AMPLIFIED PROCEDURES
The following Amplified Procedures elaborate upon information
contained in the Operational Checklists portion of this section. These
procedures also include information not already adaptable to the
checklist format, and material to which a pilot could not be expected to
refer in resolution of a specific emergency.
NOTE
If a red or non-dimmable amber annunc ator ~lluminares at
night and becomes an unacceptable d straction to tne pilot
because of
its br~ghtness level. it may be extinguisned for
tne
rema nder of rhe fliaht bv ~ush na in on the face of tne
light assembly and
allohingsit'to popout. To reactivate the
annunciator, pull the light assembly out slightly and push
back in. For further details, refer to Section
7,
Annunciator
Panel.
ENGINE FAILURE
If an engine failure occurs during the takeoff roll, the most important
thing to do is stop the airplane on the remaining runway. Those extra
items on the checklist will provide added safety after a failure of this
type.
Prompt lowering of the nose to maintain airspeed and establish a glide
attitude is the first response to an engine failure after takeoff.
Feathering the propeller substantially reduces drag, thereby providing
increased glide distance. In most cases, the landing should be planned
straight ahead with only small changes in direction to avoid
obstructions. Altitude and airspeed are seldom sufficient to execute a
180"
gliding turn necessary to return to the runway. The checkl~st
procedures assume that adequate time exists to secure the fuel and
electrical systems prior to touchdown.
Atter an engine failure in flight, the best gl de speed as shown in Figure
3-1 should be established as
auiculv as Dossible Pro~eller featner nq is
dependent on existing circumstances and is at the discretion of
The
pilot. Maximum RPM selection will provide increased gas generator
windmilling speed for emergency restarts in the event of a starter
failure. On the other hand, to obtain the maximum glide, the propeller
must be feathered.
