If an engine failure occurs in flight, the pilot should switch the fuel selector to the tank with fuel, turn on the electric fuel pump, set the mixture to rich, open the alternate air, and check engine gauges.

Engine Fire During Start

In case of an engine fire during start, the pilot should continue cranking the starter, set the mixture to idle cut-off, open the throttle, turn off the electric fuel pump, and switch the fuel selector off. If the fire continues, abandon the aircraft.

Engine Fire in Flight

For an engine fire in flight, the pilot should check the source of the fire, turn off the fuel selector, close the throttle, set the mixture to idle cut-off, ensure the electric fuel pump is off, and turn off the heater and defroster. A power-off landing should be prepared.
