PART IV-EMERGENCY HANDLING
(iii) If no relight occurs within 30 seconds, release the
relight button. close the H.P. cock, switch off the
booster pumps. Allow if possible, 30 seconds for
the engine to dry out before the next attempt.
(d) Emergency relighting
(i) In circumstances where the engine cannot he relit by
use of the above drill, provided that the pilot is
reasonably certain that the fault lies in the relight
button circuit, it may he possible to obtain a light-
up using the starter pushbutton in the following
way:-
(ii) To ensure that a live cartridge is not fired, the spent
cartridge with which the engine was ground-started
should first he mechanically reindexed. To do this,
set the starter master switch OFF and then press
the starter pushbutton fully in twice, pausing for an
instant between each operation to allow the button
to spring fully out.
(iii) Check and/or set:-
Maximum altitude 15,000 ft.

Throttle Closed.
Battery master switch ON.
Booster pumps ON.
Starter master switch ON.
Ignition switch ON.
A.L.1/57 Ignition circuit breaker IN.
(iv) Press the starter push-button again and then open
the H.P. cock fully. The igniters will then function
but if the reindexing drill has been correctly carried
out a cartridge will not be fired. If no relight occurs
within 30 seconds, set the H.P. cock OFF when the
starter button comes out. The spent cartridge must
be reindexed as in (ii) above before any further
attempt is made.
WARNING:-If for any reason the reindexing drill has
not been correctly carried out and a live
cartridge is indexed when the starter
button is finally pressed, it is probable
that damage will be caused to the starter
and to the aircraft. This probability
may be lessened to some extent if the
engine windmilling speed is low and
positive G is not applied at the time of
operating the pushbutton. 71
