Q

ABORTED TAKEOFF

A

Major reasons for ABORTED TAKEOFF:

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.

  1. THROTTLE - IDLE
  2. BRAKES - AS REQUIRED

If necessary:

  1. Mixture - Cut off
  2. Switches - off
  3. Fuel selector - off

NOTE:
With obstacles ahead and insufficient braking action, ground loop aircraft.

  8. MAGNETOS - OFF

Adjust bank and key positions throughout the pattern to compensate for wind, using a maximum of 45* bank.

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 (1.5 nm/1000’) maintain 80 kts.

Q

ELECTRICAL FIRE

A
  1. GENERATOR - OFF
  2. BATTERY - OFF
  3. Land - As soon as possible

If fire and/or smoke continues
4. EPU battery - Off

If necessary for continued flight

  1. Unnecessary equipment - Off
  2. Battery - On

NOTE:
The electrical EMERGENCY POWER UNIT (EPU) will supply sufficient power to the ST-BY ATTITUDE INDICATOR, the VHF-2 COM RADIO and 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.

Q

ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF

A

A. DURING TAKEOFF - ABORT

B. DURING INITIAL CLIMB

  1. NOSE - LOWER
  2. FLAPS - AS DESIRED
  3. 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.

17
Q

ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT

A

If unable to maintain safe altitude, execute BAIL-OUT, FORCED LANDING OR DITCHING.

  1. AIRSPEED - 80 KIAS
  2. FLAPS - UP
  3. MAGNETOS - BOTH ON
  4. AUXILIARY FUEL PUMP - ON
  5. FUEL SELECTOR - BOTH ON
  6. MIXTURE - RICH
  7. ALTERNATE AIR - PULL

NOTE:
If engine has stopped and time permits, execute appropriate ENGINE AIRSTART.

18
Q

OIL SYSTEM FAILURE

A

Oil pressure warning light illuminates and/or low oil pressure indication.

  1. RPM & POWER - LOWEST PRACTICAL
  2. Land - As soon as possible (or practical if oil press is above 25 PSI)

NOTE:
Reduction of power and minimizing G-forces will generally prolong engine operating time, prior to complete engine failure.

In case of total oil pressure loss the propeller blades move into coarse pitch (low RPM), and thereby reduce available power.

19
Q

GENERATOR FAILURE

A

GEN caution light illuminates

  1. EPU switch - Check on
  2. Generator switch - Off
  3. Unnecessary electrical equipment - Off
  4. 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:

  1. Generator field C/B - Pull
  2. Generator switch - On
  3. 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 busses 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.

20
Q

TIRE/BRAKE FAILURE

A

If time permits consider reducing fuel load before attempting to land.

Main wheel tire failure during take off run or landing roll - Avoid braking flat tire if possible.

Nose wheel tire failure - Avoid braking if possible, and keep nose high

NOTE:
With one main tire flat, land on the side on the RWY corresponding to the good tire. If main tire thread separation occurs, the brake line may be damaged, resulting in inoperative brakes.

NOTE:
With one brake inoperative avoid braking. If braking is necessary land on the side of the runway corresponding to the inoperative brake.
