suitable field for a forced landing. Use only the minimum power required to reach the
desired touchdown spot. See the latest Rotax publications on engine operation
without coolant for further details.
If an excessive engine limit is indicated in any of the EMS data fields,
verify the other data indications before acting on and individual EMS
alert. An erratic or intermittent temperature rise could be the result of a
faulty sensor, and in this case, an emergency condition may not exist.
However, this circumstance may not hold true in all situations, and
appropriate precautions should always be taken.
EXCEEDING MAXIUM AIRSPEED (V
NE
)
If the aircraft exceeds V
NE
, reduce power and speed immediately. Do not attempt
abrupt control movement or unusual attitudes. Continue flight using minimum safe
speed and control pressures to land as soon as possible. After landing have the
aircraft airworthiness confirmed by a qualified mechanic to return it to service.
FLUTTER
Flutter is a serious structural vibration and/or high frequency oscillation of the control
surfaces, usually caused by excessive airspeed. It may also be caused by abrupt
control deflection at speeds near or above V
NE
. When it occurs, the ailerons,
elevator, rudder or possibly the entire aircraft will start to shake very violently. Flutter
can destroy the aircraft in seconds if ignored.
Should flutter occur, reduce power
immediately
and slow the aircraft to minimum safe speed. Avoid large control
deflections and attitude changes. Land as soon as possible and have the aircraft
structure and controls inspected by a qualified mechanic prior to return to service.
Wheel vibration and airflow over the bottom of the tire due to airflow over an un-
balanced wheel may cause an airframe vibration that may be confused with flutter.
Always reduce power when a vibration occurs, then apply the brakes to stop the
