6.2.5
Carburettor Icing
If Carburettor icing is suspected:
1.
Throttle .......................................................FULL
2.
CARB HEAT...............................................FULL ON
NOTE
Carburettor heat may be used at any power setting, but will result in a slight power loss. When
icing is eliminated, return CARB HEAT to OFF. Carburettor heat should not be used for take-
offs.
Maintain carburettor heat in ON position for a minimum of 1 minute to allow all ice to melt.
Carburettor heat may be used on the ground except during take-off.
CAUTION
Do not use partial carburettor heat as this may exacerbate ice accretion.
6.2.6
Fuel Low Pressure Warning Light Illuminates Continuously
If fuel low pressure warning light illuminates Continuously:
1.
Throttle .......................................................Reduce to approx 2400RPM
2.
Fuel gauges................................................Check level. Fly aircraft with the wing
with the most fuel above the other.
3.
Precautionary Landing................................As soon as safe
NOTE
Due to the types of fuel pumps used, it is normal for the fuel pressure warning light to flicker at
times during flight. The procedure outlined above should only be used where the light is ON
consistently for 60 seconds or longer.
6.2.7
Landing With a Flat Main Tyre
1.
Landing Area ..............................................SUITABLE
2.
Approach ....................................................NORMAL
3.
Wing Flaps .................................................FULL DOWN
4.
Touchdown.................................................GOOD TYRE(S) FIRST, hold aircraft
off flat tyre as long as possible with
aileron and/or elevator control
5.
Ignition........................................................OFF
6.
Fuel Shutoff Valve ......................................OFF
7.
Master Switch.............................................OFF
6.2.8
Inadvertent Icing Encounter
Flight into known icing conditions is prohibited. If icing is inadvertently encountered,
change flight level or turn back to obtain an outside air temperature less conducive to
icing.
6.2.9
Electrical Power Supply System Malfunctions
Alternator Failure
1.
Non-essential electrical equipment .............OFF
2.
Land ...........................................................AS SOON AS PRACTICAL
