REGULATIONS

Section 3051                                 ENGINE FAILURES

A. AT TAKE-OFF

1. In the event of engine failure at take-off with the airplane still on the ground and an indicated airspeed of less than 85 MPH cut the throttles and attempt to stop the airplanes within the field boundary. 

2. If the indicated airspeed is greater than 85 MPH and the pilot elects to continue the the take-off, apply full take-off power to both engines until the indicated airspeed is 110 MPH or obstructions are cleared and it is definitely known which engine has failed. 

Use 2250 RPM and 43" Boost on G-102 engines.

Use 2700 RPM and 48" Boost on R-1830-92.

3. Feather the propeller on the dead engine in accordance with paragraph C. Turn off fuel and ignition. Set mixture control in "cut-off".

4. When the airplane is sufficiently airborne, reduce power on good engine to:

2100 RPM and 35" Boost  

2550 RPM and 42" Boost 

5. Circle field making all turns toward the live engine if possible. Adjust power to maintain desired airspeed. (See paragraph E for discussion of single engine flight attitude.)

6. Always raise or extend flaps and gear slowly during single engine operation to avoid sudden stalling of the airplane. 

B. FUEL PRESSURE FAILURE DURING TAKE-OFF

In the even of fuel pressure failure on one engine during take-off:

1. The First Officer who should have his hand on wobble pump during take-off, will immediately operate wobble pump until the difficulty can be located and the fuel valve properly set.

IF failure of engine driven fuel pump occurs on take-off, it will not be apparent until electric fuel booster pumps are turned off at 500 feet. If pressure drops off when boosters are turned off turn them back on and return to field. 

2. If fuel pressure remains low or only comes partially back up to normal even with vigorous pumping of the wobble pump, a line between the tank selector (for the engine with

Complete fuel pressure failure during take-off may be due to clogging of the tank outlet, and an attempt should be made to bring the fuel pressure back by turning tank selector
