Performance Data for the Piper PA-34 Seneca V

Actuation of the HI switch position when the engines are operating normally may cause engine roughness and/or power loss. 10) SINGLE ENGINE LANDING a. Inoperative Engine... b. Landing Gear.. c. Wing Flaps.... .FEATHER WHEN CERTAIN OF MAKING RUNWAY - EXTEND WHEN CERTAIN OF MAKING RUNWAY - EXTEND Maintain additional altitude and speed during approach, keeping in mind that landing should be made right the first time and that a go-around may require the use of full power on the operating engine, making control more difficult. A final approach speed of 105 mph and the use of 25° flaps rather than full wing flaps will place the aircraft in the best configuration for a go-around should this be necessary, but it should still be avoided if at all possible. Under some conditions of loading and density altitude a go-around may be impossible and in any event the sudden application of power during single engine operation makes control of the airplane more difficult. 11) LANDING GEAR UNSAFE WARNINGS The red landing gear light will illuminate when the landing gear is in transition between the full up position and the down and locked position. The pilot should recycle the landing gear if continued illumination of the light occurs. Additionally, the light will illuminate when the gear warning horn sounds. The gear warning horn will sound at low throttle settings if the gear is not down and locked. 12) MANUAL EXTENSION OF LANDING GEAR Check the following before extending the gear manually: a. Circuit Breakers.... b. Master Switch... .CHECK .ON c. Alternators... d. Navigation Lights.. .CHECK ON ...OFF (Daytime) To extend the gear, reposition the clip covering the emergency disengage control downward, clear of the knob, and proceed as listed below: e. Reduce Power....... f. Landing Gear Selector.... ..AISPEED NO GREATER THAN 100 MPH ..PLACE IN “GEAR DOWN LOCKED" POSITION g. Emergency Gear Extension Knob..... h. 3 Green Landing Gear Lights….... 13) GEAR-UP EMERGENCY LANDING a. Approach... b. Flaps.... c. Throttles.. d. Master & Ignition…… e. Fuel Selector Valves.. f. Touchdown.. .PULL ...CHECK .POWER FOR NORMAL AIRSPEED .LEAVE UP (to reduce flap and wing damage) .CLOSE JUST BEFORE TOUCHDOWN .OFF ..OFF AT MINIMUM AIRSPEED 17) ENGINE FIRE a. Engine Fire in Flight (on the affected engine): i. Fuel Selector.... ii. Throttle... iii. Propeller.. iv. Mixture... v. Heater.. vi. Defroster.. vii. If Terrain Permits.. .OFF .CLOSE ..FEATHER .IDLE CUT-OFF .OFF (in all cases of fire) ..OFF (in all cases of fire) ..LAND IMMEDIATELY The possibility of an engine fire in flight is extremely remote. The procedure given above is general and pilot judgement should be the deciding factor for action in such emergency. b. Engine Fire on the Ground: i. If Engine has not Started 1. Mixture... 2. Throttle.. 3. Turn Engine with Starter.. .IDLE CUT-OFF ....OPEN .(to attempt to suck fire into engine) ii. If engine has already started and is running, continue operating to try pulling the fire into the engine. iii. In either case (i and ii), if fire continues longer than a few seconds, the fire should be extinguished by the best available external means. iv. If external fire extinguishing is to be applied: 1. Fuel Selector Valve.. 2. Mixture........ 18) ELECTRICAL FIRE a. Master... b. All Electrical Equipment.. c. Fire Extinguisher..... d. Circuit Breakers.. e. Turn On Electrical Equipment.. f. Leave Affected Item OFF.. g. Terminate Flight....... .OFF .IDLE CUT-OFF OFF .OFF .ACTIVATE AS NECESSARY ..CHECK .ONE BY ONE AS REQUIRED .PULL CIRCUIT BREAKER IF IT IS STILL IN 19) COMBUSTION HEATER OVERHEAT ..AS SOON AS PRACTICAL *Red "OVERHEAT" light will illuminate to indicate heater overheat. In the event of an overheat condition, the fuel, air and ignition to the heater is automatically cut off. DO NOT attempt to restart the heater until it has been inspected and the cause of the malfunction has been determined and corrected. 20) SPINS Intentional spins are prohibited. In the event an unintentional spin is encountered, immediately recover using the following procedures: a. Throttles... b. Apply Full Rudder..... c. Control Column.... .IDLE .IN DIRECTION OPPOSITE TO SPIN ROTATION .RELEASE ALL BACK PRESSURE d. Altitude Loss During Malfunction i. An Autopilot malfunction with a 3 second delay in recovery could result in as much as 60° of bank and a 200 foot altitude loss. ii. Altitude loss - high altitude descent - 3 second delay in recovery could result in as much as 60° of bank and a 420 foot altitude loss iii. Autopilot malfunction during an approach with a 1 second delay in recovery could result in as much as 20° bank and 75 foot altitude loss e. Single Engine Operations i. Engine failure during Autopilot approach - Disengage Autopilot, continue flying manually ii. Engine failure during go-around - Disengage Autopilot, retrim aircraft, perform normal engine out procedures then re-engage autopilot iii. Engine failure during normal climb, cruise, descent - retrim aircraft, perform normal engine out procedures iv. Maintain aircraft yaw trim throughout all single engine operations f. Appearance of HDG Flag: i. Check air supply (vac or pressure) for adequate air supply (4 in Hg.) Check NSD 360 circuit breaker ii. iii. Observe display for proper operation NOTE: If heading card is inoperative, autopilot should NOT be used iv. With card inoperative - VOR and Glide Slope displays are still functional. Use card set to rotate card to aircraft heading for correct picture v. Localizer-left-right information still useable. Flag information is disabled compare needle with #2 indicator for valid left-right needle operation 24) DOOR OPEN ON TAKEOFF If either main or rear cabin door is open or partially open on takeoff, fly the plane in a normal manner and return for landing to close the door on the ground. If landing cannot be made, it may be possible to close the door in flight: a. Maintain airspeed - 100 to 110 mph b. Open Storm Window c. Pull door closed, make certain upper latch is properly positioned d. Close the upper latch, may need to pull in on upper portion of door while latch is being closed NOTE: It is necessary to have someone in the airplane in addition to the pilot to carry out this procedure. If either door can't be properly closed it is possible to continue safely for an extended period of time. In this case keep airspeed below 125 mph and above 100 mph to prevent buffeting D) Autotrim - 1. AP ON (Roll and Pitch Sections) Check automatic operation by activating autopilot pitch command UP then DN. Observe trim operation follows pitch command direction. NOTE: In autopilot mode, there will be approximately a 3 second delay between operation of pitch command and operation of trim 2. Press center bar (AP OFF) - release - check autopilot disengagement. 3. Rotate trim wheel to check manual trim operation. Reset to takeoff position prior to takeoff Emergency Procedures In the absence of a procedure in the POH, these steps should be taken. Note that BOLDFACE denotes memory items. With the majority of emergencies, certain procedures must be performed immediately from memory. Students should be made aware of such items during simulation on an engine failure.
