A
  • KEEP AIRCRAFT AT MORE OR LESS LEVEL ATTITUDE
  • AVOID ABRUPT MANEUVERS
  • MAINTAIN ANGLE OF BANK LOWER THAN 30º
  • MAINTAIN IAS BELLOW 110 (or VNE IF LOWER)
  • LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL
  • NORMAL APPROACH AND LANDING

LIMIT light may be on if LH circuit failed OR during load factor maneuvers. One remaining circuit allows continued safe flight and landing.

Under high load factor, servocontrol reversibility can be encountered

69
Cranking Procedure
The cranking procedure can be performed after an aborted start or for check or maintenance purposes. Proceed as follows: 1. Start selector - OFF. 2. Emergency fuel shut-off lever - FORWARD. 3. Ng - CHECK ≤ 10 %. 4. [FUEL P] - ON. 5. [CRANK] - PRESSED 20 sec. max. 6. [CRANK] - OFF. 7. [FUEL P] - OFF. CAUTION Do not crank the engine with the emergency fuel shutoff valve closed or with the fuel pump off as this could damage the engine high pressure fuel pump.
