Freeze
:
Propeller pitch does not react to pilot input, engine RPM does not change while propeller
pitch control is activated. Proceed according to the following table:
Before take off
Do not take-off
During take-off and climb
Try to keep climbing to a safe altitude,
return to the airfield and land. If the aircraft
does not climb, maintain altitude and to
return in a flat curve.
During cruise flight
Depending on the prop position, it should
be possible to find a speed and RPM to
continue the flight to the next possible
landing area. Depending on the prop
position your descent will look different
and a go around is probably not possible.
During descent
Depending on the prop position (in case of
cruise), your descent will look different and
a go around will probably not be possible.
During landing
Continue approach as planned. If the prop
changes to cruise and the landing looks
too long, keep in mind to cut the engine.
3.20 Alternative Method of Engine Shut-down
If the engine continues running after the LANE switches have been switched off use one of
the following alternative methods:
Close fuel shut-off valve and wait for engine to stop due to fuel starvation.
Alternatively
Turn master switch to off to deactivate both primary and secondary electrical fuel pump. The
engine will starve after approximately 30 – 60 seconds.
