4 Recommended actions in sect 3
- -Land Immediately: says self explanatory….
- -Land as soon as possible: Nearest site where safe landing can be made
- -Land as soon as practical: Nearest field w/ mx
- -Continue flight
When are continuous audio tones generated
Nr 360 RPM

Flame out Cruise bold face
Reduce collective
IAS set to Vy
–if relight impossible or T/R fail IDLE
In flight re-light
Starter OFF Fuel Pump ON Starter ON --Relight after Ng <17% Fuel Pump OFF (1000' min required)

IGE/ OGE in HV curve
OGE outside HV curve
IGE/IN: Land immediately, IDLE, Cushion
OGE: Land as soon as possible
Simultaneously lower collect, fwd cyclic, pitch for Vy
–If go around performed, use auto for landing
