3.3.6.2 ELECTRICAL FIRE IN FLIGHT
IDENTIFY and ISOLATE Faulty Circuit
WARNING: After discharging extinguisher within closed cabin, open
sliding canopies to ventilate cabin.
Carry out an emergency landing at the nearest appropriate
airport/waterway or landing ground.
If the fire persists, sideslip away from the flames. Instruct passenger as
necessary. Proceed to an early landing.
Do not turn the generator off in flight, except in an emergency.
3.3.7 LOSS OF OIL PRESSURE
If low oil pressure is accompanied by normal oil temperature, there is a
possibility the oil pressure gauge or relief valve is malfunctioning. If the
condition persists a landing at the nearest airport would be advisable to
inspect the source of trouble.
If a total loss of oil pressure is accompanied by a rise in oil temperature,
there is every reason to suspect an engine failure is imminent. Reduce
engine power immediately and select a suitable forced landing field, using
only the minimum amount of power application to carry out the landing.
3.3.8 HIGH OIL PRESSURE
If a reduction in power does not
help
Perform a precautionary landing
