PART IV - EMERGENCY HANDLING

                  (c)  Lower the flaps.  These will collapse on impact and
                        therefore cause no tendency to dive.
                  (d)  Switch OFF the engine master, generator and
                        battery-starter switch, in that order, to allow time for
                        the L.P. cock to close.
                  (e)  Tighten and lock the harness.
                  (f)  Touchdown in a nose-up attitude.  If the aircraft is
                        ditched in a near-level attitude it will dive violently
                        shortly after contact.
                        
A.L.1           87A. Sticking of slats
Para. 87A
Page 63      |        Under certain conditions of flight, e.g. a high-speed stall
              |        in a steep climbing turn, it may be possible to have one
              |        slat jam at the outboard edge while the other slat opens
              |        normally.  This causes the aircraft to flick out of control
              |        in an erratic spiral dive.  The method of recovery is to
              |        increase speed by closing the air brakes, if open, keeping
              |        the nose down and increasing power.
              |
A.L.2         | 87B. Failure of linkage between the control column and the
Paras. 87B   |        artificial feel system
and 87C      |
Page 63      |        to failure of the connecting linkage, the flying tail can
              |        still be controlled through approximately half its normal
              |        range by the trimmer control.
              |
              | 87C. Failure of r.p.m. indicator in flight
              |
              |  (i)   If the r.p.m. indicator fails in flight, the oil pressure
              |        should be checked, since the common drive to the tacho-
              |        generator and the main oil pump may have failed.
              |  (ii)  If the oil pressure drops to zero, power should be
              |        reduced as much as possible and a landing made as soon
              |        as possible.
              |  (iii) Engine failure will result soon after the flow of oil ceases,
              |        but the interval before failure will be increased by the use
              |        of reduced power.
