SECTION 3
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
out-of-balance propeller is suspected, immediately shut down engine and
perform Emergency Landing procedure.
If a partial engine failure permits level flight, land at a suitable airfield as soon
as possible. If conditions do not permit safe level flight, use partial power as
necessary to set up a emergency landing pattern over a suitable landing
field. Always be prepared for a complete engine failure and consider BPRS
deployment if a suitable landing site is not available.
WARNING: If there is a strong smell of fuel in the cockpit, divert to the
nearest suitable landing field. Fly an emergency landing pattern and shut
down the engine fuel supply once a safe landing is assured.
The following procedure provides guidance to determine and correct some
of the conditions contributing to a rough running engine or a partial power
loss:
1 Throttle Lever SWEEP
Move the Throttle Lever through the complete range to obtain the best
operation possible.
2 MAG L / MAG R Switches
Check single MAG switch
operation
Cycling the ignition switch momentarily from both ON to only MAG L ON and
then to only MAG R ON may help identify the problem. An obvious power
loss in single ignition operation indicates ignition system or spark plug
trouble. Return switches to both ON position unless extreme roughness
dictates the use of a single ignition circuit.
3 Land AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
3.4.5 LOW OIL PRESSURE
If low oil pressure is accompanied by a rise in oil temperature, the engine
has probably lost a significant amount of its oil and engine failure may be
imminent. Immediately reduce engine power to idle and select a suitable
field for emergency landing.
