EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
Static Source Blockage (IFR) Checklist 3.5
If erroneous readings of the static source instruments (aispeed, altimeter
and vertical speed) are suspected, the alternate static source valve, on the
left side of instrument panel, should be opened to supply static pressure
from the cabin to these instruments. With the alternate static source on,
adjust indicated airspeed slightly during climb or approach according to
the Airspeed Calibration (Alternate Static Source) table in section 5 as
page 5.11 appropriate for vent configuration, causing the aircraft to be
flownwithinthenormal operating speed limits.
Spin Recovery Procedure Checklist 3.5 p
Cause of inadvertent spins is usually the result of heavy or insensitive
controlinputs. The spin recovery is unproblematic with the SA 160.
Once the spin is recognized: first move the throttle to idle and the
ailerons to neutral. Stop the rotation of the aircraft by applying the
rudder full opposite to the direction of yaw. At the same time move
the control stick forward up until the elevator is approx. in neutral
position,toreducetheangleofattacktosubcriticalvalues.
When the rotation stops, neutralize the rudder and make a smooth
recovery from the resulting dive increasing engine power as
required.
