Para. 49
Page 42             Throttled, the light should go out in 3 to 4 seconds, indicating a split air casing, in
                       which case it is safe to use the engine to continue the flight although when power
                       is increased, the light will come on again.  If on closing the throttle the light does
                       not go out after 3 to 4 seconds it indicates a fire in the nacelle independent of a
                       split air casing, and the normal fire action should be taken. 

      50.  Crash landing

      (i)  Open the canopy.
     (ii)  Tighten the safety harness.
    (iii)  Keep the undercarriage retracted.
     (iv)  Maintain a speed of 130 knots while manoeuvring with
           the flaps up.
      (v)  Do not lower the flaps fully until it is certain that the
           landing ground can be reached under full control.
     (vi)  Make the final approach under power, if available.
    (vii)  If time permits before the impact and it is not already done,
           turn off the high-pressure cock.

      51.  Ditching

      (i)  Whenever possible the aircraft should be abandoned by
           parachute rather than be ditched, since model tests indicate
           that, in any but the calmest seas, the ditching qualities
           will be poor.
     (ii)  If ditching is inevitable :-
           (a)  The canopy should be jettisoned.
           (b)  Drop tanks and external stores should be jettisoned.
           (c)  The undercarriage should be kept retracted, but the
                flaps should be lowered 40° to reduce the touchdown 
                speed as much as possible.
           (d)  The safety harness should be tightly adjusted and the
                R/T and oxygen disconnected.
           (e)  If power is available, it should be used to help make
                the touchdown attitude at as low a forward speed as
                possible.
           (f)  Ditching should be along the swell or into wind if
                the swell is not steep.
           (g)  When contact with the water is made, the tailplane
                will probably break off and the aircraft will tend to
                bounce,

      52.   Emergency equipment

      (i)  A crowbar is stowed in spring clips on the port side of the
           bulkhead behind the pilot's seat.
