3) Land as soon as practical as the battery will furnish electrical power for a limited time
only.
If only one circuit (e.g. Radio) appears to be inoperative, remove and replace the suspected
fuse with a spare of the same amperage rating. The ‘spare fuses are located above the regular
fuses in use.
NOTE
Engine operation is unaffected by a complete electrical system failure with the exception of the
engine starter.

Maintain flying speed at all times and do not attempt to
turn back toward the runway unless sufficient altitude
has been achieved.
ENGINE AIR RESTART
1) Maintain Airspeed -65 MPH minimum recommended
2) Magneto Switches - BOTH ON (Up)
