LAND / SHUT DOWN / EXIT
TAIL ROTOR FAILURE
AT HOVER
PROCEDURES
- In the event of rapid uncontrollable yawing - CLOSE both throttles
- PERFORM HOVER AUTOROTATION
In the event of a fixed pitch failure
- Collective - Gradually reduce to accomplish a power-on touchdown
TAIL ROTOR FAILURE
INFLIGHT
COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST
INDICATIONS
Tail rotor quits turning, no thrust delivered by tail rotor.
- Result in nose RIGHT yaw
- Collective - LOWER and enter into autorotation if neccessary to control heading
Its possible that a stabilized powered flight condition can be achieved if loss of tail rotor thrust occurred at cruise airspeed. Once stabilized in autorotation, some power may be applied (altitude permitting) to determine if powered flight is possible. If any adverse yawing is again experienced, reenter autorotation and continue descent to landing.
During final stages of approach, a mild flare should be executed and all the power to the rotor should be off. Maintain helicopter in mild flare and use collective smoothly to execute a soft, slightly nose high landing. Landing of the aft portion of the skids will tend to correct the side drift. This technique will, in most cases, result in a run on type landing.
FIXED PITCH
FAILURES:
LEFT PEDAL
LEFT PEDAL APPLIED
These failures are characterized by either a lack of directional response when a pedal is pushed or by locked pedals. If a pedal cannot be moved with a moderate amount of force, do not attempt to apply maximum effort since a more serious malfunction could result.
If tail rotor pitch becomes fixed at a high power condition (left pedal applied), helicopter will yaw left when power is reduced. Power should be reapplied and air speed adjusted to a value where a comfortable yaw angle can be maintained. If air speed is increased the verticle fin will become more effective and an increased left yaw (direct from RFM, I think it’s typo and they meant right) will develop. To accomplish landing, establish a power-on approach with sufficiently low air speed (zero is neccessary) to attain a rate of descent with a comfortable sideslip angle.
As collective increased just before touchdown, left yaw will decrease.
RIGHT PEDAL APPLIED
If tail rotor pitch becomes fixed during cruise flight or reduced power situation (right pedal applied), helicoper will yaw right when power is increased. For either of these situations, a low power run-on type landing can be performed. Reduce throttle to maintain heading when adding collective to cushion landing. If right yaw becomes excessive, roll throttles off completely. (First 10% of throttle movement will be ineffective in yaw control).
FIXED PITCH FAILURES
RIGHT PEDAL
RIGHT PEDAL APPLIED
If tail rotor pitch becomes fixed during cruise flight or reduced power situation (right pedal applied), helicopter will yaw right when power is increased. For either of these situations, a
low power run-on type landing can be performed. Reduce throttles to maintain heading when adding collective to cushion landing. If right yaw becomes excessive, roll off throttles completely. (First 10% of throttle movement will be ineffective in yaw control)
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
FAILURE
INDICATIONS
- Grinding or howling noise from pump.
- Fluctuating or low hydraulic pressure on affected system.
- 1 HYD/HYD 2 caution message illuminated.
- PAGE 2 caution message illuminated (if system temperature is high).
- High tail rotor pedal force (if system 1 failed).
CAUTION
CYCLIC AND COLLECTIVE RATE LIMITING AND/OR CONTROL FEEDBACK MAY BE EVIDENT DURING ABRUPT MANEUVERS
PROCEDURES
- Airspeed — 100 to 120 KIAS.
- HYD PRESS and TEMP — Check.
- HYD SYS switch (Affected system) — OFF.
SEAT BELT and NO SMOKE switch — ON.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
NOTE
If hydraulic system 1 fails, it is recommended that a hover or very slow run-on type landing into wind (apparent forward groundspeed of a walk) be made due to increased tail rotor pedal forces. Any landing should be with little or no lateral
speed to preclude side loading of the landing gear.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEM
SERVOACTUATOR
MALFUNCTION
Hydraulic system consists of two completely independent power control subsystems. If an actuator servo valve malfunction occurs, such as a jammed valve caused by foreign material, emergency servo valve bypass is actuated
through pilot control inputs to maintain hydraulic powered flight control. However, pilot control force required to accomplish bypass operation in affected actuator will be higher than normal and should cue pilot that a hydraulic malfunction has occurred. This increase in force will be noted only in control axis powered by malfunctioning actuator. Hydraulic pressure will remain normal.
INDICATIONS
- Erratic control response.
- Intermittent uncommanded control inputs.
- Abnormally high control forces in a single axis.
PROCEDURES
CAUTION: DO NOT TURN OFF EITHER HYDRAULIC SYSTEM.
- Airspeed — 100 to 120 KIAS.
- SEAT BELT and NO SMOKE switch — ON.

- VHF COMM 1 — Transmission limited to
- 1 minute per 10 minutes of operation.
FUEL SYSTEM
NOTES
Fuel system malfunctions which cause illumination of a warning, caution, or advisory messages are presented in tables 3-1, 3-2, and 3-3. These include low engine fuel pump pressure, low fuel quantity, and malfunctions of fuel filter, fuel valve, and fuel interconnect valve. Other malfunctions which may not be indicated initially by a caution or warning message are presented below.
FUEL SYSTEM MALFUNCTION BREAKAWAY VALVE
A breakaway valve is installed between each wing fuel cell and its adjoining underseat fuel cell. Valve should be open at all times, but it is designed to close if the wing separates from fuselage during an accident, thus minimizing fuel spillage.
In event of a malfunction causing a breakaway valve to close, fuel will be trapped in respective wing fuel cell causing a shift in lateral center of gravity as operations continue. Range would be reduced accordingly, and fuel transfer would adversely affect lateral CG.
INDICATIONS
- Imbalance in left and right fuel quantity indications as fuel is consumed.
- Lateral CG imbalance, becoming more pronounced as fuel is consumed. CG shifts toward the side with the lowest indicated fuel quantity.
- Higher than normal fuel consumption rate.
- Premature illumination of fuel LOW QTY caution message on affected side.
PROCEDURES
WARNING
OPENING FUEL TANK INTERCONNECT VALVE MAY MAKE LATERAL CG IMBALANCE WORSE.
NOTE
Opening fuel interconnect valve to provide fuel for engine on affected
side is at discretion of pilot. Factors to be considered are leak rate, time
remaining to landing site, increased total loss of fuel due to transfer, and single engine (OEI ) operating capability.

DRAIN VALVE LEAK
INDICATIONS

- Premature illumination of fuel LOW QTY caution message on affected side.
PROCEDURES
NOTE
Opening fuel interconnect valve to provide fuel for engine on affected side is at discretion of pilot. Factors to be considered are leak rate, time remaining to landing site, increased total loss of fuel due to transfer and single engine (OEI ) operating

FUEL QUANTITY INDICATOR MALFUNCTION
INDICATIONS
- Difference in left and right fuel quantity indications.
- Disagreement between digital totalizer indication and sum of left, right and auxiliary fuel (if installed) quantity indications.
NOTE

- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL to verify fuel quantity.
EMERGENCY FUEL SHUTOFF
INDICATIONS
- Engine(s) continue to operate after shutdown procedures are accomplished
PROCEDURES
- Engine oil level access door — Open.
- Fuel shutoff lever (red) — Turn.
AUTOMATIC FLIGHT
CONTROLS SYSTEM
The automatic flight control system (AFCS) can be affected by malfunctions of the following: vertical gyros, yaw rate gyros,
inverters, accelerometers, or other electrical malfunctions. Failure of the No. 1 hydraulic system will render AFCS yaw axis inoperative but will not affect pitch, roll, SCAS, or AP mode functions. Failure of No. 2 hydraulic system will not affect AFCS.
For Emergency/Malfunction Procedures of the AFCS refer to BHT-430-FMS-15, FMS-24, FMS-29, FMS-30, and FMS-34.
