4. Shut down and exit helicopter.

Question 21

Engine Fire during flight

Answer 21

Indications:
1. Smoke
2. Fumes
3. Fire

Procedure:
1 Throttle - Closed
2. Immediately enter autorotation.
3. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF.
4. BAT switch - OFF.
5. GEN switch - OFF.
6. Execute autorotative descent and landing.

Question 22

Engine Failure - Hovering in ground effect

Answer 22

Indications:
1. Left yaw.
2. ENG OUT warning light illuminated.
3. Engine out audio (not installed).
4. ROTOR RPM decreases with ROTOR LOW caution light and audio warning.
5. Engine instruments indicate power loss.

Procedure:
1. Maintain heading and landing attitude.
2. Collective - Adjust to control rate of descent and cushion landing
(touchdown should happen before passing through 70% RRPM)
3. Land
4. Shut down helicopter

Question 23

Engine Failure - Out of Ground Effect

Answer 23

Indications:
1. Left yaw.
2. ENG OUT warning light.
3. ENG OUT audio (if installed).
4.ROTOR RPM descreases with ROTOR LOW caution light and audio on when RRPM drops below 90%.
4. Engine instruments indicate power loss.

Procedure:
1. Maintain heading and attitude control.
2. Adjust collective to maintain 90-107% RRPM.
3. Apply collective pitch as flare effect decreases to cushion landing. Make a level touchdown before passing through 70% RRPM if possible.
4. Cyclic: Adjust to obtain desired autorotative airspeed (100 KIAS MAX).
5. Attempt air restart if ample altitude remains.
6. At low altitude:
- A: Throttle closed
- B: FUEL VALVE switch - OFF
- C: Accomplish autorotative landing.
7. Complete helicopter shutdown.

(avoid excessive collective up ground run or floating in the flare).

(RRPM at the high end of the range increases rotor energy, but will also increase rate of descent).

Question 24

Engine Restart

Answer 24

(Do not attempt if signs of obvious mechanical failure)

1. Maintain control of helicopter.
2. Collective - Adjust to maintain 90-107% RRPM.
3. Throttle closed.
   4 AIRSPEED - 45-54 KIAS.
4. FUEL VALVE switch - ON.
5. START switch - Press to engage.
6. Throttle - Idle.
7. TURB OUT TEMP - Monitor range 760-826 deg C.
8. Throttle - Advance smoothly to open position.
   (IF UNABLE TO RESTART)
9. Throttle - Closed
10. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF.
11. Accomplish autorotative descent and landing.

Question 25

TURB OUT TEMP and GAS PRODUCER RPM - Check for normal indications. 3. ENG ANTI-ICING switch - OFF. (NOTE: Severe compressor stalls may require engine to be shut down. Less severe stalls may permit flight at reduced power) IF PILOT ELECTS TO CONTINUE FLIGHT: 4. Collective - Increase slowly to acheive desired power level. 5. TOT and N2 - Monitor for normal responses. 6. Land as soon as practical. IF PILOT ELECTS TO SHUT DOWN ENGINE: 7. Throttle - Closed. 8. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF. 9.

Procedure: 1. Reduce AIRSPEED to 61-69 KIAS. 2. HYDR SYSTEM circuit breaker - OUT. If power not restored, push breaker in. 3. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM - ON. OFF if power not restored. 4. Land as soon as practical and investigate. 5. A run on landing at approximately 9 KIAS is recommended.

Question 29

COMPLETE LOSS OF TR THRUST

Answer 29

Indications: 1. Uncontrollable right yaw. 2. Nose down tucking. 3. Possible roll of the fuselage. Procedure: HOVERING: Close throttle completely and perform hover auto. IN FLIGHT: Throttle - Idle and enter autorotation. Maintain at least 52 KIAS during descent. (low power flight may be possible). (execute a slightly nose high landing)

Question 30

FIXED PITCH FAILURES

Answer 30

Indications: 1. Lack of directional response. 2. Locked pedals. HOVERING: Do not close throttle completely unless severe right yaw. Land from a hover. IN FLIGHT - LEFT PEDAL APPLIED: Land in a sideslip with sufficiently low airspeed. Raising collective before touchdown will reduce left yaw. IN FLIGHT - RIGHT PEDAL APPLIED: Perform run on landing. reduce throttle to maintain heading as you raise collective to cushion landing. If right yaw becomes excessive, close throttle completely. (Do not force stuck pedals)

Indications: 1. DC loadmeter indicates excessive load. 2. Smoke or fumes. Procedure: 1. GEN switch. - OFF. 2. BAT switch - OFF. 3. LEFT FUEL BOOST circuit breaker - Check in. 4. Land as soon as practical. (altitude must be reduced below 6000' before battery depletion. Unuseable fuel may be as high as 160 lbs after battery is depleted) (left boost pump will operate about 3 hours day, 1 hour night with unnecessary electrical equipment turned off)

Question 33
