Robinson R22.....Fire-in-Flight check list
In the POH, page 3-6, item number 2 in the emergency check list called "Fire in flight" for the R22 (and the R44), it states that you should turn off the "Master Battery Switch" (if times permits).
It doesn`t make any sense.
As long as the engine and the alternator is running you still have electrical power available.
However if the engine or the alternator quits you have no
- low RRPM warning light
- low RRPM warning horn
- radio
- transponder
- landing lights
- navigational aids
- possibility to restart the engine
Does anyone have any experience from a case like this?
