PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING
occurs or fall below 80 per cent., subsequent to
failure at a higher r.p.m., the throttle must be closed
to IDLE before switching on the emergency system.
The throttle may then be slowly re-opened.
(d) If the combustion has ceased, leave the emergency
system switched ON and relight as detailed in
paragraph 75.
(e) If the precautions stated in (b) and (c) above are
not observed there is a possibility of dangerous over-
heating or compressor stall.
(f) Once the emergency system is in use, all throttle
movements, particularly at high altitudes, must be
slow and smooth, to avoid flame extinction or
engine overspeeding.
75. Relighting
(i) Relighting should not be attempted above 15,000 feet
as there is little likelihood of a successful relight and
it may jeopardise the chance of a second attempt at
lower altitude.
(ii) If flame extinction was caused through throttle mis-
handling, and failure of the main fuel system is not sus-
pected, the emergency fuel system should not be switched
on as its use reduces the chance of success.
(iii)Set:
Throttle to OFF
Engine master, generator and battery starter switches all
ON
All non-essential electrical loads off
Emergency fuel switch ON (if main fuel system failure
is suspected).
(iv) Reduce airspeed to 185 kts. so as to maintain r.p.m.
at less than 15 per cent. and turn the relighting switch
(marked EMERGENCY IGNITION) ON. Open the
throttle to just below the idling gate and wait until a
rising j.p.t. indicates combustion has taken place.
(v) If there is no combustion within 20 seconds slowly close
the throttle and re-open it to the same position. Repeat
this procedure until ignition occurs or one minute has
elapsed. If unsuccessful, close the throttle and switch
off the relighting switch. Raise the nose for about 5
seconds to drain accumulated fuel and then repeat the
procedure.
(vi) When relight takes place and the j.p.t. has stabilized, turn
the relighting switch OFF and open the throttle slowly
