EPs 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.
ABORTED TAKEOFF
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.
- 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 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 ¼
- RIGHT MAGNETO ¬- OFF
- START BUTTON - PRESS UNTILL ENGINE FIRES
- MIXTURE - RICH WHEN ENGINE FIRES
- RIGHT MAGNETO - ON
CANOPY UNLOCKED DURING FLIGHT
Canopy warning light illuminates, the canopy audio signal sounds or it is obvious the canopy is not proper locked during flight.
- Airspeed - 80 KIAS
- Land - As soon as possible
CAUTION:
Do not touch the canopy lock handle until landing roll is complete
NOTE:
Avoid abrupt pitch changes and fly a straight in approach
STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
If structural damage occurs in flight (over-G, over-speed, birdstrike etc.) proceed as follows:
- Configuration - Do not change
- Land - As soon as practical
NOTE:
Fly a power on, straight in approach requiring minimum flare
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
TRIM MALFUNCTION
If experiencing runaway trim or any other trim malfunction:
Pitch trim C/B - Pull
Trim - Use manual trim wheel
Land - As soon as practical
PRESSURE INSTRUMENT MALFUNCTION
Pressure instruments malfunction:
- Alternate static air - On
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.
FORCED LANDING
- AIRSPEED - 80 KIAS
- LANDING AREA - SELECT
- IFF/SIF - EMERGENCY
- SEAT BELT - TIGHT AND LOCKED
- RADIO - MAYDAY CALL
- FUEL SELECTOR - OFF
- THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD
- 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.
ENGINE FIRE ON GROUND
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.
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 1. CABIN HEAT & VENT - OFF 2. FUEL SELECTOR - OFF 3. THROTTLE - FULL FORWARD 4. MAGNETOS - OFF 5. 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 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.
