EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
WARNING:
Prolonged use of high power settings after loss of oil pressure
will lead to engine mechanical damage and total engine failure.
1 Throttle Lever MINIMUM REQUIRED
2 Land AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
NOTE
:
Full power should only be used following a loss of oil pressure when
operating close to the ground and only for the time necessary to climb to an
altitude permitting a safe landing or analysis of the low oil pressure indication
to confirm oil pressure has actually been lost.
If low oil pressure is accompanied by normal oil temperature, it is possible
that the oil pressure sensor, gauge, or relief valve is malfunctioning. In any
case, land as soon as practical and determine cause.
3.5 STALL RECOVERY
1 Reduce angle of attack Control Stick Forward
2 Throttle Lever Full Power
3 Horizontal Flight Resume
3.6 SPINS
The airplane is NOT approved for intentional spins.
While the stall characteristics of the airplane make accidental entry into a
spin extremely unlikely, spinning is possible. Spin entry can be avoided by
using good airmanship: coordinated use of controls in turns, proper airspeed
control and never abusing the flight controls with accelerated inputs when
close to the stall.
If the controls are misapplied or abrupt inputs are made to the control sur-
faces at or around stall, a sudden wing drop may be felt and a spiral or spin
may be entered. In some cases it may be difficult to determine if the aircraft
has entered a spiral or the started spinnig.
In any case, spin recovery technique is classic:
