• WARNING •
If engine failure is accompanied by fuel fumes in the cockpit,
or if internal engine damage is suspected, move Mixture
Control to CUTOFF, Fuel Selector to OFF, and do not attempt
a restart.
If the engine fails at altitude, pitch as necessary to establish best glide
speed. While gliding toward a suitable landing area, attempt to identify
the cause of the failure and correct it. If altitude or terrain does not
permit a safe landing, CAPS deployment may be required. Refer to
Section 10,
Cirrus Airframe Parachute System (CAPS)
for CAPS
deployment scenarios and landing considerations.
Excessive engine cooling may be experienced during long descents
resulting in low engine oil and cylinder head temperatures. This may
result in the engine not accelerating properly when power is reapplied.
If oil or cylinder head temperatures are excessively low then the
engine should be operated at partial power until the temperatures are
sufficient for full power operation.
