ENGINE FAILURE AFTER LIFT-OFF AND
IN
FLIGHT
An immediate landing is advisable regardless of take-off
weight. Continued flight can not be assured if take-off weight
exceeds the weight determined from the TAKE-OFF
WEIGHT graph. Higher take-off weights will result in a loss of
altitude while retracting the landing gear and feathering the
propeller. Continued flight requires immediate pilot response
to the following procedures:
1.
Landing Gear and Flaps - UP
2. Throttle (inoperative engine) - IDLE
3. Propeller (inoperative engine) - FEATHER
4. Power (operative engine) - AS REQUIRED
5. Airspeed -
AT
OR
ABOVE THE 50-FT TAKE-OFF
.SPEED (80 KNOTS)
After
positive
control
of
the airplane is established:
6. Secure inoperative engine:
a.
Mixture Control - IDLE CUT-OFF
b.
Fuel Selector - OFF
c.
Aux Fuel Pump - OFF
d. Magneto/Start Switch - OFF
e.
Alternator Switch - OFF
f.
Cowl Flap - CLOSE
7. Airspeed - ESTABLISH 85 KTS
8. Electrical Load - MONITOR (Maximum load
of
100% on
remaining engine)
NOTE
The
most
important aspect of engine failure
is
the necessity
to
maintain lateral and directional
control.
If
airspeed is below 65 knots, reduce
power
on
operative
engine as required
to
maintain
control.
Refer
to
the
SAFETY
INFORMATION
section
for
additional
information regarding pilot technique.
