Piper CHEROKEE 180 - Loss of Fuel Pressure; High Oil Temperature; Alternator Failure

CHEROKEE 180
may stop
suddenly.
Maintain
altitude until
such time
as a
dead
stick
landing
can
be
accomplished. Don't change power settings
unnecessarily,
as this
may
hasten
complete power
loss.
Depending on the
circumstances,
it may be advisable to
make
an
off
airport landing
while power
is
still
available,
particularly
if
other
indications
of actual oil pressure loss,
such
as
sudden increase
in
temperatures,
or
oil smoke,
are
apparent,
and an airport
is not
close.
If engine
stoppage
occurs, proceed to
POWER
OFF LANDING.

If problem is
not
an empty
fuel tank, land
as soon as practicable,
and have
engine driven fuel pump checked.
HIGH
OIL
TEMPERATURE
An
abnormally
high
oil
temperature
indication
may be caused by a
low oil
level,
an obstruction in the
oil
cooler, damaged
or
improper
baffle
seals, a
defective gauge,
or other
causes. Land
as
soon
as
practicable
at
an appropriate
airport and
have
the cause investigated.
A
steady
rapid
rise
in oil temperature
is a
sign
of
trouble. Land
at
the
nearest airport
and
let
a mechanic
investigate the problem. Watch
the oil pressure
gauge for
an accompanying
loss
of
pressure.
ALTERNATOR FAILURE
Loss of alternator
output is detected through
a
zero
reading
on the
ammeter. Before
executing
the
following
procedure,
insure that the
reading is zero
and
not merely low
by actuating
an
electrically
powered
device, such as
the
landing light.
If
no increase
in
the ammeter
reading
is
noted, alternator
failure
can be assumed.
