Freeze
:
Propeller pitch does not react to pilot input, engine RPM does not change while
propeller pitch control is activated. Proceed according to the following table:
Before take off
Do not take-off
During take-off and climb
Try to keep climbing to a safe altitude,
return to the airfield and land. If the aircraft
does not climb, maintain altitude and
return in a flat curve.
During cruise flight
Depending on the prop position, it should
be possible to find a speed and RPM to
continue the flight to the next possible
landing area. Depending on the prop
position your descent will look different
and a go-around may have reduced climb
rate.
During descent
Depending on the prop position (in case of
cruise), your descent will look different and
a go-around will may have reduced climb
rate.
During landing
Continue approach as planned. If the prop
changes to cruise and the landing looks
too long, keep in mind to cut the engine.
3.17 Alternative Method of Engine Shut-down
If the engine continues running after the magnetos have been switched off use one of the
following alternative methods:
Close fuel shut-off valve and starve the engine.
Alternatively
Engage full choke, wait a few seconds and open the throttle suddenly. This normally chokes
the engine and causes it to stop
Alternatively
Turn master switch to off to deactivate both primary and secondary electrical fuel pump. The
engine will starve after approximately 30 – 60 seconds.
