Forced landing Execute as described. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 15 ELECTRICAL FIRE If fire is in engine compartment: Master switch Off Vents, cabin air and cabin heat Off Land aeroplane as soon as possible. If fire is in cockpit: Master switch Off All other switches Off except for ignition switch Vents, cabin air and cabin heat Off Fire extinguisher If activated open the canopy to ventilate cabin area. If fire appears to be out and electrical power is necessary to continue flight: Master switch On Circuits Check for faulty circuit. Do not reset Radio/electric switches On one at a time with delay after each until short circuit is located. Vents, cabin air and heat Open when fire is out. Cabin Fire: Master switch Off Vents, cabin air and heat Closed Fire extinguisher If activated open canopy for ventilation. Land as soon as possible. 4.0 Loss of Oil Pressure If no temperature change is detected, the failure is most likely in the indicating system. If oil temperature is high reduce power and proceed to the nearest suitable landing area. Be prepared for a forced landing. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 16 5.0 Alternator Failure Failure of the alternator is easily detected since the ammeter will show discharging to the extent of the loads being applied. If the alternator field circuit breaker opens (pops out) wait 15 seconds then attempt to reset by pushing the circuit breaker back into position. If it will not reset, turn off the alternator switch and land for electricl system inspection . Reduce electrical load as much as possible. 6.0 Engine Roughness Carburettor heat on, if the roughness continues after 1 minute: Carburettor heat off, mixture adjusted for maximum smoothness, electrical fuel pump on, switch fuel tanks, check engine gauges and then check magnetos. Use both position of magnetos unless roughness is such as to dictate use of single ignition position. If roughness cannot be rectified proceed to nearest aerodrome. Prepare for possible forced landing. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 17 Part 6 – Documention Required: Aircrafts flight manual and handling notes. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 18 Part 7 – Aircraft Systems 1.0 Fuel Systems This consists of two tanks with a total capacity of 199.1 litres of which 193 litres are useable, two sump tanks (one in each wing root fairing), independent fuel gauges and a fuel selector valve. Flush mounted fuel tank vents are located in the bottom of the outboard wing panels, just forward and inboard from the wing tie downs. A mechanical fuel pump, mounted on the engine, transfers fuel from the tanks to the carburettor. This is backed up by an auxiliary electrical fuel pump. This is used when the engine driven pump fails to deliver adequate pressure as shown by the fuel pressure gauge and at low altitudes such as at take-off or landing. There are four fuel drains located one beneath each fuel tank and of the wing root on each side of the aircraft. A drain cup is provided in the glove compartment. Flight with an unserviceable auxiliary fuel pump is prohibited. 2.0 Landing Gear The main landing gear struts are of tough, laminated fiberglass to achieve outstanding shock absorption and good ground stability. The nose gear is free-castering to approximately 90 degrees on either side of the centerline, which gives good manuoeverability on the ground. 3.0 Control Systems The control surfaces are operated by a combination of torque tubes and conventional cable systems. The elevator anti-servo trim tabs are located on the elevator trailing edges and are actuated manually by the trim wheel located on the center console. Ground adjustable tabs on the rudder and ailerons provide a simple method of adjusting directions and lateral trim. Flaps are electrically operated and provide a full range of settings by means of a spring loaded, three flap position switch. The flap actuator switch is held down until the flap position indicator shows the desired flap angle, when released it returns to neutral, and flap travel stops. CAUTION: Abruptly releasing the switch may cause it to snap through the neutral detent, into the retract position. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 19 4.0 Electrical System This system uses a 14 volt, 60 amp alternator with internal power diodes which delivers DC power directly to the main bus through a 60 amp circuit breaker. An external voltage regulator controls the alternator output voltage and automatically adjusts the battery charging rate to maintain proper charge. The electrical system ammeter is located in the engine instrument cluster and indicates current charge (+) and discharge (-) of the battery. The dual magneto ignition system is completely independent of the aircraft’s electrical system, and will continue to operate in the event of an electrical system failure. The master switch is the split rocker type which serves two functions. Side one (master) energises the battery circuit which produces the electrical field in the alternator. This then supplies all the required current for the system loads through the bus bar. Fuses and circuit breakers for the electrical systems are located on the lower right hand side of the instrument panel and spare fuses are located on the right side of the glove compartment. 5.0 Vacuum System An engine driven vacuum system is available and provides the suction necessary to operate the attitude indicator and the directional gyro indicator. The system consists of a vacuum pump mounted on the engine, a regulator and vacuum system air filter on the aft side of the firewall below the instrument panel, and instruments (including a suction gauge) on the instrument panel. The suction gauge is located at the upper edge of the instrument panel. The desired suction range is 4.6" to 5.4" Hg. A suction reading above or below this range may indicate a system malfunction or improper adjustment, and in this case, the indicators should not be considered reliable. 6.0 Canopy Entry into and exit from the aeroplane is accomplished by releasing the canopy latch and sliding the canopy aft. The canopy latch is actuated by an external handle on the front center of the canopy and an internal handle located inside the canopy at its front center. The external latch works by counterclockwise rotational and the internal handle opens the latch by rearwards motion. A lock on the left of the external handle provides a means of externally locking the canopy. It is designed to open a longitudinal distance of 86.4 cm and is limited by stops. The canopy can be partially opened in flight to provide ventilation or better visibility. However, it must be completely closed and locked when flying at airspeeds in excess of 113 kts. The cabin windows aft of the canopy are fixed and cannot be opened. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 20 7.0 Heating and Ventilation Systems Cabin heating and defrosting temperature is controlled by the Cabin Heat Control, located on the instrument panel above the throttle. When this control is pushed in, cabin heating is decreased and when pulled out, heating is increased. The cabin heat is directed into the cabin through vents near the firewall, under the instrument panel. To apply defrost open the sliding doors below the windshield. Ventilation is provided by vent controls located at the bottom left and right corners of the instrument panel. The air is directed through louvred vents. The rear cabin area vents are operated by a twisting motion. When cool and a high humidity do not use partial defrost as the windshield may fog rapidly on take-off. Always check defrost position before flight. The heater and fresh air systems can be operated simultaneously to provide a comfortable cabin temperature. University Flying Club (Inc). Pilots must refer to the flight manual for actual data. These notes are a guide only. 21 Part 8 – Pilot Maintenance 1.0 Tyre Inflation For maximum service from tyres, keep inflated to proper pressure as per Part 1 of these notes. 2.0 Battery Service The battery is accessible by opening the top cowl. The battery is equipped with an overboard vent and drain. It should be inspected periodically for proper fluid level and if the fluid is found to be low, fill as recommended by the battery manufacturer. DO NOT fill above visible battery plates. 3.0 Care of Windows and Canopy It is recommended that you keep the plexiglass in the canopy, windshield and cabin windows clean and unscratched. The following is recommended: (a) If large deposits of mud and/or dirt have accumulated flush with clean water. Hand rubbing is recommended for stubborn patches to prevent scratching. (b) Wash with soap and water, using a sponge or soft cloth. DO NOT scrub or rub hard as abrasive action of the dirt will create fine scratches. (c) Grease and oil spots may be removed with a soft cloth soaked in kerosene. (d) After cleaning wax with a thin coat of hard polish-wax. Permatex `D` a suitable windscreen polish. Apply with a soft cloth pad using an up and down motion, allow to dry, then polish off with a soft cloth. Permatex `D` is available from the Flight School Office. (e) If severe scratch or marring occurs, jeweller’s rouge is recommended. Follow directions to rub out scratch then polish. (f) Never use gasoline, benzine, alcohol, acetone, carbon tetrachloride, fire extinguisher fluid, anti-ice fluid, lacquer thinner or glass cleaner as these items may cause severe crazing.
