Piper cherokee WARRIOR - ENGINE POWER LOSS DURING TAKEOFF; Takeoff Power Loss Actions

CHEROKEE
WARRIOR
EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES
INTRODUCTION
This section
contains
procedures
that are recommended if an emergency condition should
occur during
gound
operation,
takeoff, 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
judgment
and
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
here, 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
pilot
review
standard emergency
procedures
periodically
to remain
proficient
in
them.
ENGINE
POWER LOSS
DURING
TAKEOFF
The
proper
action to
be taken if loss
of
power
occurs during takeoff
will depend on
circumstances.
L If
sufficient runway remains
for
a
normal
landing,
land straight ahead.
2. If insufficient
runway remains,
maintain a
safe airspeed
and make only a shallow
turn
if necessary
to avoid obstructions.
Use of flaps
depends
on circumstances.
Normally,
flaps
should be fully
extended for
touchdown.
3. If
you
have
gained
sufficient
altitude to
attempt
a restart,
proceed
as
follows:
a. MAINTAIN
SAFE
AIRSPEED
b. FUEL SELECTOR
-
SWITCH TO
ANOTHER
TANK
CONTAINING
FUEL
c.
ELECTRIC
FUEL PUMP
-
CHECK
ON
d. MIXTURE
-
CHECK RICH
e.
CARBURETORHEAT-ON
NOTE
If engine failure was
caused by fuel exhaustion,
power
will not
be
rcgained
after tanks
are switched until empty
fuel lines are filled,
which
may require up
to ten seconds.
If
power
is not regained,
proceed
with
the
POWER
OFF
LANDING
procedure.
