You’ve got Tracy’s EC2 and EM2. You’re
flying along and the engine suddenly quits. After you establish glide, think
about which way to head for possible landing – What’s the first
thing you do? Second thing?
Electrical still on
Possible failures:
Fuel pump
ECU
One set of injectors out
Fuel supply interrupted (broken/plugged)
MAP sensor line broken (Would engine stop, or just get
very rich?)
????
I think: turn on backup pump and switch to
controller B. Check for fuel pressure, if not, set up for landing. If
so, try restart. No start, turn off one set of injectors. Still no
start; switch to other set. Then ??
Anyway, just thinking out loud. It would be helpful
to see emergency checklists regarding engine issues from some of you guys
flying. Tracy, you’re first (well, you
can decline). And maybe one of you other guys who has also chosen not to fly
through the prop wash (Can’t see whether prop turns or not).
Thanks,
Al
