Section 3 – Emergency procedures
POWERPLANT EMERGENCIES
6.5. CHT LIMIT EXCEEDANCE
If CHT exceeds maximum limit (500°F):
1. Throttle Lever ……………. REDUCE power as practical
2. Mixture Lever ……………. Rich as required
3. CHT ……………………… Verify decreasing
If CHT stabilizes in the green arc:
4. Continue flight
If CHT continue to rise and engine shows roughness:
Land as soon as possible applying forced landing procedures (See Para 11)
6.6. OIL TEMPERATURE LIMIT EXCEEDANCE
If oil temperature exceeds maximum limit (245°F):
Maximum oil temperature limit exceedance can be the final effect
of different causes: excessive friction between moving engine
components, oil leakage from the circuit (with related pressure
reduction) etc.
if oil temperature does not decrease:
If oil temperature does not come back within limits:
6. Land as soon as practical with engine set to the minimum necessary
power
If engine roughness, vibrations, erratic behaviour or high CHT is detected:
Land as soon as possible applying forced landing procedure (See Para 11)
