PART 1II-HANDLING


    74.  Stopping an engine

         To stop an engine in flight:-
         Throttle			Closed
         H.P. cock			OFF
         L.P. pump circuit-breaker	Out
         Balance cock			As required (see para. 47(d)
         				 (ii))
         L.P. cock			Leave on 				 

    75.  Single-engined flying                 

    (a)  Single-engine performance is very good and, after the
         rudder force has been trimmed out, the aircraft handles
         easily.  The maximum speed at sea level with ventral drop
         tank filled is approximately 330 knots.  When using full
         power, the rudder force can be trimmed out at 270 to 280
         knots and above.  The minimum speed at which the aircraft
         can be kept straight at sea level with wings level, using full
         power, is 130 knots; control can be maintained down to
         125 knots if 5°-10° of bank is applied towards the live
         engine.  Small angles of bank may be used at any speed
         below 270 knots. to relieve foot loads.
    
    (b)  Range
 
         Below 20,000 feet, range may be increased by flying on one
         engine and cruising at a speed some 30 knots lower than
         the speed for maximum range on two engines at that
         altitude

    76.  Restarting an engine in flight                 

    (a)  Derwent Mk. 8

         (i)  Attempting to relight an engine at heights above
              15,000 ft. is not recommended.  Although a succesful
              relight may be achieved, if it is attempted immediately
              flame extinction occurs, it may, if unsuccessful, jeo-
              pardise the chances of a relight below 15,000 ft.
