EPE Nugs

EPE with Hagarty... Call me if you have him for an EPE

1.) If you get a cockpit overtemp in flight go land at the nearest field even if you get the cockpit back to normal temps. Also, if you don't need the stuff the main air supply provides (i.e. gsuit, px, defog, etc) then don't turn it back on.

2.) When he starts his jet (technique) he leaves the switch in motor until the jet lights off, that way if it doesn't like in the 20 secs you can shut it off and its already motoring. Otherwise, you'd have to wait till it stopped spinning to reengage the motor switch.

3.) If your left engine won't start have an idea how to get the right one started based on the Dual Engine flameout checklist. Also, check your alititudes as your descending to ensure you don't get below 4,000 ' AGL if you're uncontrolled or 2,000' AGL if you're controlled.

4.) He's big on TOLD, he'll ask what every number means.

happy hunting,
gonzo
