  • Page 9: Emergency Procedures

    3. Emergency procedures This section provides checklist and amplified procedures for coping with emergencies that may occur. Emergencies caused by aeroplanes or engine malfunction are extremely rare if proper preflight inspections and maintenance are practised. However, should an emergency arise, the basic guidelines described in this section should be considered and applied to correct the problem.
  • Page 10 Fire in cockpit 1. Electrics off 2. Cabin heat off 3. Use fire extinguished To restart engine in flight (after fuel sfarvafion): Pull choke before starting and choke in as soon as engine starts. Note: Make sure that the aircraft is equipped with a functioning fire extinguisher which is easily accessible to the pilot.
  • Page 11: Normal Procedures

    Section 4 provides checklist and amplified procedures for the conduct of normal operation. Obtain adequate professional flight training on the STOL CH 701 and the required pilot licence before attempting operation of the aircraft. Pre-flight inspection: (“walk around” before each flight): 1.
  • Page 12 Starting engine: (Refer also to the engine Manual for detailed information) 1. fuel valve ON 2. cock - pull (only for cold engine) 3. throttle - idle 4. master switch -ON 5. ignition switch ON 6. turn starter key to start the engine. When engine start, set RPM to 2 500.
  • Page 13 2. check RPM and gauges 3. release brakes 4. draw stick slightly back Note: For short field take-off: same as above but use the middle flaps setting and climb at the best angle of climb Note: As you become more familiar with your STOL you can try various flaps settings and speeds.
  • Page 14 Cross wind landings and wind limitations: Approach with one wing low, or use crabbing technique, or combination of both. Straighten the aircraft out just before touchdown. When winds are over 25 kt, simply take- off and/or land into the wind as practically no ground run is required. Missed landings: Apply full power.

    6. Weight and balance/equipment list A wide center of gravity range makes loading your Zenair STOL CH 701 easy. Use the following graph & table and actual weights to calculate and check that marginal points fall within the permissible range.
  • Page 18 Aircraft centre of gravity determination Measuring the aircraft - inflate the tires - level the upper fuselage longeron with a spirit level - measure the length LF and LR: plumb line on the slat leading edge at rib #l and through the wheelaxles.
  • Page 19 Sample Weight & Balance Report 75 kg Scale reading : Left main wheel = 92 kg Right main wheel = 91 kg = 75 kg Nose wheel Distances: = 0.725 m. Main wheels = 0.700 m . Nose wheel (92+91) * 0.725 - 75 * 0.7 ) * L = 0.311 m.

    Flight Contro/s: The STOL CH 701 is equipped with a dual flight control stick between the pilot and passenger which branches in the form of a convenient Y handle. The classic rudder pedals, connected to a large-diameter steerable nose wheel for easy of ground handling, are equipped with toe-brake hydraulic pedals on the pilot side (on both sides on option) for effective ground steering.
  • Page 21 The choke is located near the pilot’s throttle (push/pull) control. Carb heat is automatic (supplied by the exhaust manifold under the cowl) for the Rotax 912 when equipped with the Zenair exhaust and fiberglass cowl. See engine manual or consult engine manufacturer for details.
  • Page 22 The fuel tank filler caps have vent holes. The drain valve is situated on the gascolator, forward bottom of firewall.the tanks have a fingerscreen filter. The main fuel shut-off valve is located at the center of aircraft above the rudder pedals. Note: Fuel shut-off valves are open when valve handles are in line with the fuel lines.
  • Page 23 - always refer to section 6 - Weight&balance Cabin dimensions. Optional equipment Utility Options such as skis, floats, amphibious floats, etc. are available from Zenair for a variety of uses. Caution: The installation of skis floats, amphibious floats, or other equipment will change pilot must obtain proper the performance and characteristics of the STOL CH 701.
  • Page 24 (close to their attachment points). In all circumstances, follow all safety precautions pertaining to aircraft, especially around the propeller area. As the STOL CH 701 is an all metal aircraft built from high strength aviation grade aluminium alloys which have good corrosion resistant characteristics, little care to the airframe is required, especially when stored outside.
  • Page 25 Every 25 hours Check the general condition of the STOL CH 701 and in particular the following: General: Verify that no cables are chafed, check for proper anchorage and attachment of all items (fuel, coolant, and oil lines, electrics etc). Verify that all fasteners and pins have the required safety.
  • Page 26 Every 100 hour or six months (whichever comes first) Clean the aircraft: exterior and interior and remove the rear fuselage bottom access door. Make a thorough inspection of the whole aircraft, inspecting for any damage, wear or corrosion. Front of aircraft: Check and inspect the following: Engine (see engine manual), controls and hoses, engine mount, propeller, battery, exhaust, radiator, firewall, nose gear and wheel.
  • Page 27 Note: If an unusual fact is discovered at any time, during pre-flight or at scheduled inspections, contact a Zenair dealer or the manufacturer for the proper maintenance procedure. DO NOT attempt to maintain or repair the...
