If using fuel from same side as op engine:

Fuel selector (op engine) On


Aux fuel pumps Off

If using fuel from opposite side of op engine:

Fuel selector (op engine) Crossfeed


Aux fuel pumps Off

*Cross feed in level flight only

** Does not cross feed with full fuel on same side as op engine. Vapor return fuel flow will be vented overboard.

ENGINE FAILURE IN ICING CONDITIONS

Select alternate air and attempt restart. If unable to restart engine:

Prop (inop) Feather

Airspeed Blue line or above

Electrical load Reduce

Land as soon as practicable. Maintain at least blue line on final. Do not extend gear or flaps until runway is assured.

Flaps on final Extend, 25°

PA34-200T Piper Seneca II___________Emergency procedures

ALTERNATOR FAILURE IN ICING CONDITIONS

Over-voltage relay Reset

Circuit breakers Check and reset

If unable to restore alternator:

Avionics Off, except Nav com and transponder

Windshield heat Off

Gear may require free fall extension prior to landing

ENGINE DRIVEN FUEL PUMP FAILURE

Throttle Retard

Aux fuel pump Unlatch, on high

Throttle 75% power or less

If normal Engine operation and fuel flow are not reestablished, auxiliary fuel pump should be turned off. Lack of fuel flow while on high setting may indicate fuel leak or fuel exhaustion.

Auxiliary fuel pumps should only be used for fuel vapor suppression(Low) or emergency use(High). High setting during normal engine operation may cause power loss.

GEAR UNSAFE WARNING

Red light indicates gear in transit. Recycle gear if indication continues. Light will illuminate when gear horn sounds at low throttle settings.

PA34-200T Piper Seneca II________Emergency procedures

MANUAL GEAR EXTENSION

Check before extending gear manually:

Circuit breakers In

Master switch On

Alternators Check

Nav lights Off (daytime)

To extend, re-position clip downward and clear of knob and proceed as follows:

Airspeed 85 Kias max

Gear selector Down

Emergency gear extension knob Pull

Indicator lights 3 Green

Leave emergency gear extension knob out

ELECTRICAL FAILURES

ALT annunciation light illuminated:

Ammeters Determine inop alternator

If both alternators inop, reduce electrical load. Turn OFF both switches then on one at a time to observe ammeters. Determine alternator showing least amps and turn it’s switch off.

Electrical loads Re-establish up to 60 Amps

If one ammeter shows zero output, cycle its switch off, then on. If power is not restored check circuit breakers and reset once if required. If alternator remains inop, reduce electrical load and continue flight. Compass error may exceed 10° with both alternators inop.
