If the power lever is stuck at or near the full power position, proceed to a suitable airfield. Fly a forced landing pattern. With landing assured, shut down engine by moving mixture control full aft to CUTOFF. If power is needed again, return mixture control to full RICH and regain safe pattern parameters or go-around. If airspeed cannot be controlled, shut engine down and perform the Forced Landing
checklist. After landing, bring the airplane to a stop and complete the Emergency Engine Shutdown on Ground checklist.

Question 30

Alternator Failure (cause) -- ALT caution light

Answer 30

The most likely the cause of the alternator failure is a wiring fault, a malfunctioning alternator, or a malfunctioning control unit. Usually, electrical power malfunctions are accompanied by an excessive rate of charge or a discharge rate shown on the ammeter.

Question 31

Alternator (CAUTION)

Answer 31

Alternators in this airplane are self-exciting. These alternators require battery power for alternator starting; however, once started, the alternators will provide self-generated field power to continue operation in case of a battery failure. To assure alternator restart power is available if the alternators fail, the batteries should not be turned off during flight.

Question 32

Alternator (reduce electrical load)

Answer 32

If it is necessary to reduce electrical loads due to an alternator malfunction, switch off electrical components and/or systems that are not essential for the current flight conditions rather than pulling circuit breakers. Load shedding in this manner will prevent accidental circuit breaker disconnection and loss of power to flight-critical systems. See Figure Electrical Power Distribution, for details on electrical busses and what components/systems they power.

Question 33

ALT 1 Light Steady

Answer 33

1. ALT 1 Master Switch .............................................................OFF 2. Alternator 1 Circuit Breaker....................CHECK and RESET 3. ALT 1 Master Switch .............................................................ON If alternator does not reset: 4. Switch off unnecessary equipment on Main Bus 1, Main Bus 2, and the Non-Essential Buses to reduce loads. Monitor voltage. 5. ALT 1 Master Switch ............................................................OFF 6. Land as soon as practical.

Question 34

ALT 1 Light Flashing The most likely cause is a severely discharged battery along with heavy equipment loads. In this event, reduce loads on Main and Non-Essential buses and monitor amperage until charging rate is within normal limits. Then loads can be added as required.

Answer 34

1. Ammeter Switch.....................................................................BATT 2. If charging rate is greater than 30 amps, reduce load on Main Bus 1, Main Bus 2, and Non-Essential buses. 3. Monitor ammeter until battery charge rate is less than 15 amps. 4. When battery charge rate is within limits, add loads as necessary for flight conditions.

Question 35

ALT 2 Light Steady Except during low RPM operations, steady illumination indicates a failure of ALT 2. If alternator cannot be brought back, Essential bus loads will be powered from ALT 1, BAT 1, and BAT 2. • Note • ALT 2 light will illuminate steady and ALT 2 will not come on line until 1700 - 2200 RPM.

Answer 35

1. ALT 2 Master Switch ...........................................................OFF 2. Alternator 2 Circuit Breaker ...............CHECK and RESET 3. ALT 2 Master Switch ............................................................ON If alternator does not reset: 4. Switch off unnecessary equipment on Main Bus 1, Main Bus 2,and Non-Essential Buses to reduce loads. 5. ALT 2 Master Switch ..........................................................OFF 6. Land as soon as practical.

Question 36

LOW VOLTS Warning Light Illuminated Illumination of the LOW VOLTS light indicates that the voltage measured at the Essential Bus is 24.5 volts or less. Typically, this indicates that the airplane is operating on battery power only and both alternators have failed or are off.

Answer 36

1. Land as soon as practical.

Question 37

Communications Failure

Answer 37

1. Switches, Controls ...........................................................CHECK 2. Frequency ......................................................................CHANGE 3. Circuit Breakers.................................................................CHECK 4. Headset........................................................................... CHANGE 5. Hand Held Microphone ............................................CONNECT

Question 38

If erroneous readings of the static source instruments (airspeed,altimeter and vertical speed) are suspected - Static Source Blocked

Answer 38

The alternate static source valve, on side of console near pilot’s right ankle, should be opened to supply static pressure from the cabin to these instruments.

Question 39

Static Source Blocked (notes)

Answer 39

If selecting the alternate static source does not work, in an emergency, cabin pressure can be supplied to the static pressure instruments by breaking the glass in the face of the vertical speed indicator. When static pressure is supplied through the vertical speed indicator, the vertical speed UPDOWN indications will be reversed (i.e., the needle will indicate UP for descent and DOWN for climb). With the alternate static source on, adjust indicated airspeed slightly during climb or approach according to the Airspeed Calibration (Alternate Static Source) table in Section 5 as appropriate for vent/ heater configuration.

Question 40

Static Source Blocked

Answer 40

1. Pitot Heat ...................................................................................ON 2. Alternate Static Source .....................................................OPEN

Question 41

Pitot Tube Blocked

Answer 41

If only the airspeed indicator is providing erroneous information, and in icing conditions, the most probable cause is pitot ice. If setting Pitot Heat ON does not correct the problem, descend to warmer air. If an approach must be made with a blocked Pitot tube, use known pitch and power settings and the GPS groundspeed indicator, taking surface winds into account

Question 42

Electric Trim/Autopilot Failure

Answer 42

Any failure or malfunction of the electric trim or autopilot can be overridden by use of the control yoke. If runaway trim is the problem, deenergize the circuit by pulling the circuit breaker (PITCH TRIM, ROLL TRIM, or AUTOPILOT) and land as soon as conditions permit.

Question 43

Electric Trim/Autopilot Failure (procedures)

Answer 43

1. Airplane Control ................................MAINTAIN MANUALLY 2. Autopilot (if engaged) ...........................................Disengage If Problem Is Not Corrected: 3. Circuit Breakers.........................................PULL AS Required • PITCH TRIM • ROLL TRIM • AUTOPILOT 4. Power Lever ......................................................AS REQUIRED 5. Control Yoke.........................MANUALLY HOLD PRESSURE 6. Land as soon as practical.
