NOTE:
If a restart is not possible, the engine may be
retracted and the soaring flight continued, or a landing
may be performed with the engine extended.
NOTE:
If no action is taken after an engine failure, the
engine will be automatically cooled down, provided that
the electrical supply is sufficient.
CAUTION:
After an engine failure, the normal gliding
attitude must be restored to ensure that sufficient airspeed
is maintained

3.3 Fire
Engine fire on the ground
3.3.1
An engine fire may occur following one or more failed start attempts. In
such a case unburned fuel inside the turbine may be ignited, resulting
in exhaust
flames from a “wet start”. If an engine fire is observed while
the engine is running, the following action can be taken:
1. Reduce throttle position to the IDLE setting.
2. Wait until all excess fuel inside the turbine is burnt.
3. If engine EGTs are within normal range, operation can continue
normally.
4. If EGTs seem to be too high, the engine should be shut down by
closing the fuel valve switch in the cockpit.
5. Do not retract the engine while hot or while any flames are visible.
