Propulsion System Failures in Flight
5.2.1
Pylon extended but power cannot be applied
If the pylon is extended but all safety checks required to allow operation
have not been met, the system does not allow power to be applied. In
this case, the pilot has two options:
•
Retract the pylon to reduce the additional drag and continue the
flight as a pure glider.
•
Recycle the system in an attempt to clear the failure mode:
1. Select a suitable landing field to perform a safe landing
2. Set attitude for a minimum safe flying speed
3. Switch the guarded RES master switch OFF. The propeller
will start windmilling and the rate of descent will increase
4. Switch the guarded RES master switch ON
5. Push the EXT/RETR switch in the EXT direction (upwards)
WARNING:
Do not push the toggle switch downwards unless the
propeller is oriented vertically!
6.
Confirm the status changes to “OK”
7. Turn the command knob clockwise to apply power
8. If no power is available, perform a retraction procedure
(ensure propeller is oriented vertically) or land with the
pylon extended
