AIRSTART
If an airstart is to be attempted, the checklist procedures should be followed.
The Starter Assisted procedure is the preferred method since it results in
cooler starting temperatures. Successful starter assisted airstarts may be
accomplished at all normal operating airspeeds, and up to an altitude of
16,000 feet. If the engine starter is inoperative, follow the Not Starter Assisted
Airstart checklist.
SMOKE AND FIRE
In the event of re or smoke in the cabin, the following information will be of
assistance in dealing with the emergency as quickly and safely as possible.
The preight checklist in “Section 4” of this manual is provided as an aid to
the pilot in detecting conditions which could possibly lead to an aircraft re.
Fires require a combustible material, oxygen and a source of ignition. Close
attention should be given during the preight inspection to locate potential re
hazards, especially in the engine compartment and underside of the wing and
fuselage. Leaks in the fuel or oil systems can lead to a ground or in-ight re.
WARNING: Do not attempt to y the aircraft with known fuel or oil leaks.
The presence of fuel or unusual oil stains may be an indication of system
leaks and should be remedied prior to ight.
CAUTION:
• It takes approximately 15 seconds and 300 feet in altitude to
accomplish a starter assisted airstart (using the HI-START feature)
when established in a glide at 97 KIAS, with the propeller feathered.
• When starting the engine, if a rise in
and ITT are not indicated
within 10 seconds, bring the fuel condition lever into the CUTOFF
position and abort the start. Refer to the “Engine Failure During Flight”
and “Power Off Emergency Landing” checklists.
• Do not attempt a “Not Starter Assisted Airstart” with 0%
