SECTION 7
EMERGENCY - ENGINE FAILURE AND AIRSTART

 
BASIC SINGLE - ENGINE PROCEDURE

 
1. Maintain aircraft control.
2. Determine which engine is out. Note.  If it becomes necessary to shut down an engine while in flight, due to an engine malfunction, the following procedure should be preceded by selecting the mixture control lever of the malfunctioning engine to the idle cutoff position.
3. Malfunctioning engine (low-thrust indication) - Feather propeller.
4. Operative engine - METO power (minimum) -
a.  Mixture control lever - Auto-rich.
b.  Propeller - 2550 rpm.
c.  Throttle - 42.5" Hg at sea level.
d.  Fuel booster pump - Normal.
5. Landing gear and flaps - Up.
6. Inoperative engine - Shut down -
a. Throttle - Closed.
b.  Propeller lever - Full decrease.
c.  Mixture control lever - Idle cutoff.
7. Clean-up - As desired.
a.  Fuel emergency shoutoff switch - UP. (If engine fire, oil emergency shutoff switch UP also).
b.  Fuel booster pump switch - OFF.
c.  Ignition switch - OFF.
d.  Generator switch - OFF>
e.  Fuel tank selector switch - As required.
f.  Secondary bus reset switch - UP, if required.
g.  Nonessential electrical bus services - OFF.
h.  Operative engine power - Adjust as required.

 
 
ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKEOFF ROLL

Close throttles and apply brakes.


ENGINE FAILURE DURING FLIGHT

Time and altitude permitting, check the engine systems to ascertain the cause of the failure and determine whether or not normal operation can be restored. If not, accomplish the basic single-engine procedure.


ENGINE FAILURE AFTER TAKEOFF

 
1. Adjust power and maintain aircraft control.
2. Land if runway lenght permits or if safe single engine speed is not obtainable.
3. If runway length does not permit safe landing and safe single - engine speed is obtained - 
a.  Continue flight and perform basic single engine procedure.
b.  Initiate climb when safe  single-engine speed is attained.

 
ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT

 
1. Airspeed - 130 knots IAS maximum. 
2. Throttle - Closed. 
3. Propeller control lever - Full decrease.
4. Mixture control lever - Idle cutoff.
5. Ignition switch - Both.
6. Fuel emergency shutoff switch - Down.
7. Fuel booster pump switch - Normal.
8. Autofeathering switch - OFF.
9. Propeller feathering button - Depress for conventional system; pull for reverse system. (Release before 800 rpm).
10. Mixture control lever - Auto-rich.
11. Throttle - Advance slightly.
12. Temperatures - Check.
13. Propellor control lever - Required rpm.
14. Throttle - Advance to required manifold pressure.
15. Trim - Reset.
16. Fuel booster pump switch - OFF.
17. Generator switch - ON.
18. Secondary bus reset switch - Down.

 
SINGLE_ENGINE APPROACH

 
1. Accomplish basic single-engine procedure as required.
2. Use normal traffic pattern.
3. Landing gear - Extend when desired.
4. Flaps - Use a maximum of 15 until landing assured.
5. *Airspeed - 75 knots (A), 85 knots (B) on final.
6. Turns - Avoid steep turns in pattern.
*Speeds appropriate to 26,000#  (A), speeds appropriate to 28,500# (B).

 
SINGLE-ENGINE GO-AROUND

 
1. Throttle - Takeoff power.
2. Landing gear and wing flaps - Up.
3. Rudder trim - Reset.
4. Attitude - Maintain level flight.
5. Airspeed - Commence clinb at 75 knots IAS (A) or 85 knots IAS (B). Increase to 95 knots in both cases. 
6. Engine power - METO setting after safe climb has been estabished.
