When
ready
to extinguish
fire, release
the
starter
switch and
turn
off
master
switch, ignition switch, and fuel
selector
valve.
(5)
Smother
flames
with
fire extinguisher, seat
cushion, wool blan-
ket, or loose
dirt.
(6)

thorough
inspection
of
fire
damage, and

ENGINE
FIRE IN
FLIGHT.
Although engine
fires
are extremely
rare
in flight, the following
steps
should
be
taken if
one
is
encountered:
(1)
Pull
mixture
control to idle cut-off.
(2)
Turn fuel
selector
valve handle
"OFF."
(3)
Turn
master
switch
"OFF."
(4)
Establish
a 100 MPH
glide.
(5)
Close cabin heat and cabin
air
controls.
(6)
Select a
field
suitable
for
a
forced
landing.
(7)
If
fire is
not extinguished,
increase
glide speed in an
attempt
to
find an
airspeed
that will provide an incombustible
mixture.
(8)
Execute a
forced
landing
as described
in
paragraph
Emergency
Landing Without Engine
Power.
Do not
attempt
to
restart
the engine.
ELECTRICAL
FIRE IN
FLIGHT.
The
initial
indication
of
an
electrical fire is
the odor
of
burning
in-
sulation.
The immediate
response
should
be
to
turn
the
master
switch
"OFF."
Then close
off
ventilating
air
as
much
as practicable
to
reduce
the chances
of
a
sustained fire.
If
an oxygen
system is
available in the
aircraft
and dense smoke makes
breathing
difficult, occupants should use
oxygen masks until the smoke
clears.
’
If
electrical
power
is
indispensable
for
the flight, an
attempt
may
be
made to identify and cut
off
the defective
circuit as
follows:
(1)
Master
Switch
--
"OFF."
(2)
All
other
switches (except ignition switch)
--
"OFF."
(3)
Check condition
of
circuit breakers
to identify faulty
circuit
if
possible.
Leave faulty
circuit
deactivated.
(4)
Master
Switch
--
"ON."
(5)
Select switches
"ON"
successively, permitting
a
short
time
de-
lay
to
elapse
after
each switch
is turned
on
until the
short circuit is
localized.
(6)
Make
sure fire is
completely extinguished before opening vents.
