INFLIGHT ENGINE RESTART
7. INFLIGHT ENGINE RESTART
7.1. PROPELLER WINDMILLING
In case of engine shutdown, propeller will keep windmilling and will
not stop, preventing the use of ignition key. Engine inflight restart
must be performed without using ignition key until propeller is
windmilling in order to avoid possible engine damages.
Typical indication of a potential engine shutdown, with windmilling
propeller, will be RPM running sub-idle below 600-500 RPM, to be
confirmed by other engine instrument (OIL Pressure, CHT, EGT
running down abnormally).
Inflight engine restart may be performed during 1g flight anywhere
within the normal operating envelope of the airplane.
