### ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN FLIGHT 1. Propeller Lever- FEATHERED 2. Fuel Condition Lever- CUT OFF POSITION 3. Fuel Auxiliary Pump Switch
- OFF 4. Fuel Valve- OFF 5. Power Lever- IDLE POSITION 

### ENGINE FLAMEOUT The indications ofany engine flameout will be a drop in the inter-turbinetemperature, a drop in the torque pressure, and a drop in RPM. The flameout may result from the engine running out offuel or possibly caused by an unstable engine operation. Once the fuel supply has been restored to the engine orthe cause ofthe unstable operation eliminated, the engine may be restarted in the mannerdescribed underAir Starts on the Page 111-2. 

### NORMALAIR STARTS NOTE AirStart Envelope - NormalAirStarts rangingfrom sea level to 12,000 feet altitudeand above 148-MPH lAS have been approved. 

### PRE-AIR START CHECK 1. Propeller Lever-ANYWHERE IN THE OPERATING RANGE. NOTE Propellerfeathering is dependent on circumstances and is atthe discretion ofthe pilot.

- ON 3. Fuel Condition Lever- GROUND IDLE POSITION after approximatelyfive seconds ofstabilized gas generator speed.

### NOTE A relight normallyshould be obtained within 10 Seconds and will be notedfirst by a rise in gas generator RPM. A rise inthe inter-turbinetemperaturewill also be noted. Thefollowing should be carried outwhen the engine reaches Idle RPM: 1. Engine Starterand Ignition Switches
- OFF 2. Propeller Lever- INTO OPERATING RANGE 3. Power Lever- ADJUSTto desire position 4. Fuel Condition Lever- FLIGHT IDLE 5. CHECKthatthe Engine Operating Limits are not exceeded. Ifa satisfactory Start is not obtained discontinued the air start. Ifanotherstarting attempt is to be made, repeatthe engine air start procedure. 

### NOTE The best airstarttechnique is to initiate the restart procedure immediately after a flameout occurs, ifthe pilot is certain thattheflameout was notthe result ofsome malfunction which might make the attempt to restart dangerous. There is always the chance thatthe engine may restart successfullyjust as soon as the ignition is turned on. In a flameout situation, move the igniter switch to the on position as quickly as possible, if the gas generator speed has not dropped below 58%. Under these circumstances it is not necessary to move the fuel lever or feather the propeller. However, the power levershould be returned tothe idle position.

## CHAPTER 6: HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS The handing characteristics ofthe S2R-T660 are similar to the handling characteristics of other Thrush Aircraft models, and are typical of many other large, turbine-powered tailwheel aircraft. Obviously, variables such as hopper load, fuel load, loaded e.g., wind, runway conditions and construction, and atmospheric conditions will affect the handling characteristics ofthe aircraft. It is suggested that the first few flights be made at lower takeoff weights with mid-range loaded e.g., and in relatively calm wind conditions. As experience and proficiency allow, takeoffweights may be increased and the e.g. range may be expanded to gain well-rounded knowledge ofthe handling characteristics ofthe aircraft in all flight, loading, and atmospheric conditions.
