IMMEDIATE ACTION EMERGENCY STEPS.
NOTE
- The urgency of certain emergencies requires immediate and instinctive action by the pilot. The most important single consideration is helicopter control. All procedures are subordinate to this requirement. The MASTER CAUTION should be reset after each malfunction to allow systems to respond to subsequent malfunctions. **If time permits during a critical emergency, transmit MAYDAY call, set transponder to emergency, jettison external stores if required, turn off boost pumps, and lock shoulder harnesses. **
- During emergencies where power may not be available or operating limits may be exceeded (i.e. engine failures, decreasing NR, compressor stalls high speed shaft failures) the crew should disengage the coupled flight director to ensure that aircraft remains within operating limits.
define LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
defined as landing at the nearest suitable landing area (e.g., open field) without delay. (The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of occupants.)
define **LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE **
defined as landing at a suitable landing area. (The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency.)
define AUTOROTATE
defined as adjusting the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational descent and landing.
EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
EP and Caution
identify the affected engine by checking ENG OUT warning lights, NP, NR, Q (torque), P (engine oil pressure), TGT, and NG.
(1. ) ENG POWER CONT lever(s) — OFF.
(2. ) ENG FUEL SYS selector(s) — OFF.
(3. ) _FUEL BOOST PUMP switch(es) — OFF. _
CAUTION
If TGT rises above 500°C after shutdown, place AIR SCE HT/START switch as required, turn ENGINE IGNITION switch OFF, and press starter to motor engine for 30 seconds or until TGT decreases below 500°C.
define LOCKOUT
defined as manual control of engine RPM while bypassing DEC/EDECU functions. Bypass of the engine control will be required when NP1 or 2 decreases below normal demand speed due to a malfunction of the DEC.
**LOCKOUT **
WARNING
Going to DEC LOCKOUT to obtain additional power does not remove Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits. NR may still decrease below normal operating range if Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits are reached.
**LOCKOUT **
CAUTION
When engine is controlled with ENG POWER CONT lever in LOCKOUT, engine response is much faster and TGT limiting system is inoperative. Care must be taken not to exceed TGT limits and keeping NR and NP 1 and 2 in operating range.
LOCKOUT
EP
ENG POWER CONT lever — Pull down and advance full forward while maintaining downward pressure, then adjust to set NR as required.
Engine control malfunctions can result in NR increasing or decreasing from normal demand speed. Under certain failure conditions, Q, NP, and NG may not be indicating and the possibility of the ENG OUT warning light and audio activating exists. The most reliable indication of engine power will be TGT.
**EMER APU START **
EP
(1. ) FUEL PUMP switch — APU BOOST.
(2. ) APU CONT switch — **ON. **
EMERGENCY EXITS
WARNING
For helicopters with a non-operational roll-trim actuator, the cyclic shall be continuously held while on the ground with rotor turning. In cases where emergency exit is required prior to rotor coasting to a stop, make sure that the cyclic stick is centered until the last crewmember can depart the cockpit. Since the main rotor shaft has a 3° forward tilt, an exit to the right rear or left rear will provide the greatest rotor clearance safety.
**EMERGENCY EQUIPMENT (PORTABLE) **
**Emergency equipment consists of **
two hand held fire extinguishers, one crash ax, and three first aid kits, as shown in Figure 9-1.
**ENGINE MALFUNCTION — PARTIAL OR COMPLETE POWER LOSS. **
WARNING
Single engine capability must be considered prior to movement of the engine power control lever. Prior to movement of either ENG POWER CONT lever, it is imperative that the malfunctioning engine and the corresponding ENG POWER CONT lever be identified. If the decision is made to shut down an engine, take at least five full seconds while retarding the ENG POWER CONT lever from FLY to IDLE, monitoring Q, NG, TGT, NP, and ENG OUT warning light on.
Dual-Engine Failure.
The flight characteristics and the required crewmember control responses after a dual-engine failure are similar to those during a normal power-on descent. Full control of the helicopter can be maintained during autorotational descent. In autorotation, as airspeed increases above (1)____________________________________. As airspeed decreases below (2)_____________________________________________.
(1) 70 - 80 KIAS, the rate of descent and glide distance increase significantly
(2) 64 KIAS, the rate of descent will increase and glide distance will decrease
**SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE **
WARNING
Do not respond to ENG OUT warning and audio until checking TGT, NG, and NP1 and NP2.
SINGLE-ENGINE FAILURE
EP
-
Collective — Adjust to maintain NR
(2. ) _External cargo/stores — Jettison (if required). _ - _Establish single-engine airspeed. _
If continued flight is not possible:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If continued flight is possible:
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
**ENGINE RESTART DURING FLIGHT. **
**After an engine failure in flight, an engine restart may be attempted. If it can be determined **
that it is reasonably safe to attempt a start, the APU should be used. Use of a crossbleed start could result in a power loss of up to 18% Q on the operational engine.
**DUAL-ENGINE FAILURE — GENERAL **
**The (1)_________and _________ (Figures 9-3 and 9-4) at which a two-engine failure occurs will dictate the action to be taken. After the failure, main rotor rpm will decay rapidly and the helicopter will (2)___________________. **
(1) altitude and airspeed
(2) yaw to the left
The recommended airspeed for autorotation is (1)_____. Autorotation below (2)______ is not recommended because (3)______________________________________. Adjusting the cyclic and collective control to maintain 100% NR and (4)______ KIAS (______ KIAS high drag) will result in achieving the maximum glide distance.
(1) 80 KIAS
(2) 80 knots
(3) the deceleration does not effectively arrest the rate of descent
(4) 110 KIAS, 100 KIAS HIGH DRAG
DURING AUTOROTATION
NR above 100% will result in (1)__________________________. At (2)_________ feet AGL, use aft cyclic to decelerate.
Ground contact should be made (3)_________________. Pitch attitudes up to (4)______ at the point of touchdown normally result in an adequate deceleration and safe landing.
(1) a higher rate of descent
(2) 50 to 75
(3) with some forward speed
(4) 25°
**DUAL-ENGINE FAILURE **
WARNING
Do not respond to ENG OUT warning lights and audio until checking TGT and NR.
DUAL-ENGINE FAILURE
EP
AUTOROTATE
**DECREASING NR **
WARNING
WARNING
NR can also decrease as a result of exceeding the Maximum Torque Available due to reaching TGT limiting, Maximum Fuel Flow, or NG limiting without an associated hardware failure.
Going to DEC LOCKOUT to obtain additional power does not remove Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits. NR may still decrease below normal operating range if Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits are reached.
DECREASING NR
CAUTION
NOTE
When engine is controlled with ENG POWER CONT lever in LOCKOUT, engine response is much faster and the TGT limiting system is inoperative. Care must be taken not to exceed TGT limits and keeping NR, NP1 and NP2 in operating range.
If NR reduces from 100% to 95-96% during steady flight, check Q1 and Q2. If Q1 and Q2 are equal and below Maximum Torque Available, attempt to increase NR with ENG SPD TRIM switch.
