Attempt to fly the aircraft and keep the wings level through the approach
and
landing
until the aircraft comes to rest.
EXIT THE AIRCRAFT
and remain clear
until assured there is no possibility of fire.
SYSTEMS EMERGENCIES
PROPELLER OVERSPEED
The controllable pitch Hartzell propellers (with Woodward or McCauley governors)
used on the Legacy utilize oil pressure from the governor to increase pitch (low
rpm), others may operate in an opposite manner. Therefore it is the responsibility
of the pilot to know his aircraft and its system specifically.
It is however dangerous to run any engine over its rated rpm and thus the method
to reduce any overspeed is to
immediately reduce the throttle to idle
and reduce
airspeed to the point where rpm control is regained. Slowly add throttle and hold
airspeed well below that at which the overspeed occurred. Mixture may need to
be adjusted also for smooth operation. If the overspeed was significant, i.e. over
200 rpm over redline, an engine inspection is called for upon landing. Engine
operation for the balance of the flight must be monitored closely.
PROPELLER DAMAGE
As with any major component of an aircraft, the propeller demands proper care.
Nicks, scratches and other types of damage require care. While the construction
varies, all are highly stressed and these nicks cause stress concentrations to a
greater or lesser degree which are dangerous. Refer to the manual for your propel-
ler for proper limits of damage, the proper “care and feeding” of your propeller.
Preflight your aircraft accordingly. The loss of any significant portion of a blade
can be catastrophic.
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE
The electrical system of your aircraft is key to safe operation in today’s environment.
It is required for night or IFR operations. If a voltmeter is installed it will be your
key indicator of alternator failure which then places the entire electrical load on
the battery. For 14 volt systems, the battery will read approximately 12.4 volts on
a full battery, and 14+ on the alternator. For 28 volt systems, the battery will read
approximately 24.2 volts on a full battery, and 28 volts on the alternator. If you
