A
– Low RPM horn
2
Q
Power Failure - Symptoms (engine):
A
- Change in noise level
- Nose left yaw
- Oil pressure light
- Reducing engine RPM
3
Q
Power Failure - Symptoms (drive):
A
- Unusual noise or vibration
- Yaw in either direction
- Decreasing rotor RPM with engine RPM increasing
4
Q
Power Failure - Immediate Actions:
A
- Enter autorotation
- Speed below Vne power off
5
Q
Power Failure - Cautions:
A
- Aft cyclic required as collective is lowered at high airspeed
- Do not apply aft cyclic during run-on
6
Q
Power Failure above 500’ AGL - Immediate Actions:
A
- Enter auto
- Establish autorotation speed (nominal 70kias)
- Maintain RRPM between 97% and 108%
- Manoeuvre into wind if possible
- Attempt ‘Air Restart’ if practicable
- Unnecessary switches and fuel valve … OFF
- Carry out an autorotative landing
7
Q

8
Q
Min RoD auto criteria:
A
- 55 kias
- RRPM 90%
9
Q
Air Restart
A
- Mixture fully rich
- Throttle fully closed then cracked slightly
- Starter … START
10
Q
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust - Symptoms
A
- Nose right yaw which can’t be controlled with left pedal.
11
Q
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust in forward flight - Immediate Actions
A
- Enter autorotation
- Maintain 70 kias if possible
- Roll off throttle into over-travel spring
- Perform auto landing
12
Q
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust in hover - Immediate Actions
A
- Roll off throttle into over-travel spring
- Allow aircraft to settle
- Cushion with collective
13
Q

- Mixture … OFF
- Fuel valve … OFF
- Rotor brake … ON (If time permits)
- Vacate aircraft
16
Q
What systems are inoperative with the battery and alternator off?
A
- Governor
- Low rotor RPM warning
17
Q
Hydraulic failure - Symptoms
A
- Heavy or stiff cyclic and/or collective
- Intermittent control vibration or feedback
18
Q
Hydraulic failure - Immediate Actions
A
- Hyd switch … confirm ON
if hyds not restored: - Hyd switch … OFF
- Adjust airspeed and flight condition for comfortable flight
- Land as soon as practical
19
Q
