PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING

A.L.1                  avoid using brake unless necessary and until the speed is low.
Paras.        | (iv)  The undercarriage doors will not close until all three wheels
82(iv),83    |        are locked down.  If a visual check from the Control Tower
 84            |        confirms that the wheels are down, and the doors closed, any
Page 61      |        indication in the cockpit that the undercarriage is not locked
                |        down, can be attributed to a fault in the system.

                 83.   Flap failure and flapless landings

                   (i)   If the flaps fail to operate, there is no emergency system for
                         raising or lowering them.
                 | (ii)  If the flaps operate unequally, the selector should be returned
                 |       to its original position and the flaps left in this position.  Aileron
                 |       control is sufficient to overcome the rolling effect of unequal flap
                 |       extension
                   (iii) Landing without flap presents no difficulties; a normal circuit
                         can be made but the speed at which the airfield boundary is
                         crossed should be increased by five knots.  If the canopy is opened
                 |       immediately after touchdown, it will help to reduce the landing
                 |       run.

                  84.  Cockpit cooling unit failure
                         Failure of the cooling system will allow air at very high tempera-
                         tures to enter the cockpit.  Should this occur, proceed as
                         follows:-
                              At high altitudes turn the oxygen to emergency, depressurise
                              the cockpit by selecting RAM on the cockpit pressure switch
                              and descend to 20,000 ft. or less.

             85.  Ammunition overheat emergency shut-off
                        
                   Should the overheat indicator light come on, indicating
                   excessive temperature in the ammunition bay, pull the
                   ammunition heat emergency shut-off fully out.  This
                   cannot be reset in flight consequentially the bay will be
                   unheated for the remainder of the flight.

             86.  Forced landing
                        
                   NOTE.-Unless the proposed landing area is known to
                             be suitable in all respects, it is recommended that
                             the aircraft be abandoned.
              (i)  The engine, unless it is damaged, will windmill at
                   sufficient r.p.m. to provide power for operation of the
                   undercarriage at a reduced rate.  The flying controls
                   similarly will operate normally but excessive and coarse
                   control movements must be avoided to prevent using
                   hydraulic pressure more rapidly than the pump can
                   replace it.
