The information is presented to enable you to form, in ad- vance, a definite plan of action for coping with the most probable emergency situations which could occur in the operation of your airplane. As it is not possible to have a procedure for all types of emergencies that may occur, it is the pilot's responsibility to use sound judgement based on ex- perience and knowledge of the aircraft to determine the best course of ac- tion. Therefore, it is considered mandatory that the pilot read the entire manual, especially this section before flight. When applicable, emergency procedures associated with optional equipment such as autopilots are included in Section IX. 1 NOTE I ""-------- All airspeeds in this section are indicated (IAS) and assume zero instrument error unless stated otherwise.

Operation of the engine with a failed engine driven fuel pump and the BOOST ON will require smooth uperatiat? of the en- gine controls and corresponding mixture change when the throttle is reposi- tioned or the engine speed is changed. When retarding throttle or reducing engine speed lean the mixture lo prevent the engine frorn quitting from an overrich condition. Enrich the mixture when opening the throttle or increas- ing engine speed to prevent engine stoppage frorn a lean condition. Always lean to obtain a smooth running engine.

Bn particular, avoid rapid apenir~gend closing of the throttle as the engins is equipped with a counterweighted crank shaB and there is a possibility of detunlrag the counter-weights with subsequent engins damage. Proper engine operation should be checked early in the takeoff roll. Any siginificant indication of rough or sluggish engine response is reason to dis- continue the takeoff. When takeoff tnusa be made over a gravel surface, it is important that the throttle be applied slowly. This will allow the aircraft To start rolling before a high RPM is developed, and gravel or loose material will be blown back from the prop area instead of being pulled into it.

Lean the mixture exhaust gas temperature peaks on the EGT indicator. ECONOMY CRUISE - Enrich mixture (push mixture control forward) until the EGT indicator drops 14' C (25 degrees F.) below peak. BEST POWER MIXTURE - Enrich mixture until EGT indicator drops 55 'C(lOoOF.) below peak. ---------- / NOTE I ---------- Compared to Economy Cruise, Best Power mixture will result in an increase in fuel flow and a reduction in rang@. 2. Changes in altitude and power settings require the peak EGT to be rechecked and the mixture re-set. B. Leaning without exhaust gas temperature gauge (EGT). 1. Slowly move mixture control lever aft from "FULL RICH" position toward "LEAN" position. 2. Continue leaning until slight loss of power is noted (loss of power may or may not be accompanied by roughness). 3. Enrich until engine runs smoothly and power is regained. When increasing power always return mixture to full rich, then increase RPM before increasing manifold pressure; when decreasing power decrease manifold pressure before reducing RPM.Always stay within the established operating limits, and always operate the controls slowly and smoothly.
