Pilots's Notes
PART IV
EMERGENCY HANDLING
81. Engine failure during take-off
(a) The safety speed is 160 knots (165 knots on aircraft fitted
with large intakes).
(b) Engine failure below 130 knots
When an engine cuts, the aircraft yaws violently and rolls
rapidly towards the dead engine. Close the throttles and use
coarse rudder to correct the yaw and aileron to regain level
flight. When control has been regained, jettison the drop
tanks, if fitted. It is recommended that the aircraft be
landed straight ahead.
(c) Engine failure between 130 and 160 knots
If an engine fails between 130 and 160 knots, reduce the
throttle setting and use coarse rudder and aileron to regain
level flight. Once level flight has been regained, open up
the live engine to full power. The aircraft will climb slowly
at 135 knots using full power. The rudder forces are
extremely heavy and the use of 5°-10° of bank will help
lighten the foot loads; the use of greater angles of bank
will adversely affect the climb. Allow the speed to increase
to 200 knots and climb.
(d) Engine failure above safety speed
Use rudder and aileron as required to maintain level flight.
Allow the speed to increase to 200 knots and climb.
82. Engine failure in flight
(a) If an engine fails in flight because of an obvious mechanical
defect, carry out the following drill:-
H.P. cock OFF
L.P. cock Off
L.P. pump Off
Balance cock As required
(b) When engine failure has occurred due to flame extinction
do not turn off the L.P. cock, as this may cause damage to
the fuel pump and B.P.C. 59
