CAUTION Report #: ER-511 Title: S2R-T660/-T660DC TRAINING MANUAL Page: 13 Revision: A Date: 11/25/2013 FAA Project #: N/A CHAPTER 4: EMERGENCY PROCEDURES GROUND ENGINE FIRE See Dry Motoring Run in Section II. ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT 1. Power Lever – IDLE POSITION 2. Propeller Lever – FEATHERED 3. Fuel Condition Lever – CUT OFF POSITION 4. Fuel Auxiliary Pump Switch – OFF 5. Fuel Valve – OFF ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN FLIGHT 1. Propeller Lever – FEATHERED 2. Fuel Condition Lever – CUT OFF POSITION 3. Fuel Auxiliary Pump Switch – OFF 4. Fuel Valve – OFF 5. Power Lever – IDLE POSITION ENGINE FLAMEOUT The indications of any engine flameout will be a drop in the inter-turbine temperature, a drop in the torque pressure, and a drop in RPM. The flameout may result from the engine running out of fuel or possibly caused by an unstable engine operation. Once the fuel supply has been restored to the engine or the cause of the unstable operation eliminated, the engine may be restarted in the manner described under Air Starts on the Page III-2. NORMAL AIR STARTS NOTE Air Start Envelope – Normal Air Starts ranging from sea level to 12,000 feet altitude and above 148-MPH IAS have been approved. PRE-AIR START CHECK 1. Propeller Lever – ANYWHERE IN THE OPERATING RANGE. NOTE Propeller feathering is dependent on circumstances and is at the discretion of the pilot. Fine pitch selection will pump air through the engine, and; therefore increase the gas generator motoring speed during the Air Start procedure. Report #: ER-511 Title: S2R-T660/-T660DC TRAINING MANUAL Page: 14 Revision: A Date: 11/25/2013 FAA Project #: N/A 2. Power Lever – IDLE 3. Master Switch – ON 4. Fuel Valve – ON 5. Fuel Condition Lever – CUT OFF 6. Fuel Auxiliary Pump Switch – ON 7. Fuel Pressure Indicator – 5 PSIG minimum AIR START PROCEDURE 1. Starter Switch – ON, The minimum gas generator RPM to obtain satisfactory ignition is 13% Ng. 2. Engine Ignition Switch – ON 3. Fuel Condition Lever – GROUND IDLE POSITION after approximately five seconds of stabilized gas generator speed. NOTE A relight normally should be obtained within 10 Seconds and will be noted first by a rise in gas generator RPM. A rise in the inter-turbine temperature will also be noted. The following should be carried out when the engine reaches Idle RPM: 1. Engine Starter and Ignition Switches – OFF 2. Propeller Lever – INTO OPERATING RANGE 3. Power Lever – ADJUST to desire position 4. Fuel Condition Lever – FLIGHT IDLE 5. CHECK that the Engine Operating Limits are not exceeded. If a satisfactory Start is not obtained discontinued the air start. If another starting attempt is to be made, repeat the engine air start procedure. NOTE The best air start technique is to initiate the restart procedure immediately after a flameout occurs, if the pilot is certain that the flameout was not the result of some malfunction which might make the attempt to restart dangerous. There is always the chance that the engine may restart successfully just as soon as the ignition is turned on. In a flameout situation, move the igniter switch to the on position as quickly as possible, if the gas generator speed has not dropped below 58%. Under these circumstances it is not necessary to move the fuel lever or feather the propeller. However, the power lever should be returned to the idle position. ELECTRICAL FIRE IN FLIGHT 1. Battery Switch and Generator Switch – OFF 2. All other Electrical Switches – OFF 3. Circuit Breakers – CHECK to identify faulty circuit, if possible. Report #: ER-511 Title: S2R-T660/-T660DC TRAINING MANUAL Page: 15 Revision: A Date: 11/25/2013 FAA Project #: N/A If electrical power is essential for the flight, try to identify and isolate the faulty circuit by doing the following: 1. Generator Switch – ON 2. If the Generator Switch is defective, MOVE the Generator Switch to the OFF position and then MOVE the Battery Switch to the ON position. Let a short period of time elapse before activating additional circuits one at a time until the defective circuit is identified. 3. Defective Circuit – OFF EMERGENCY EGRESS If it is necessary to remove the cockpit door from its hinges, do the following: 1. KNOCK OUT the oval panel below the window. 2. REACH through the hole and PULL UP the flexible hinge pin. 3. PUSH the door clear of the aircraft and EXIT. FOR DUAL COCKPIT AIRCRAFT: If it is not desired to release the door from its hinges while exiting the aircraft in the normal manner, proceed with the following: 1. The front cockpit door must be closed in order for the rear occupant to exit the aircraft. 2. The rear occupant can exit by using the step in the left side of the fuselage below the front door. GENERATOR FAILURE 1. RESET Generator 2. If Generator is not restored, accomplish the following: a. Air Conditioner OFF b. All other nonessential electrical equipment OFF If Generator Fails, Air Conditioner must be turned off to ensure 30 minutes of Battery Power FOR AIRCRAFT WITH TRANSLAND HYDRAULIC FIRE DOOR INSTALLED P/N: 25151 EMERGENCY DUMPS If Hydraulic Door fails to open: 1.

Obviously, variables such as hopper load, fuel load, loaded c.g., wind, runway conditions and construction, and atmospheric conditions will affect the handling characteristics of the aircraft. It is suggested that the first few flights be made at lower takeoff weights with mid-range loaded c.g., and in relatively calm wind conditions. As experience and proficiency allow, takeoff weights may be increased and the c.g. range may be expanded to gain well-rounded knowledge of the handling characteristics of the aircraft in all flight, loading, and atmospheric conditions.
