..Check
trend
of

card
movement and make cautious
cor-
rections
with
rudder
to stop the

RECOVERY FROM A SPIRAL DIVE.
If a
spiral
is
encountered,
proceed as follows:
(1)
Close the
throttle.
(2) Stop
the
turn
by using coordinated
aileron
and
rudder control
to
align the symbolic airplane
in the
turn
coordinator with the horizon
reference line.
(3)
Cautiously apply
elevator back
pressure
to slowly reduce the in-
dicated
airspeed

Adjust the
elevator trim
control to maintain a
90 MPH glide.
(5)
Keep hands
off the
control

dis-
turb
the

FIRES.
ENGINE FIRE
DURING
START
ON
GROUND.
Improper starting procedures
such as
pumping the
throttle
during a
difficult cold weather
start
can cause a
backfire
which could ignite fuel
that has accumulated in the intake duct. In this event, proceed as follows:
(1)
Continue cranking in an attempt to
get a
start which
would
suck
the
flames
and accumulated fuel through the
carburetor and into the
engine.
(2)
If the
start
is successful,
run the engine
at
1700
RPM for a few
minutes before shutting
it
down
to inspect the damage.
(3)
If
engine
start
is unsuccessful, continue cranking for
two
or
three
minutes with
throttle
full open while ground
attendants
obtain
fire extinguishers.
