Engine Failure During Flight (Restart Procedures)
Checklist 3.5 c
Sudden and complete engine power loss is usually the result of fuel
flow interruption. Power should be restored shortly after fuel flow is
restored.
If power loss occurs at low altitude, the first step is to prepare for an
emergency landing. Promptly establish a glide attitude and secure
the speed for best gliding angle (74 KIAS). Trim the aircraft and look
forafieldsuitableforlanding.
If altitude permits, move the mixture control to RICH and check the
auxiliary fuel pump and, if required, switch to ON. It supports the
fuel supply to the engine if the engine driven fuel pump has failed.
Switch the carburetor heat to ON. Check to ensure the ignition
switchisin"BOTH" position.
At airspeeds below 75 KIAS the propeller can stop (no
autorotation).
In this event increase the airspeed to autorotation or turn ignition
When performing an off field landing, damage (possible collision
with obstacles and even overturning) cannot be excluded. Seat belts
andharnesses mustbetighttoreducethepossibilityofinjury.
In order to reduce the danger of a short circuit and /or fire, the fuel
supply to the engine should cut off and the electrical system turned
off. Cut off the fuel supply by moving the Mixture control to the
position IDLE CUT-OFF and the fuel valve to OFF. Turn off the ALT /
BATswitchandtheignitionswitch.
