PA34-220T - EMERGENCY CHECKLIST
AUTOPILOT MALFUNCTION
Indication: Unexpected or uncommanded autopilot control inputs.

Condition: A failure has occurred in the autopilot.
Objective: To disengage the autopilot and regain control of the aeroplane.
Autopilot malfunctions can cause significant attitude and altitude deviations of

up to 57° bank and 380' altitude loss.
Regain aeroplane control by firmly grasping the control wheel and
overpowering the autopilot servos

• Do not re-engage the autopilot

EMERGENCY

PITCH TRIM RUNAWAY
Indication: Uncommanded pitch trim motion

Condition: A failure in the electrical pitch trim system has occurred
Objective: To disengage the electric pitch trim and regain control of the
aeroplane.
Regain aeroplane control by firmly grasping the control wheel and

overpowering the autopilot servos
1. AP DISC / TRIM INTER BUTTON.............PRESS and HOLD

2. ELEV TRIM MASTR SWITCH..........................................OFF
3. PITCH TRIM CIRCUIT BREAKER..................................PULL
Row 1, column 13
4. STABILATOR TRIM.........................................AS REQUIRED
Manually re-trim the aeroplane
5. AP DISC / TRIM INTER BUTTON...........................RELEASE
Autopilot operation will require the aeroplane to be manually
trimmed.

by a reduction in current during one on the 90 second cycles.
If vibration is resolved:
If vibration persists:
2. PROP HEAT SWITCH......................................................OFF
ICE PROTECT
Propeller heat must be switched off if vibration persists. Uneven
heating may lead to propeller or engine failure.

SURFACE DE-ICE FAILURE
SURF DEICE FAIL SURF DEICE FAIL

Condition: Surface de-ice system has either failed to achieve adequate air
pressure or failed to deflate.
Objective: To restore surface de-ice system.
1. SURF DE-ICE CIRCUIT BREAKER.............................RESET

Row 5, column 13

ICE PROTECT

VACUUM PUMP FAILURE - DOUBLE
VAC PRESS LOW VAC PRESS LOW

Condition: Both vacuum pumps have failed.
1. VACUUM INDICATION................................................CHECK
The vacuum indication is on the MFD ENGINE page.

Wing and tail icing boots are inoperative.
• Depending upon conditions, consider a precautionary landing.
VACUUM PUMP FAILURE - SINGLE
L VAC FAIL R VAC FAIL
Indication: CAS advisory message.
ICE PROTECT
Condition: One vacuum pump has failed.
1. VACUUM INDICATION................................................CHECK
The vacuum indication is on the MFD ENGINE page.
• Operate de-icing boots as normal.

Either pump has sufficient capacity to operate the deicing boots
but intentional operation in icing conditions is not recommended.

WINDSHIELD HEAT FAILURE
Indication: Ice on heated plate and no amp rise when windshield heat
activated.
Condition: A failure in the windshield heat system has occurred.
Objective: To restore windshield heat.
1. WSHLD HEAT SWITCH....................................................OFF

2. WSHLD HEAT CIRCUIT BREAKER............................RESET
Row 5, column 12
3. WSHLD HEAT SWITCH.....................................................ON

ICE PROTECT

ENGINE POWER OVERBOOST
Indication: Master warning, flashing manifold pressure indication.

Condition: A partial loss of engine power due to a turbocharger malfunction.
Likely to be caused by the waste gate failing in the CLOSED
position.
If a failure in the exhaust system is suspected:
If a failure in the exhaust system is not suspected:

Affected Engine:
1. THROTTLE.............................................................≤ 38" MAP
Expect sensitive manifold pressure response to be throttle
movements.
2. PROPELLER....................................................AS REQUIRED
3. MIXTURE................................................................FULL RICH

TURBO

COMPLETE LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
Condition: A complete loss of engine power due to a turbocharger

malfunction.

Affected Engine:
1. MIXTURE.................................................................CUT-OFF
2. THROTTLE................................................CRUISE SETTING
3. PROPELLER................................................FULL INCREASE
4. MIXTURE................................................ADVANCE SLOWLY
When engine restarts adjust for smooth engine operation.
5. POWER...............................................MINIMUM REQUIRED

TURBO

PARTIAL LOSS OF ENGINE POWER
Condition: A partial loss of engine power due to a turbocharger malfunction.

Likely to be caused by the waste gate failing in the OPEN
position.

Affected Engine:
2. PROPELLER....................................................AS REQUIRED
3. MIXTURE..........................................................AS REQUIRED
