I play mental "What if.." games when I fly, trying to imagine the best
way to handle an in-flight emergeny. One of the aircraft I fly is a 1982 Piper Turbo Arrow IV. Nowhere in the POH does it mention the emergency procedure for a turbocharger failure resulting in an oil fed fire in the engine compartment. Do you drop the gear or leave it up? My thinking is to drop it to keep the nose gear tire from being consumed as additional fuel and to move more air through the engine compartment while in a dive/steep descent to blow out a fire Anyone with actual experience? Other thoughts? |
