Chapter 9 - Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Immediate Action Emergency Checks
WARNING(S)
NOTE
WARNING
- Emergency and emergency-related components may be located beyond the pilot’s maximum functional reach with shoulder harness locked, which may impede the pilot’s ability to perform emergency procedures. Pilots shall ensure their seat position with shoulder harness locked allows for manipulation of all necessary controls.
- The urgency of certain emergencies requires immediate and instinctive action by the pilot. The most important single consideration is helicopter control. All other procedures are subordinate to this requirement.
NOTE
The MASTER CAUTION should be reset after each malfunction to allow systems to respond to subsequent malfunctions. When appropriate, a check of the affected PDP for open circuit breakers should be accomplished. In some cases this may minimize or eliminate the emergency. An example of this would be an apparent failure of an instrument, whereas resetting the circuit breaker restores operation. If time permits during a critical emergency, jettison external loads, if required, and lock shoulder harnesses.
Steps that are bold and underlined** must be performed immediately in an Emergency Procedure without reference to the Checklist (CL). Additionally, steps in all **CAPS, BOLD, and UNDERLINED are referencing additional Emergency Procedures. When the situation permits, all non-underlined steps will be accomplished with the use of the CL.
Land as Soon as Possible
The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is dened as executing a landing to the nearest suitable landing area (e.g., open eld) without delay. The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of occupants.
Land as Soon as Practicable
The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE is dened as executing a landing at the nearest suitable airfield/heliport.
Autorotate
The term AUTOROTATE is defined as adjusting the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational descent and landing.
1. Thrust** CONT lever — **Adjust as required to maintain NR.
2. Pedals** — **Adjust as required.
3. Cyclic** — **Adjust as required.
Emergency Engine Shutdown
CAUTION
NOTE
The term EMER ENG SHUTDOWN is de- fined as engine shutdown without delay. Engine shutdown in flight is usually not an immediate action item unless a fire exists. Before executing an engine shutdown, identify the affected engine by checking indications of TQ, NR, NG, PTIT, engine oil pressure, and the ENG 1(2) FAIL warning.
- When in-flight shutdown of a malfunctioning engine is anticipated positive identification of the malfunctioning engine must be accomplished to avoid shutting down the wrong engine.
- If certain DECU/ECU faults are present, engine shutdown is only possible by using the FIRE PULL handle or by manually closing the motorized gate valve at the ramp area. If either of these methods are used to perform an engine shutdown, several fault codes are likely that may preclude a normal restart unless reset.
- When moving the ECL aft of the FLT position, observe for any rapid rise in PTIT. IF PTIT begins to rise at a rate of approximately 100° C per second, immediately move the affected engine ECL to STOP and pull the FIREPULL handle. Under most circumstances, moving the ECL to STOP will arrest the increase and allow a normal shutdown.
- Under certain conditions, resetting the FIRE PULL handle may result in a residual re.
1. ENG COND Lever** — **STOP.
2. FIRE PULL handle** — **Pull as required.
3. FIRE PULL handle** — **Twist clockwise or counterclockwise as required (engine fire only).
NOTE
If a second engine start is to be attempted, wait at least 15 seconds after the NG indicates zero (0) before attempting start. This will allow sufficient time for
Abort Start
The term ABORT START is defined as engine shutdown to prevent PTIT from exceeding limits or whenever abnormal operation is indicated. If high PTIT was indicated, the engine must be motored to decrease PTIT below 260° C.
1. ENG COND Lever** — **STOP.
2. ENG START Switch** — **Motor (if high PTIT is indicated).
Engine Hot Start
ABORT START
Residual Fire During Shutdown
- ABORT START.
- FIRE PULL handle (affected engine) — Pull.
- FIRE PULL handle** — **Twist clockwise or counterclockwise as required (engine fire only).
Engine Compartment, APU, Fuselage or Electrical Fire – Ground
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN.
- APU switch** — **OFF.
- BATT switch — OFF.
Engine Compartment, APU, Fuselage or Electrical Fire - In-Flight Fire Procedures
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- CABIN HEATER BLOWER C/B (No. 2 PDP C31) — Pull.
- Cockpit windows** — **Closed.
- SMOKE AND FUME ELIMINATION (as required).
After Landing:
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN.
APU Fire - Flight
- APU switch** — **OFF.
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES** — **Perform.
Engine Fire – Flight
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES** — **Perform.
F 2. ENGINE fire** — **Confirm.
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN (affected engine).
Electrical Fire – Flight
WARNING
NOTE
WARNING
A dual engine flameout may occur if both generator switches are turned off above 6,000 feet PA. All fuel boost pumps will be inoperative.
NOTE
LCT and DASH actuators will remain programmed at the airspeed at which the generators were turned off.
Before shutting off all electrical power, the pilot must consider the equipment that is essential to the current flight regime; e.g., MFDs will go blank, flight control systems, etc. The SFDs will be the only flight instruments available. If a landing as soon as possible cannot be made, defective circuits may be isolated by selectively turning off electrical equipment and/or pulling out circuit breakers.
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES — Perform.
- A/S**—**Below 100 KCAS or Vne, whichever is slower.
- GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches — OFF.
After Landing:
- BATT switch — OFF.
Smoke and Fume Elimination
WARNING
NOTE
WARNING
The cargo ramp can be opened or closed either manually by the flight engineer using the lever on the ramp control valve or electrically by the pilot using the RAMP EMER control switch on the overhead HYD panel. If the flight engineer is unable to manually position the ramp, the pilot should attempt to check that the ramp is clear of personnel and equipment before opening or closing it. Unannounced opening and closing of the ramp may lead to injury to personnel, or damage to equipment.
NOTE
The combination of Steps 2, 3, and 4 effectively evacuates the cockpit and forward cabin of smoke and fumes above 60 KCAS. Opening the cargo loading ramp evacuates the main cabin. With items in Steps 2, 4, and 6 opened, intensification of a smoldering fire may occur. If the source of the fire cannot be determined, close the cargo loading ramp but keep the pilot’s window and the upper half of the main cabin door open. This will allow the pilots to see the instrument panels and outside references for landing.
- A/S** — **Above 60 KCAS.
- Pilot’s sliding window** — **Open.
- Helicopter attitude** — **Yaw left, one half to one ball width on the inclinometer.
- Upper half of main cabin door** — **Open.
- RAMP EMER switch** — **As required.
- Cargo loading ramp — As required.
- Copilot’s sliding window — Closed.
- NVG curtain — Open (if applicable).

ENG1 FADEC or ENG2 FADEC Caution
NOTE
NOTE
If the affected engine fails to respond to INC/DEC switch inputs after activation of either the ENG1 FADEC or ENG2 FADEC caution, it is possible that the associated reversionary system has also failed without activating the REV 1 FAIL or REV 2 FAIL caution. The flight crew should consider the possibility that a dual channel fixed fuel flow condition exists.
- FADEC INC/DEC switch** (affected engine) — **Match TQs as required.
- Reduce rate of Thrust CONT lever changes.
ENG1 FADEC and ENG2 FADEC Cautions
NOTE
NOTE
If one or both engines fail to respond to INC/DEC switch inputs after activation of both the ENG1 FADEC and ENG2 FADEC cautions, it is possible that the associated reversionary systems have also failed without activating the REV 1 FAIL and REV 2 FAIL cautions. The flight crew should consider the possibility that a dual channel fixed fuel flow condition exists.
- FADEC INC/DEC switches — Adjust to 100% NR, match TQs.
- Reduce rate of Thrust CONT lever changes.
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE.
