3.2.3 ENGINE PROBLEMS IN FLIGHT
(h) High Fuel Flow
– (DA 40 only)
Fuel flow in red sector
1. Fuel pressure .................................... check for red FUEL PRESS LO message
• If fuel pressure is low (FUEL PRESS LO message), there is possibly a
leak (between the injection system and the injectors). Land at the
nearest available airport.
• If there is no FUEL PRESS LO message, there is no leak; the likely
cause is a defective fuel flow indication, which should thus be ignored
(the airplane should be serviced). Fuel flow data should be taken from
the engine performance table in Chapter 5 of the AFM.
(g) High Fuel Flow –
(DA 40 F only)
1. Fuel Quantity ............................................................ Check and Monitor
2. Power Setting ................................................................................. Check
Land as soon as practical. Consider the reduced range and endurance due to
possible loss of fuel.
NOTE
Have the airplane inspected before next flight.
3.3.3 SMOKE AND FIRE IN FLIGHT
(b) Electrical fire with smoke in flight
1. Emergency switch .................................................................... ON if installed
CAUTION
Switching OFF the master switch (ALT/BAT) will lead to total loss of all
electronic and electric equipment, including the AHRS and attitude display.
However, by switching the HORIZON EMERGENCY switch ON, the
emergency battery will supply power to the standby attitude gyro (artificial
horizon) and the flood light.
In case of extreme smoke development, the front canopy may be unlatched
during flight. This allows it to partially open, in order to improve ventilation.
The canopy will remain open in this position. Flight characteristics will not be
affected significantly.
