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. 72
