PART 1II-HANDLING
Open the H.P. cock, press and hold in the relight
button until the r.p.m. rise. Normally light-up occurs
in 10-15 seconds but the button may be depressed for
a maximum period of 30 seconds. When the engine is
running normally, open up to the desired r.p.m.
(vi) If an engine fails to relight, one minute should be
allowed to elapse before a further attempt is made at
a lower altitude and/or lower airspeed.
77. Asymmetric landing and overshoot
(a) A single-engined landing presents little difficulty. Make a
normal circuit, lowering the undercarriage and one-third
flap in the normal position. Maintain 150 knots across
wind until on the final approach, with approximately
10,000 r.p.m. set. Do not lower full-flap until a decision to
land has been made. Reduce speed on the final approach
and use the normal threshold speeds.
(b) Single-engined overshoot
(i) 1. Starboard engine failed. Leave the undercarriage
down but raise the flaps.
2. Port engine failed. Raise both the undercarriage
and flaps.
(ii) Lower the nose to gain speed, at the same time in-
creasing power. Going round again from 140 knots in
the above configuration involves no loss of height.
The foot loads in the overshoot are very heavy.
TARGET TOWING
78. Dart target (Naval aircraft only)
(a) Take-off
Line up on the runway centre line and select 1/3 flap down.
Increase power until the brakes no longer hold, then
release the brakes and open up to full power. Raise the
nose at 80-85 knots, unstick at 90-100 knots and select
undercarriage up. Hold the aircraft down until 130-140
knots is attained, then firmly ease the aircraft into a steep
climb, allowing the airspeed to fall to 115-120 knots. At56
