3.7.2 FAILURES IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
(a) Complete Failure of the Electrical System
Due to the strong mechanical design as well as due to the required check of the system
during scheduled inspections, a total failure of the electrical system is extremely unlikely.
If, nevertheless, a total failure should occur, all circuit breakers should be checked, pulled
and re-set. If this does not help:
- Set Emergency switch to ON (if installed).
- When necessary, use the flood light for lighting the instruments as well as levers
and switches, etc.
- Set power based on lever positions and engine noise.
- Prepare landing with flaps in the given position.
- Land on the nearest appropriate airfield.
