Emergency
Procedures
General
The recommended procedures for coping with various types of emergencies and critical
situations are provided in this section. These procedures are suggested as a course of action for
coping with the particular condition described, but are not a substitute for sound judgment and
common sense. Pilots should familiarize themselves with the procedures given in this section and
be prepared to take appropriate action should an emergency arise.
Most basic emergency procedures, such as power off landings, are a normal part of pilot training.
Although these emergencies are discussed here, this information is not intended to replace such
training, but only to provide a source of reference and review, and to provide information on
procedures which are not the same for all aircraft. It is suggested that the pilot review standard
emergency procedures periodically to remain proficient in them.

CAUTION
Fuel system limitations outlined in Normal Procedures and Aircraft
Systems checklists must be adhered to for crossfeed operation.

the opposite wing fuel tank. Frequently monitor selected wing fuel
tank quantity.

Emergency
Procedures
WARNING
This process will destroy the hydraulic cylinders, transmission
lines and seals for each landing gear. Therefore, it will not longer
be possible to retract the landing gear. Replacement of the entire
gear hydraulic system will be necessary.
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LOSS (ABOVE 500 PSI)
A partial loss of hydraulic system pressure is probably caused by a
failure of the right engine driven hydraulic pump or loss of accumulator
charge.
Flap handle .................................................................SELECT NEUTRAL
Aux. hydraulic ……………………………………………………………. ARM
Hydraulic pressure ………………………………………………… MONITOR
If hydraulic pressure does not stabilize at or above 500 PSI, continue
with procedures given for "Hydraulic Pressure Loss (Below 500 PSI)."
If hydraulic pressure stabilizes at or above 500 PSI continue as follows:
Land as soon as practical at nearest suitable airport following normal
"Before Landing" procedures, except as follows:
Flaps ……………………………………………………………. AS DESIRED
return handle to neutral
WARNING
Flaps will not operate at hydraulic pressures below 500 PSI!
HYDRAULIC PRESSURE LOSS (BELOW 500 PSI)
Continuously decreasing or totally depleted hydraulic system pressure
indication is probably caused by a system failure rather than a failure
of the right engine driven hydraulic pump.
Flap handle ……………………………….. Immediately select NEUTRAL
Aux. hydraulic ...............................................ARM, if pressure does not
stabilize at 900 to 1050 PSI, turn aux. hydraulic OFF
NOTE
If the failure is the right engine driven hydraulic pump, the aux.
hydraulic pump will increase and stabilize pressure at 900 to
1050 PSI.
If hydraulic pressure stabilizes at 900 to 1050 PSI by means of the
auxiliary hydraulic pump, continue with "Hydraulic Pressure Loss
(Above 500 PSI)."

FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONS
FUEL PUMP FAILURE IN FLIGHT (Engine driven)
Affected engine:
Boost pump .......................................................................................ON
Mixture ................................................................................ FULL RICH
After engine regains normal power:
Mixture .......................................................................... AS REQUIRED
NOTE
If both engine driven fuel pump and boost pump fail, the engine
will be inoperative. Perform "Engine Securing Procedure
(Feathering Procedure)" and conduct "One Engine Inoperative
Landing" procedure at nearest suitable airport.
LOW FUEL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED
(12 gallons or less in fuselage tank)
WARNING
Do not use X-FEED for descent and landing.
CAUTION
When the low fuel warning light first illuminates continuously
there is a maximum of 12 gallons usable fuel remaining in the
fuselage tank. THERE MUST BE FUEL IN THE FUSELAGE
TANK TO ENSURE AN UNINTERRUPTED ENGINE FUEL
SUPPLY.
If an immediate landing is feasible or fuel does not remain' in both wing
tanks, proceed as follows:
Boost pumps (both) ..........................................................................ON
Fuel selectors (both) .........................................................................ON
Execute a landing at nearest suitable landing area with fuel remaining.
If an immediate landing is not feasible and fuel remains in both wing
tanks, proceed as follows:
Level coordinated flight .........................................................MAINTAIN
Boost pumps (both) ..........................................................................ON
Power .......................................................REDUCE to maximum range
Wing fuel quantities (both) ................................................DETERMINE
Fuel selectors (both) ………………………………………………X-FEED
At first indication of fuel pressure drop or power interruption and/ or
prior to initiating descent, continue as follows:
Fuel selectors (both) …………………………………………………… ON
