experience alternator failure;
Master Switch ...................................... OFF
Avionics Master ................................... OFF
Lights ................................................... OFF
Circuit Breakers ................................... CHECK
A check of the circuit breakers may reveal a popped breaker indicating the source
of the trouble. If so, turn all individual equipment OFF, reset the breaker and turn
the Master Switch ON. If the breaker does not activate again, slowly turn various
elements of your system ON one at a time watching for another malfunction at-
tempting to isolate the problem.
If you believe the problem has been isolated and you elect to continue the flight,
remain alert for another anomaly caused by the first difficulty.
NOTE
Each aircraft electrical system varies. Your aircraft
may be equipped with back up batteries and/or
alternators. Know your electrical system and adapt
your emergency procedures accordingly
SPEED BRAKES
The Precise Flight speed brakes are designed such that it is impossible for one to
deploy and remain fully deployed while the other is down. If you experience prob-
lems with the speed brakes, pulling the circuit breaker will collapse the speed brakes.
Do not use the speed brakes in icing conditions as they may not retract.
If all attempts to retract them fail, land using 110 KIAS on final. Flight testing
has shown that the Legacy has sufficient roll control to land with one extended
and the other retracted.
