3.2.9. ENGINE
The ENGINE warning light illuminates due to other engine problems. Causes include
engine flameout, alternator failure, over temperature, etc.
If RPM is abnormally low but not showing zero the engine has flamed out. Retard
throttle to off and initiate an air-start. Refer to 3.7.5.1 Air Start chapter later in this
section).
If RPM is low and reading zero the aircraft has suffered an alternator failure.
If RPM is not abnormally low but FTIT is abnormally high the engine is suffering from over
temperature. Land as soon as possible.
If RPM is not abnormally low and FTIT not abnormally high it is an engine warning system failure, or
RPM/FTIT indicator failure. Land as soon as practical.
3.2.10. GEAR HANDLE LIGHT
The red light in the gear handle (lollipop) is also considered a warning light. It refers to the landing
gear or landing gear doors not being in the position commanded by the handle unless the gear is in
transit.
Normal operation of this light is to be illuminated while the gears are in transit.
If the light remains on after moving the handle a failure has occurred.
If the light remains on after placing the gear handle up it indicates that one or more gears has not fully
retracted or a landing door has not closed. Refer to 3.8.2 LG Extension Malfunctions later in this
section.
If the light remains on after placing the gear handle down it indicates that one or more gear is not fully
down and locked. Check the individual gear light to know which one and refer to 3.8.2 LG Extension
Malfunctions later in this section.
3.2.11. HUD WARN
The HUD WARN message comes on whenever one of the warning lights illuminates.
Refer to the relevant warning light and reset the HUD with the WARN RESET switch on the ICP.
