Oil

Question 1

LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE (1W : 1N)

Answer 1

1. THROTTLE - IDLE
2. PROPELLER - FULL INCREASE
3. THROTTLE - AS REQUIRED (maximum 2800 RPM)
   Note: With 17-18” MAP, propeller full increase and 80-85 KIAS oil is not used to govern the RPM. Use throttle to maintain/control the engine RPM below the governed range. A low rate of climb may be achieved.
4. ENGINE - MONITOR
5. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE USING MINIMUM PRACTICABLE POWER
   Warning: If a total of oil pressure and illumination of oil pressure light is associated with zero RPM indication, the oil pump has failed. Experience has shown that after a total loss of oil pressure, mechanical failure can occur within five minutes and a forced landing must be planned immediately.
