Flight Day 33  

Posted by y. 源

Today I flew the last GH Solo sortie, GH10. Again, I practiced all the air exercises, trying to simulate the flight test procedure, PT1. Nothing much to talk about it since it was same like previous solo GH sorties. But for today's post, I will include two emergencies procedures for you all to read.



Rough Engine/Power Loss:
1)select attitude of 75kts
2)power lever max
3)check engine caution light
4)if on, check Compact Engine Display.
5)Check main fuel tank quantity
6)Fuel transfer pump on
7)Emergency Fuel valve check normal
8)swap to ECU B
9)Engine master OFF, then ON
10)If no success, ECU swap back to AUTO.

Engine Failure After Take-Off:
1)Select attitude of 75kts
2)pick a suitable place to land
3)Emergency Fuel valve check OFF
4)Engine Master OFF
5)Make a MAYDAY CALL
6)When assured to land, put FLAPS as required
7)Electric master OFF.
8)Secure seatbelts, unlatch the canopy and brace for impact.



Today actually I was not even programmed to fly any Solo sortie. I waited until the very last minute hoping for an aircraft for me to fly. My schedule was actually to fly my Nav3 with my instructor. The weather was so damn good in the noon and evening. But there was no aircraft for us to fly. Plus, there was some para-jump activities at the mainland and thus we were not allowed to fly into the mainland for navigation sorties. Tomorrow's schedule is out again and Nav3 for me at 7.30am. My instructor fell sick, so I am not sure whether he is flying with me tomorrow or what. And as usual, the availability of aircrafts is another question.
