3.7 Precautionary landing with engine power
If engine trouble is suspected and a suitable landing area is available execute a normal glide approach.
Assume that the engine may not produce any power.
If no suitable landing area is immediately available do not allow height to be lost whilst proceeding to a
more suitable area. Use the engine as required and available to maintain sufficient height to allow plenty
of time to execute a good emergency landing without power, should the engine fail completely.
In the case of precautionary landing for reasons other than engine trouble, for instance deteriorating
weather, remember the aircraft will fly slowly and safely with full flap deployed at approach speed, 54kt,
and will continue to fly down to stall speed at 35kt. Do not continue to fly at high speed if visibility is very
bad.
3.8 Fire in flight
Main fuel shut off valve OFF
Electric fuel pump OFF
Full throttle, (to burn the remaining fuel fast).
Maximum permissible airspeed to put out the flames.
Call MAYDAY
Follow emergency landing without engine power procedures.
3.9 Loss of oil pressure
Follow precautionary landing with engine power procedure.
3.10 High oil pressure
Follow precautionary landing with engine power procedure.
3.11 Emergency descent
Retract flap.
Close the throttle, establish a straight dive at V 96kt.
If conditions are smooth, this may be increased to close to V
NE
, 121kt.
As the required level is approached, begin to level out gently and resume normal flight.
3.12 Alternator failure
Follow precautionary landing with engine power procedure.
3.13 Overvoltage
Unless navigational or radio equipment is required, turn off master switch. Note there is a risk that
electronic equipment may fail due to the overvoltage condition.
Follow precautionary landing with engine power procedure.
