    Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures with consequent loss of engine power, particularly at altitude. A significant loss of manifold pressure will be indicated and this may be the first recognisable symptom. If symptoms of an engine malfunction indicate any possibility of a turbocharger or exhaust system fire the pilot should give immediate consideration to carrying out a precautionary landing before the situation gets out of hand.

  • Page 47: Rough Engine/Loss Of Power

    Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures The initial indication of an electrical fire is usually the smell of burning insulation. Turning off the Master Switch should result in the elimination of the cause of this type of fire. 3.4.6. Rough Engine/Loss of Power 1.

  • Page 48: Electrical Systems Malfunctions

    Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures 3.4.7. Electrical Systems Malfunctions The operation of the electrical system is straight forward but to obtain the necessary degree of reliability and redundancy the system must be operated correctly. Normal operation is with both Master Switches in the ON position.
  • Page 49 Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures With the alternator off line the battery will be supplying the required electrical power. To conserve battery power the Bus 2 Master should be switched off. If flight with no electrical services is safe the Bus 1 Master Switch may also be switched off to further conserve battery power.

  • Page 50: Fuel System Malfunctions

    Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures 3.4.8. Fuel System Malfunctions The fuel system has been designed to be as simple to operate as possible. The sump tank should remain FULL at all times. Should this not be the case then transfer of fuel from the main fuel tanks has ceased.
  • Page 51 Section 3 Model GA8-TC 320 Emergency Procedures 3.4.10. Pitot Static Malfunction If erroneous readings of the pitot-static instruments (airspeed indicator, altimeter or vertical speed indicator) are suspected, the most likely cause is icing of the wing mounted pitot-static probe. The initial action is to select the pitot heat to ON. If the problem persists one minute after switching on the pitot heat, the alternate static source should be selected.

    Section 4 Model GA8-TC 320 Normal Procedures 4.4.5 Take-Off Power Check Full throttle runups over loose gravel are especially harmful to the propeller and should be avoided. When take-offs must be made from a gravel surface, it is very important that the throttle be advanced slowly and a rolling start take-off technique be used to minimise propeller damage.
