Engine Fire During Start
In the event of an engine fire during start, the checklist instructs the pilot to crank the engine continuously while setting the mixture to idle cut-off and the throttle to full open. The fuel selector should be turned off, and the magnetos should be switched off.
Engine Power Loss: Immediately After Takeoff
If there is a power loss immediately after takeoff, the pilot should turn off the master switch, maintain an airspeed of 75 MPH (70 MPH with 40º flaps), set the mixture to idle cut-off, and turn the fuel selector off.
Fire In Flight (Electrical Fire)
In case of an electrical fire in flight, the pilot should turn off the master switch and all electrical switches, turn off the heater, and close air vents. If the fire is due to engine issues, the pilot should establish an emergency descent.
Electrical Overload
If the OVER VOLTAGE light illuminates, the pilot should turn off the master switch and then turn it back on. If the light comes on again, reduce electrical load and land as soon as practical.
Alternator Failure
In the event of alternator failure indicated by a continuous discharge rate, the alternator switch should be turned off, electrical load reduced, and the pilot should land as soon as practical.
