ABNORMAL & EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

Engine Fire During Start1. Starter ..................... crank engine2. Mixture ........................ idle cutoff3. Throttle ................................ open4. Electric fuel pump ................. OFF5. Fuel selector .......................... OFF6. Abandon if fire continues

Engine Power Loss During Takeoff1. If sufficient runway remains for a

normal landing

2. Land straight ahead.

If insufficient runway remains:1. Maintain safe airspeed2. Make only shallow turns to avoid

obstructions3. Flaps as situations requires

If sufficient altitude has been gained to attempt a restart:1. Maintain safe airspeed .....VGLIDE 76

KIAS2. Fuel selector . . . switch tanks (with

fuel)3. Electric fuel pump ........ check ON4. Mixture ...................... check RICH5. Carburetor heat ...................... ON6. If power is not regained, proceed

with power off landing

Engine Power Loss in Flight1. Fuel selector . . . switch tanks (with

fuel)2. Electric fuel pump ................... ON3. Mixture ................................. RICH4. Carburetor heat ...................... ON5. Engine gauges .................... checkIf no fuel pressure is indicated, check tank selector position to be sure it is on a tank containing fuel.When power is restored:



1. Carburetor heat ..................... OFF2. Electric fuel pump ................. OFFIf power is not restored, prepare for power off landing.

Power off Landing1. Trim for 76 KIAS2. Locate suitable field3. Establish spiral pattern4. 1000 feet above field at

downwind position for normal landing approach

5. When field can be easily reached, slow to 66 KIAS for shortest landing

6. Touchdown should normally be made at lowest possible airspeed with full flaps

When committed to landing:1. Flaps ............................ as desired2. Throttle ............................... Close3. Mixture ........................ idle cutoff4. Magnetos ............................... OFF5. Battery master switch ........... OFF6. Alternator switch ................... OFF7. Fuel selector .......................... OFF8. Seat belt and harness .......... tightFire in Flight1. Source of fire ...................... check

Electrical fire (smoke in cabin):1. Battery master switch ........... OFF2. Alternator switch ................... OFF

3. Vents ................................... open4. Cabin heat ............................. OFF5. Land as soon as practicable

Engine Fire:1. Fuel selector .......................... OFF2. Throttle ........................... CLOSED3. Mixture ........................ idle cutoff4. Electric fuel pump ....... check OFF5. Heater/defroster .................... OFF6. Proceed with power off landing

procedure

Loss of Oil Pressure1. Land as soon as possible and

investigate cause. 2. Prepare for a power off landing.

Loss of Fuel Pressure1. Electric fuel pump.................... ON2. Fuel selector .... check on full tank

High Oil Temperature1. Land at nearest airport and

investigate the problem. 2. Prepare for a power off landing.

Alternator Failure1. Verify failure



2. Reduce electrical load as much as possible

3. Alternator circuit breakers ...check4. Alt switch .OFF(for 1 second), then

ONIf no output:1. Alt switch ................................OFFReduce electrical load and land as soon as practical

Spin Recovery1. Rudder ............ full opposite of

rotation2. Yoke ..................... full forward3. Ailerons ...................... neutral4. Throttle ............................ idle5. Rudder ...... neutral (when spin

stops)6. Yoke ...... as required to regain

level flight

Open DoorIf both upper and side latches are open, the door will trail slightly open and airspeeds will be reduced slightly.

To close the door in flight:1. Slow airspeed ............ 87 KIAS2. Cabin vents .................... close3. Storm window ................ open

If upper latch is open .......... latch

If side latch is open ......... pull on armrest while moving latch handle to latched position

If both latches are open . . secure side latch then top latch

Carburetor Icing1. Carburetor heat ...................... ON2. Mixture ................. adjust for max

smoothness

Engine Roughness1. Carburetor heat ...................... ON

If roughness continues after one minute:1. Carburetor heat ..................... OFF2. Mixture ................. adjust for max

smoothness3. Electric fuel pump ................... ON4. Fuel selector ............ switch tanks5. Engine gauges .................... check6. Magneto switch ... check Left then

RightIf operation is satisfactory on either one, continue on that magneto at



reduced power and full “RICH”

mixture to first airport.Prepare for power off landing.
