Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Indications of complete power loss
Left yaw, low engine and rotor speed, change in noise level.
Engine failure above 500 ft
Adjust collective - RRPM - 410 to 523
Control yaw & airspeed (≤ 131 KIAS)
If confirmed complete loss of power place twistgrip in cutoff and close fuel shutoff valve.
Auto in for landing.
Engine failure in hover below 12 ft.
Do not reduce collective
Right pedal for yaw
Raise collective to cushion landing.
Partial power loss
Start pump on.
Fly at reduced power.
Land as soon as possible.
Prepare for complete power loss.
Air restart at low altitude.
Close twistgrip to cut off position.
Press start button immediately.
If N1 is 18% or above open twistgrip immediately to ground idle.
N1 25-40% are preferred for coolest and fastest start.
Air restart when altitude permits.
Perform normal engine start if N1 has decayed below 18%.
Recommended airspeed 60 knots.
Advance twistgrip from ground idle to full open once N1 reaches 60-65%.
Increase collective once N2 and NR are 103%.
Low rotor speed.
Lower collective.
Check warning lights and instruments for problems.
Water landing power off.
Lower collective to enter autorotation.
If time permits open doors and push handle full down.
Make autorotative approach, flaring as required.
Level aircraft and apply full collective as contact is made with water.
When aircraft begins to roll lower collective to minimize blades skipping.
Release harness and clear aircraft.
Water landing power on.
Decend to hover above water.
Open doors and push handles full down.
Passengers exit the aircraft.
Fly safe distance away from personell.
Close twistgrip to cutoff and perform hovering autorotation.
Allow aircraft to settle in level attitude applying full collective.
When aircraft begins to roll lower collective to minimize blades skipping.
Release harness and clear aircraft.
Cabin smoke and fume elimination.
Cabin heat off.
Fresh air vent open. Pilot door open (A/S<130 KIAS)
Door vents open facing aft.
Aircraft evacuation.
Thorough briefing is essential for quick evacuation of passengers and crew when fire is involved.
Fire extiguisher
Be familiar with operating and the hazards with the particular type of fire extinguisher installed.
Use of Fire extinguisher on cabin fire while airborne is not recommended.
Pilots first responsibility is to land immediately.
Once on ground with crew and pax evacuated, can extinguish fire.
Use caution as the possibility of explosion should not be disregarded.
If extinguisher is used in flight, use only the amount of extinguishing agent as necessary and then properly ventilate ASAP.
Engine fire on the ground
During starting
Overloading of fuel in combustion chamber.
Normally indicated by rapid increase in TOT
Twistgrip off.
Starter engage until TOT is below 150.
Fuel shutoff valve pull closed.
Engine compartment fire on the ground.
Twistgrip off.
Fuel shutoff valve pull to close.
Battery off.
Passengers/crew evacuate.
***If time permits***
Apply rotor brake if installed.
Move passengers a safe distance from aircraft.
Use fire extinguisher.
Engine fire during flight
At low altitude.
Land immediately
Twistgrip off.
Fuel shutoff valve pull closed
Battery off
Passengers evacuate.
Engine fire during flight
At high altitude.
Collective down to enter autorotation
Twistgrip off
Fuel shutoff valve pull closed
Radio mayday call
Execute autorotational landing
Battery off
Passengers evacuate.
Cabin fire/smoke on the ground.
Twistgrip off.
Battery off.
Passengers evacuate.
***If time permits***
Apply rotor brake if installed.
Move passengers a safe distance from aircraft.
Use fire extinguisher.
Cabin fire/smoke in flight.
Land immediately
Air vents open facing aft. Open pilot door (A/S<130 KIAS)
Twistgrip off as soon as on ground.
Battery off.
Passengers evacuate.
Cabin fire/smoke in flight if unable to land immediately and fire source can be identified
Malfunctioning system off.
Use fire extinguisher.
Ventilate cabin.
Land as soon as possible.
Cabin fire/smoke in flight
if fire source is unknown
Cabin heat off.
Generator off.
All electrical circuits off (not required for safety of flight)
Cabin ventilate.
Land as soon as possible.
Fuel control/governor failure producing an overspeed
Increase collective to load rotor while rolling throttle towards ground idle until control of N2 is obtained.
Manually control N2 102-103% with throttle.
If unable to control rpm close throttle to cutoff and make autorotational landing.
Fuel control/governor failure producing an underspeed
Lower collective to maintain rotor rpm.
Attempt level flight at 60 knots.
If power is insufficient for level flight or power on decent make autorotational landing.
Governor surge
N2 fluctuating; not maintaining preset N2 speed (102-103%)
Beep N2 to maximum.
Control N2 with throttle.
***Note: Turning Start Pump On may allow engine to operate smoothly. If engine does return to normal do not disregard the need to land.
Engine chip detector
Land as soon as possible.
Low engine oil pressure in flight.
Land as soon as possible.
Shut down engine.
Low engine oil pressure on the ground.
Shut down.
Loss of engine torque indication in flight.
Land as soon as possible.
Shut down.
Loss of engine torque on the ground.
Shut down.
Transmission oil pressure light.
Land as soon as possible.
Transmission oil temperature light.
Land as soon as possible.
Transmission chip detector.
Land as soon as possible.
Tail rotor chip detector.
Land as soon as possible.
Tail rotor loss of thrust forward flight.
Lower collective.
Adjust airspeed 50-60 knots.
Left lateral cyclic and collective pitch to limit left sideslip.
If conditions permit place throttle in idle and perform normal autorotation.
Plan to touch down with little or no forward speed.
Complete loss of tail rotor at hover.
Throttle to idle.
Hover auto.
***Warning***
When hovering in cross-hatched area of HV diagram, reduce altitiude to 12’ or less before hover auto.
