CHEROKEE " E " SECTION IV
When power is restored:
8. Carburetor Heat - Off
9. Electric Fuel Pump - Off
If the above steps do not restore power, prepare for an emergency
landing.
If time permits:
1. Ignition Switch - " L " then "R" then back to "BOTH."
2. Throttle and Mixture - Different settings. (This may restore
power if problem is too rich or too lean a mixture, or a partial fuel
system restriction.)
3. Try another fuel tank. (Water in the fuel could take some time
to be used up, and allowing the engine to windmill may restore power.
If power loss is due to water, fuel pressure indications will be normal.)
NOTE
If engine failure was caused by fuel exhaustion,
power will not be regained after tanks are switched
until empty fuel lines are filled, which may require up
to ten seconds.
If power is not restored, proceed with POWER OFF LANDING
procedures.
POWER OFF LANDING
If loss of power occurs at altitude, trim the aircraft for best gliding
angle, 82 MPH IAS, and look for a suitable field. If measures taken to
restore power are not effective, and if time permits, check your charts
for airports in the immediate vicinity; it may be possible to land at one
if you have sufficient altitude. If possible, notify the FAA by radio of
your difficulty and intentions. If another pilot or passenger is aboard,
let them help.
