PART IV-EMERGENCY HANDLING


     (e)  Engine seizure

          If flame extinction occurs due to mechanical failure of
          the engine, take the following immediate action:-
          H.P. cock			OFF.
          L.P. cock			OFF.
          V.I. tailplane		-1°
          All non-essential electrics OFF. Do not attempt relight.
          (See paras. 82, 84 and 89.)

     77.  Action in the event of a fire

     (a)  Should a fire occur in the engine, indicated by either of
          the fire warning lights coming on, close the throttle
          immediately. If the warning light goes out, land as soon
          as possible, keeping power to a minimum.

     (b)  If the warning light does not go out, take the following
          immediate actions:-
          H.P. cock			OFF.
          L.P. cocks			OFF.
          Fuel master switch		OFF.
          Reduce airspeed to as low as practicable and press the
          fire-extinguisher button in which the warning light has
          appeared.

     (c)  If the fire persists, indicated by either light remaining on,
          the aircraft should be abandoned.

     (d)  If the lire is extinguished, the warning light should go
          out when the flame switches cool. If there are still
          obvious indications of a fire, even though the warning
          light has gone out, the aircraft should he abandoned.

     (e)  Any further attempt to relight the engine may result in
          a further outbreak of fire which will be uncontrollable,
          since the extinguishers cannot he used again.

     78.  Action in the event of hot gas warning

     (a)  If reheat is on, it should be cancelled and speed reduced
          below 0.92M.

     (b)  When the reheat is off, a hot gas warning is unlikely, but
          it is possible in the event of incorrect nozzle position. If
          this occurs the light will go out when the nozzles close
          properly.
