5. OTHER EMERGENCIES
5.1. EMERGENCY DESCENT
Descent with airspeed at VLE, idle power and gear down will pro-
vide high descent rates and pitch attitudes up to -15
°
.
Anticipate altitude capture and return to level flight during emer-
gency descent in order to assure a safe and smooth recovery from
maneuver.
1. Power levers IDLE
2. Flaps UP
3. IAS below VLO/VLE
4. Landing gear DOWN
5. Airspeed Up to VLO/VLE
5.2. TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE
In case of electrical system overall failure, apply following procedure:
1. Emergency light ON if necessary
2. Standby attitude indicator switch ON
3. MASTER SWITCH OFF
4. FIELD LH and RH BOTH OFF
5. MASTER SWITCH ON
6. FIELD LH and RH BOTH ON
If failure persists
9. EMERG BATT switch ON (if engine starting battery
installed)
10. Land as soon as possible applying emergency landing gear extension
procedure (see Para. 7.1)
An electrical system overall failure prevents flaps operation:
landing distance without flaps increases of about 25%.
A fully charged battery can supply electrical power for at least 30
minutes.
