Minimum Airspeed.................................................................. 79 KIAS
If at low altitude prepare for power off landing
If altitude permits:
Fuel Selector......................SWITCH to TANK CONTAINING FUELElectric Fuel Pump .......................................................................... ON
Mixture .........................................................................................RICH
Alternate Air................................................................................OPENEngine Gauges....................................... CHECK for INDICATION ofCAUSE of POWER LOSS
If no fuel pressure is indicated, check tank selector position to be
sure it is on a tank containing fuel.
When Power is Restored:
Alternate Air..............................................................................CLOSE
Electric Fuel Pump .........................................................................OFF
If power is not restored, prepare for power off landing.

POWER OFF LANDING- Trim for 79 KIAS.
- Locate suitable field.
- Establish spiral pattern.
- 1,000’ above field at downwind position for normal landing appr.
- When field can easily be reached slow to 72 KIAS for shortest ldg.

High Oil Temperature- Land at nearest airport and investigate the problem- Prepare for power off landing.
Electrical Failure
ALT annunciator light illuminated:
Ammeter ............................................ CHECK to VERIFY INOP ALT
If Ammeter Shows Zero:
ALT Switch ....................................................................................OFF
Reduce electrical loads to minimum:
ALT Circuit Breaker................... CHECK and RESET as REQUIREDALT Switch ..................................................................................... ON
If Power is Not Restored:
ALT Switch ....................................................................................OFF
If alternator output cannot be restored, reduce electrical loads andland as soon as practical. The battery is the only remaining sourceof electrical power.
Electrical Overload (Alternator over 20 amps above knownelectrical load)
BATT MASTR Switch...................................................................OFF
If ammeter reading does NOT decrease:
ALTR Switch..................................................................................OFFLand as soon as practical Use Emergency Landing Gear Extension
to lower landing gear.

If ammeter reading DOES decrease:
BATT MASTR Switch.................................................................... ON
Ammeter ..............................................................................MONITOR
If ammeter reading does NOT begin to decrease within five minutes:
BATT MASTR Switch...................................................................OFFLand as soon as practical.
CAUTION
If the battery is depleted, the landing gear must belowered using the emergency extension procedure.
The gear position lights will be inoperative
NOTE
Due to increased system voltage and radio frequency
noise, operation with the ALT switch ON and BATT
switch OFF should be made only when required by anelectrical system failure.
If ammeter reading DOES begin to decrease within five minutes:
Proceed with flight
Ammeter ................................................................................... Monitor
Propeller Overspeed
Throttle .................................................................................. RETARD
Oil Pressure ..............................................................................CHECK
Propeller Control .......................... FULL DECREASE RPM then SET
if any CONTROL AVAILABLE
Airspeed................................................................................. REDUCE
Throttle ................................................... AS REQUIRED to REMAIN
Below 2700 RPM

If landing gear does not check down and locked:

Airspeed...................................................REDUCE BELOW 87 KIAS
Landing Gear Slector Switch......................GEAR DOWN POSITION
If gear has still failed to lock down, move and HOLD the emergency lever down to
the Emergency Down position.
If gear has still failed to lock down, yaw the airplane abruptly from side to sidewith the rudder.
If the nose gear will not lock down using the above procedure, slow the aircraft tothe lowest safe speed attainable using the lowest power setting required for safe
operation and accomplish the following:Landing Gear Switch ..................................GEAR DOWN POSITION
If landing gear does not check down, recycle gear through up position and thenselect gear DOWN.
