PART IV-EMERGENCY HANDLING
A.L.4/58 2. At best gliding speed the aircraft will cover
approximately 2 miles per 1,000 ft.
3. With normal services running the battery cannot
be relied on for more than approx. 5 minutes.
All non-essential services including booster
pumps should therefore be switched off to con-
serve battery power.
4. Descending rapidly at a speed above 200 knots
will increase windmilling r.p.m. Consequently
hydraulic pressure will be higher and the
generators may continue to supply power.
(c) Relighting
NOTE:- This drill applies irrespective of the position
of the jet pipe eyelids. Relights are obtained
more easily at lower altitudes and with lower air-
speeds. Every precaution should be taken to
ensure success at the first attempt due to the
loads on the battery. If the engine and its fuel
system are serviceable and the drill is followed
correctly, a relight should occur at the first
attempt.
(i) Check and/or set:-
Maximum altitude 35,000 ft.
Maximum airspeed 200 knots above 25,000 ft.
0.80M below 25,000 ft.
All non-essential OFF (See para. 89(b)).
electrics
Throttle Closed.
Battery master switch ON.
A.L.1/57 Ignition circuit breaker IN.
Starter master switch ON.
Fuel master switch ON.
Furl override switch NORMAL (but TAKE-OFF
if low pressure warning is
white).
A.L.3/57 Reheat L.P. cock Closed
(ii) Press the relight button and al the same time open
the H.P. cock fully, keeping the relight button
pressed until the engine lights up and r.p.m. rise by
about 200. R.p.m. should commence to rise almost
immediately. When the r.p.m. rise to idling, increase
power carefully. 70
