44.Engine fire in flight procedure: Mixture cutoff, fuel pump off, power level idle, fuel
selector off ignition switch off.
45.Wing fire in flight procedure: Pitot heat, navigation lights and strobe lights off.
Land as soon as possible.
46.Emergency descent procedure: POwer lever idle, mixture full rich, and airspeed
at V
NE
(201 kts).
47.Door open in flight procedure: Reduce airspeed to 80 to 90 knots and land as
soon as practical. If not latched, door will remain 1 to 3 inches open in flight.
48.CAPS deployment procedure: Airspeed as slow as possible (max demonstrated
was 135 kts.) mixture cutoff is possible, cover removed, pull activation handle
from its holder and then clasp handle with both hands and pull straight down in a
strong, steady and continuous motion. Maintain pull force until rocket activates.
Bending of the handle-housing mount is to be expected.
49.CAPS after-deployment procedure: Mixture check cutoff, fuel selector off, bat-alt
master switches off, ignition switch off, fuel pump off, ELT on (located below CB
panel), seat belts and harnesses tightened, loose items secure, and assume
emergency landing body position.
50.Describe the emergency landing body position: Cross your arms across your
chest, firmly grasp the shoulder harness, and hold your upper torso erect. The
landing force is equivalent to a drop from 10 feet above the ground.
51.An alternator malfunctions. What indication would occur? The ALT caution light
would illuminate in the annunciator panel, and the ammeter would probably
indicate an excessive charge or discharge rate.
52.What does the term “self-exciting” alternator mean? The alternator requires
battery voltage only for starting. Once started, it provides self-generated field
power to continue operation in case of battery failure.
53.If electrical loads must be reduced due to alternator failure, should you switch off
electrical components that are not essential to flight or pull circuit breakers? Wy?
Switch off electrical components in order to prevent accidental circuit breaker
disconnection and loss of power to flight-critical systems.
