CAUTION:
The propeller will be windmilling when power is
immediately removed. As a result, the drag increases
significantly with a noticeable decrease in glide
performance.
CAUTION:
If take-off must be aborted when airborne it is critical to
ensure a safe approach speed is maintained while the
power is cut. Immediately lower the nose of the aircraft
from the powered climb attitude to the unpowered glide
attitude.
Fire
5.3.1
Fire on the Ground
1. Switch OFF the RES master switch
2. Switch OFF all instruments and the avionics master switch
3. Get out of the cockpit
4. Extinguish the fire
NOTE:
A Li-ion battery fire is considered a Class B fire.
Therefore, a standard ABC or dry chemical fire
extinguisher should be used.
5.3.2
Fire Inflight
An independent fire warning system (see Section 8.4) is installed to
detect excessive heat in the motor bay. The system uses a bright red
LED situated on the instrument panel and an audible buzzer to warn
the pilot of heat detected and a possible fire.
When the LED is illuminated or a fire smell is recognized:
1. Stop the motor immediately by rotating the command knob anti-
clockwise to 0% power
2. Switch OFF the RES master switch
3. Descend rapidly and land as soon as possible
