(10) ELECTRIC MASTER.............................................. START
(release when engine running)
Note: By increasing the airspeed above
approximately 115KIAS, the propeller will
begin to rotate due to windmilling and the
engine can thus be started. For this, the
ELECTRIC MASTER should be set to ON
(see 3.2.4 - RESTARTING THE ENGINE
WITH WINDMILLING PROPELLER of this
supplement). A loss of altitude of at least
1000 ft (300 meters) must be expected.
If it is not possible to start the engine:
- adopt glide configuration
- carry out emergency landing
Refer to basic AFM
CAUTION: Engine restart following an engine fire
should only be attempted if it is unlikely that
a safe emergency landing can be made. It
must be expected that engine restart is
impossible after an engine fire.
