KIAS
- FLAPS - UP
- MAGNETOS - BOTH ON
- AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP - ON
- FUEL SELECTOR - BOTH ON
- MIXTURE - RICH
- ALTERNATE AIR - PULL
Note:
If engine has stopped and time permits, execute appropiate ENGINE AIRSTART.
ENGINE AIRSTART, PROP ROTATING?
- MIXTURE - CUT OFF
- THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD after 3-5 seconds pull back to 1/4 open.
- MIXTURE - RICH
ENGINE AIRSTART, PROP STOPPED?
- MIXTURE - CUT OFF
- THROTTLE - OPEN 1/4
- RIGHT MAGNETO - OFF
- START BUTTON - PRESS UNTIL ENGINE FIRES
- MIXTURE - RICH WHEN ENGINE FIRES
- RIGHT MAGNETO - ON
SMOKE OR FUMES IN COCKPIT OR POSITIVE CO INDICATION?
- CABIN HEAT & VENT - OFF
- FRESH AIR SCOOPS - OPEN
- LAND - AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Continue Engine Fire In Flight or Electrical Fire as applicable.
ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT?
A. FIRE CONFIRMED
- CABIN HEAT & VENT - OFF
- FUEL SELECTOR - OFF
- THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD
- MAGNETOS - OFF
- EXECUTE BAIL-OUT, FORCED LANDING OR DITCHING - AS APPLICABLE
Warning:
Do not attempt to restart.
B. FIRE NOT CONFIRMED
1. LAND - AS SOON AS PRACTICAL
ELECTRICAL FIRE?
- GENERATOR - OFF
- BATTERY - OFF
- LAND - AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
If fire and/or smoke continues
4. EPU battery - Off
If necessary for continued flight
- Unnecessary equipment - Off
- Battery - On
Note:
The electrical EMERGENCY POWER UNIT (EPU) will supply sufficient power to the ST-BY ATTITUDE INDICATOR, the VHF-2 COM and the MAP LIGHTS for approximately 2 hours.
Note:
If equipment on the secondary bus is necessary for completion of flight the generator must be switched on.
OIL SYSTEM FAILURE?
Oil pressure warning light illuminates and/or low oil pressure indication.
- RPM & POWER - LOWEST PRACTICAL
- LAND - As soon as possible (or practical if oil press is above 25 psi)
Note:
Reducation of power and minimizing G forces will generally prolong the engine operating time, prior to complete engine failure.
In case of total oil pressure loss the propeller blades more into coarse pitch (low RPM), and thereby reduce available power.
GENERATOR FAILURE?
GEN caution light illuminates
- EPU SWITCH - CHECK ON
- GENERATOR SWITCH - OFF
- UNNECESSARY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT - OFF
- IF IMC - LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Note:
Switching the generator switch OFF disconnects the secondary bus. If equipment from the secondary bus is needed for completion of flight, proceed as follows:
- GENERATOR FIELD C/B - PULL
- GENERATOR SWITCH - ON
- LAND - AS SOON AS PRACTICAL
Note:
Pulling Generator Field C/B disconnects the Generator from the electrical system. The aircraft main battery will thereafter supply electrical power to the primary and secondary electrical buses if the generator switch is on, for a period of approximately 30 minutes, where the duration of the period depends upon:
a) Battery capacity and condition
b) Electrical load on primary and secondary busses
c) Battery temperature
Note:
EMERGENCY POWER UNIT (EPU) will under normal circumstances supply sufficient electrical power to the Emergency Bus for a period of at least 2 hours, time taken from the time when the generator stopped supplying electrical power.
Warning:
If electrical Failure occurs during IMC, attempt to obtain VMC as soon as possible. If VMC is not obtainable, land as soon as possible.
FORCED LANDING?
- AIRSPEED - 80 KIAS
- LANDING AREA - SELECT
- IFF/SIF - EMERGENCY
- SEAT BELT - TIGHT & LOCKED
- RADIO - MAYDAY CALL
- FUEL SELECTOR - OFF
- THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD
- MAGNETOS - OFF
Caution:
Aim to join the forced landing pattern on one of the key positions, taking the prevailing wind into consideration.
Note:
For max. glide distance (1.5nm/1000’¨) maintain 80 kts
DITCHING?
- FORCED LANDING CHECK - COMPLETE
- CREW - WARN
Just before ditching:
3. CANOPY/DOOR - OPEN
After ditching:
4. AIRCRAFT - ABANDON
Warning:
Do not inflate life jacket until clear of aircraft.
The SARBE must be activated manually.
Caution:
To eliminate the possibility of being trapped inside the aircraft, which is likely to flip inverted, select deeper rather than shallow water.
Note:
Ditch aircraft upwind in a full stall attitude, but in heavy sea along and on falling side of waves.
EPU BATTERY MALFUNCTION?
EPU BATTERY malfunction is indicated by inoperative ST-BY ATTITUDE INDICATOR, VHF-2 COM radio and map lights.
- EPU switch - Check on
If EPU switch is on and the items above still are inoperative:
- EPU switch - Off
- Land - As soon as practical
