WING FIRE
CRANKING................................................CONTINUE
TO GET A START WHICH WOULD SUCK THE FLAMES AND ACCUMULATED
FUEL THROUGH THE CARBURETOR AND INTO THE ENGINE
IF ENGINE STARTS
POWER...................................................... 1700 RPM
NAVIGATION LIGHTS ..........................................OFF
STROBE LIGHTS .................................................OFF
PITOT HEAT .........................................................OFF
NOTE
FOR A FEW MINUTES
ENGINE..................................................SHUTDOWM
AND INSPECT FOR DAMAGE
IF ENGINE FAILS TO START
CRANKING................................................CONTINUE
FIRE EXTINGUISHER....................................OBTAIN
ENGINE........................................................ SECURE
a) MASTER SWITCH .................................. OFF
b) IGNITION SWITCH ................................. OFF
c) FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE......................... OFF
FIRE ...................................................... EXTINGUISH
FIRE DAMAGE.............................................INSPECT
ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT
PERFORM A SIDE SLIP TO KEEP FLAMES AWAY FROM THE FUEL TANK AND
CABIN, AND LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, WITH FLAPS RETRACTED
INADVERTENT ICING ENCOUNTER
PITOT HEAT .......................................................... ON
DIRECTION OF FLIGHT......................... TURN BACK
ALTITUDE.............. CONSIDER ALTITUDE CHANGE
CABIN HEAT.......................................................... ON
POWER .................................................... INCREASE
CARBURETOR HEAT......................... AS REQUIRED
LANDING .................NEAREST SUITABLE AIRPORT

APPROACH SPEED...............................70 – 80 MPH
DEPENDING ON THE AMOUNT OF ICE ACCUMULATION
MIXTURE.............................................IDLE CUT-OFF
FUEL SHUTOFF VALVE ...................................... OFF
MASTER SWITCH ............................................... OFF
CABIN HEAT AND AIR......................................... OFF
EXCEPT WING ROOT VENTS
AIRSPEED ................................................... 100 MPH
IF FIRE DOES NOT EXTINGUISH INCREASE GLIDE SPEED TO FIND AN
AIRSPEED WHICH WILL PROVIDE AN INCOMBUSTIBLE MIXTURE
FORCED LANDING.................................... EXECUTE
AS IN EMERGENCY LANDING WITHOUT POWER
ELECTRICAL FIRE IN FLIGHT
MASTER SWITCH ............................................... OFF
ALL OTHER SWITCHES...................................... OFF
EXCEPT IGNITION SWITCH
VENTS / CABIN AIR / HEAT ........................ CLOSED
FIRE EXTINGUISHER......................................APPLY
WARNING
AFTER DISCHARGING AN EXTINGUISHER WITHIN A CLOSED CABIN,
VENTILATE THE CABIN
IF FIRE APPEARS OUT AND ELECTRICAL POWER IS NECESSARY FOR
CONTINUANCE OF FLIGHT:
MASTER SWITCH .................................................ON
ELECTRICAL FUSES......................................CHECK
DO NOT REPLACE FAULTY FUSES
RADIO / ELECTRICAL SWITCHES .......................ON
ONE AT A TIME, WITH DELAY AFTER EACH UNTIL SHORT CICUIT IS
LOCALIZED
VENTS / CABIN AIR / HEAT ............................. OPEN
WHEN IT IS ASCERTAINED THAT FIRE IS COMPLETELY EXTINGUISHED
TOUCHDOWN ............................... LEVEL ATTITUDE
NOTE
IF ICING BUILD UP IS EXTREME CONSIDER AN OFF AIRPORT LANDING
WITH ICE BUILD UP IN EXCESS OF ¼ INCH ON THE LEADING EDGES OF THE
WINGS BE PREPARED FOR SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER STALL SPEED
IF NECESSARY OPEN WINDOW AND SCRAPE ICE FROM THE WINDSHIELD
FOR IMPROVED VISIBILITY IN THE LANDING APPROACH AND / OR USE
FORWARD SLIP DURING THE APPROACH
LANDING WITHOUT ELEVATOR CONTROL
TRIM FOR 55 KIAS IN LEVEL FLIGHT AND FLAPS
SET TO 20°. USE THE THROTTLE TO CONTROL
GLIDE ANGLE.
DO NOT CHANGE THE TRIM SETTING
DURING FLARE SET TRIM NOSE FULL UP AND
ADJUST POWER SO THAT THE AEROPLANE WILL
ROTATE TO THE HORIZONTAL ATTITUDE FOR
TOUCHDOWN. AT TOUCHDOWN CLOSE THE
THROTTLE
LANDING WITH A FLAT MAIN TIRE
WING FLAPS......................................... AS DESIRED
APPROACH ................................................. NORMAL
TOUCHDOWN ............................. GOOD TIRE FIRST
HOLD AIRPLANE OFF FLAT TIRE AS LONG AS POSSIBLE WITH AILERON
CONTROL
LOW OIL PRESSURE
OIL TEMPERATURE .................................. MONITOR
CABIN FIRE
MASTER SWITCH ............................................... OFF
VENTS / CABIN AIR / HEAT ........................ CLOSED
TO AVOID DRAFTS
FIRE EXTINGUISHER................................ACTIVATE
IF OIL TEMERATURE IS NORMAL MOST LIKELY REASON IS A MALFUNCTION
IN THE OIL PRESSURE GAUGE OR THE PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE.
A LEAK IN THE LINE TO THE GAUGE IS NOT NECESSARY CAUSE FOR AN
IMMEDIATE PRECAUTIONARY LANDING. HOWEVER IT IS ADVISABLE TO
LAND AT THE NEAREST AIRPORT WHERE THE PROBLEM COULD BE
INSPECTED
IF OIL TEMERATURE IS RISING, THEN THERE IS A GOOD REASON TO
SUSPECT AN ENGINE FAILURE IS IMMINENT.
POWER ........................................................REDUCE
MAKE THE APPROPRIATE PREPARATION FOR A FORCED LANDING USING
THE MINIMUM POWER REQUIRED TO REACH THE LANDING SITE
CONSIDERING THE CHANCE OF TOTAL ENGINE FAILURE AT ANY TIME
