• NOTE
• If equipment on the secondary bus is necessary for completion of flight the generator must be switched on.

Oil pressure warn light illuminates (6.5 +/-2) and/or low oil pressure indication.

• 1. RPM & POWER  - LOWEST PRACTICAL
• 2. LAND                - As soon as possible(or practical if oil pressure is above 25 psi)

• NOTE
• Reduction of power and minimizinv G forced will generally prolong the engine operating time, prior to complete engine failure.
• In case of total loss of oil pressure loss the propeller blades move into coarse pitch (low RPM), and thereby reduce available power.

GEN caution light illuminates (below 25v +/- 0.5)

• 1. EPU switch                  - check on
• 2. Generator switch            - Off
• 3. Unnecessary elec. equip.  - off

• 4. Generator field C/B  - Pull
• 5. Generator switch      - On
• 6. Land - as soon as practical

• NOTE
• Pulling generator FIELD C/B disconnects the generator from the electrical system. The aircraft main battery will thereafter supply electrical power to the primary bus and secondary bus if the generator switch is on, for a period of approx 30 min., where the duration of the period depends upon:
• a) Battery capacity and condition
• b) Electrical load on primary and secondary busses
• c) battery temperature.

• NOTE
• EMERGENCY POWER UNIT (EPU) will under normal circumstances supply sufficient electrical power to the Emergency Bus for a period of at least 2 hours, time taken from the time when the generator stopped supplying electrical power.

• WARN
• If electrical failure occurs during IMC, attempt to optain VMC as soon as possible. If VMC is not obtainable, land as soon as possible.

• High key: 1500' AGL (30^o/20^o AOB)
• Low key:7-800' AGL (Flaps?)
• Final      : 3-400' AGL (FLY THE A/C)

• 1. FORCED LDG CHECK  - COMPLETE

• WARN
• Do not inflate life jacket until clear of aircraft.
• The SLB1000 must be activated manually.

• CAUTION
• To eliminate the possibility of being trapped inside the aircraft, which is likely to flip inverted, select deeper rather than shallow water.

• NOTE
• Ditch aircraft up-wind in a full stall attitude, but in heavy sea along and on falling side of waves.

EPU BATTERY malfunction is indicated by inoperative ST-BY ATTITUDE INDICATOR, VHF-2 COM radio and map lights.

1. EPU switch                  -    check on

If EPU switch is on and the items above still are inoperative

• 2. EPU switch                 - Off
• 3. Land                    - As soon as prac.

Canopy warning light illuminates, the canopy audio signal sounds, or it it obvious the canopy is not proper locked during flight.

• 1. airspeed     -  80 kias
• 2. Land           - ASAP

• CAUTION
• Do not touch canopu lock handle until ldg roll is complete.

• NOTE
• Avoid abrupt pitch changes and fly a straight-in approach.

If structural damage occurs in flight (over-G, over speed, bird strike etc.) proceed as follows:

• 1. configuration          -    do not change
• 2. Land                     - As soon as prac.

• NOTE
• Fly a pwr on straight in app requiring minimum flare.

If experiencing runaway trim or any other trim malfunction:

• 1. Pitch trim C/B          -    Pull
• 2. Trim              - Use manual trim
• 3. Land              - as soon as prac

If time permits, consider reducing fuel load before attampting to land.

• Main wheel tire failure dure t/o or ldg roll:
• - Avoid braking flat tire if possible

• Nose wheel tire failure:
•  - Avoid braking if possible and keep nose high.

• NOTE
• With one main tire flat land on the side of the R/W corresponding to the good tire. If main tire tread separation occurs, the brake line may be damaged, resulting in inoperative brakes.

• NOTE
• With one brake inoperative, avoid braking. If braking is necessary land on the side of the R/W corresponding to the inoperative brake.
