ATEC v.o.s. Libice nad Cidlinou, Czech Republic Page 18 of 56
3.1. Engine Failure on Take-off
1. Get the aircraft to gliding flight by pushing the stick forward maintaining the airspeed
of 100 km/h (54 kt).
2. Determine the wind direction, adjust flaps to appropriate position, close the fuel valve, switch-off
the ignition, adjust safety belts and switch off the master switch just before landing.
Note: Electric flaps actuation is only possible when the master switch is switched-on.
A) If altitude is below 50m (160ft), get the aircraft to landing configuration and make a landing in
take-off direction with respect to eventual obstructions.
B) If altitude is higher than 50m (160ft), choose a suitable area for emergency landing.
3.2. Engine Failure in Flight
1. Get the aircraft to gliding flight maintaining the airspeed of 100 km/h (54 kt).
2. Check the fuel level and make sure ignition is switched on.
3. Make sure that both LANE A and LANE B are switched on. Check the voltage on both LANES.
4. Check the fuel pressure. Must be within tolerated limits.
5. A) If no significant failure on engine or its installation found, try again to start up the engine,
proceed as follows:
• Fuel valve open for appropriate fuel tank in use
• Master switch switched-on
• START POWER switch on (in “START POSITION”)
• Throttle lever 50% open position (approx. 8mm from idle position)
• Fuel pump switch-on, wait until the fuel pressure reaches approx. 3 bar
• LANE A switch on
• LANE B switch on
• Check EMS indicators lights off (see the engine operations manual)
• Start button press and release after the engine reaches 1500 RPM or more; hold
(without interruption) for max. 10 sec.. The engine can be started even though the propeller
turns in flight because of windmilling. It is not necessary to wait for the standstill of the
propeller.
• START POWER switch off (in “FLIGHT POSITION”)
• Set the RPM up to requested power
B) If there is no voltage on LANE A and LANE B, proceed as follows:
• Fuel valve open for appropriate fuel tank in use
• Master switch switched-on
• BACK-UP BATTERY switch on
• Throttle lever 50% open position (approx. 8mm from idle position)
• Fuel pump switch-on, wait until the fuel pressure of approx. 3 bar.
• LANE A switch on
• LANE B switch on
• Check EMS indicators lights off (see the engine operations manual)
• Start button press and release after the engine reaches 1500 RPM or more; hold
(without interruption) for max. 10 sec.. The engine can be started even though the propeller
turns in flight because of windmilling. It is not necessary to wait for the standstill of the
propeller.
• Set the RPM up to requested power
