Emergency Procedures

This section outlines the steps to take in the event of an engine failure in flight. Pilots are instructed to maintain a blue line airspeed of 85 knots, set mixtures and props full forward, and ensure the gear and flaps are up. The checklist emphasizes identifying the dead foot and dead engine, verifying throttle closure on the dead engine, and following subsequent steps for propeller feathering and shutting down the engine.

Troubleshoot

In case of engine issues, this section provides a troubleshooting checklist. Key actions include turning the fuel selector on, applying carburetor heat, adjusting the mixture, and checking fuel pressure and quantity. Pilots are advised to check oil pressure and temperature, as well as cowl flaps, to ensure proper engine function.

Engine Shut-Down

This section details the procedure for shutting down the engine safely. It includes steps such as reducing throttle to idle, feathering the propeller, and turning off the fuel selector and fuel pump. The checklist also instructs pilots to switch off the magnetos and alternator.

Accumulator Restart

This section provides instructions for restarting the engine using the accumulator. Key steps include ensuring the fuel is on, setting the throttle to idle, and turning on the alternator and fuel pump. The checklist specifies that the airspeed should be above 100 knots before attempting to restart.

Emergency Descent

In the event of an emergency descent, this section advises pilots to set the propellers full forward and throttle to idle, maintaining an airspeed of 140 knots. It also instructs to lower the landing gear.
