no	
turn BATT ON	
continue flight

Question 12

GENE
If the battery fails, the VEMD will go out and only the analogue NR indication will remain.
(or NR/N2 indication is lost)
Max KIAS 100 kts -2kt/1000”
GENE comes on if the DC system is supplied with external power.
Avoid autorotation, perform a shallow approach with a cautious landing.

Answer 12

check Ubus on VEMD	
Check GENE ON
If OFF: turn on
If ON: check GEN reset CB in	
Reset GEN then ON
if restored - continue flight
if not restored - GEN OFF	
unnecessary eq OFF	
monitor VEMD ubus	
Land ASAPL

Question 13

FUEL

quantity 15 minutes at MCP remaining

Answer 13

LAND ASAP

avoid large attitude changes to prevent eng flameout

Question 14

FUEL P in flight

low pressure

Answer 14

reduce collective	
fuel pump ON	
land ASAP
low power approach and landing 
BE PREPARED IN CASE OF AN ENGINE FLAME-OUT.

Question 15

FUEL FILTER continuously on (pre-clogged)
FUEL FILTER BY-PASS OPENING LEADS TO CONTAMINATION OF THE FUEL LINES AND THE GOVERNOR, WHICH MAY INDUCE N1 OSCILLATIONS, LIMITED POWER OR EVENTUALLY FLAME-OUT.

Answer 15

Fuel filter pre-clogging level 2 reached	
LAND ASAPL	
MONITOR N1 on VEMD
If N1 oscillations occur:	
LAND IMMEDIATELY

Question 16

Answer 16

Fuel filter pre-clogging level 1 reached.

One flight of 3 hours maximum flight time can be performed before maintenance action

Question 17

LIMIT 
in high speed cruise or steep maneuvers:
Main servo unit maxload reached,
Max rotor head stress reached,
or extreme longitudinal control position
LIMIT may appear associated with HYD 1 in case of hydraulic failure

Answer 17

ReduceCollective
ReduceCyclic to reducespeed or load factor
continue flight

Question 18

LIMIT in rearward speed or hovering in high tail wind

LIMIT may appear associated with HYD 1 in case of hydraulic failure

Answer 18

Cyclic REDUCE rearward speed
Cyclic REDUCE tailwind component
continue flight
