SECTION IV
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This section
contains
procedures
that are
recommended if
an
emergency condition
should occur during
ground
operation,
take-off,
or
in
flight.
These procedures are suggested
as
the best
course of action
for coping
with the particular condition
described,
but are
not a
substitute for sound
judgementand common sense.
Since emergencies
rarely
happen
in
modern
aircraft,
their
occurrence is
usually
unexpected,
and
the best
corrective action
may
not
always
be obvious. Pilots should
familiarize
themselves with the procedures given in this section and be
prepared
to take appropriate action should
an
emergency
arise.
Most
basic
emergency procedures, such
as power
off
landings,
are
a
part of
normal
pilot
training.
Although
these
emergencies are
discussed
herein,
this
information
is not intended
to
replace such
training,
but
only
to provide
a source of reference
and review, and
to
provide
information
on procedures
which are not
the same for all
aircraft. It is
suggested
that the
pilots
review standard emergency
procedures
periodically
to remain
proficient
in them.
GROUND
OPERATIONS
ENGINE
FIRE DURING
START
Engine
fires
during
start
are
usually
the
result
of over
priming. The procedures
below
are designed
to
draw the excess
fuel back
into the
induction
system:
1. If engine has not
started:
a.
Mixture
-
Idle
cut-off
b.
Throttle
-
Open
c. Turn engine
with
starter (This is an attempt
to pull
the
fire into
the
engine.)
2. If engine has
already
started and is
running,
continue
operating
to try pulling the
fire
into
the
engine.
