Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Land as soon as possible
Land without delay at
nearest suitable area
(i.e., open field) at which
a safe approach and
landing is reasonably
assured.
Land as soon as practice
Landing site and
duration of flight are at
discretion of pilot.
Extended flight beyond
nearest approved
landing area is not
recommended.
Engine failure in a hover
- Maintain heading and attitude
control. - Collective — Adjust to control NR
and rate of descent. Increase prior to
ground contact to cushion landing.
NOTE
Amplitude of collective movement is
a function of height above ground.
Any forward airspeed will aid in
ability to cushion landing.
3. Complete helicopter shutdown.
Engine failure in flight
- Maintain heading and attitude
control. - Collective — Adjust as required to
maintain 85 to 107% NR.
NOTE
Maintaining NR at high end of
operating range will provide
maximum rotor energy to
accomplish landing, but will cause
an increased rate of descent.
- Cyclic — Adjust to obtain desired
autorotative AIRSPEED.
NOTE
Maximum AIRSPEED for steady state
autorotation is 100 KIAS. Minimum
rate of descent airspeed is 55 KIAS.
Maximum glide distance airspeed is
80 KIAS.
- Attempt engine restart if ample
altitude remains. (Refer to ENGINE
RESTART, paragraph 3-3-B.) - FUEL VALVE switch — OFF.
- At low altitude:
- Throttle — OFF.
- Flare to lose airspeed. - Apply collective as flare effect
decreases to further reduce forward
speed and cushion landing. Upon
ground contact, collective shall be
reduced smoothly while maintaining
cyclic in neutral or centered position. - Complete helicopter shutdown.
Engine restart in auto mode
- Collective — Adjust to maintain 85 to
107% NR. - AIRSPEED — Adjust as desired.
NOTE
Minimum rate of descent airspeed of
55 KIAS and minimum NR will allow
pilot more time for air restart.
- FUEL VALVE switch — ON.
- Throttle — OFF.
- START switch — Hold to start
position (start will latch after throttle
is placed to idle). - NG — Between 12 and 50%.
- Throttle — IDLE.
- MGT — Monitor.
- Engine oil pressure — Check.
- Throttle — Advance smoothly to FLY
detent position.
If restart is unsuccessful, abort start and
secure engine as follows:
11. Throttle — OFF.
12. FUEL VALVE switch — OFF.
13. Accomplish autorotative descent
and landing.
Engine restart in manual made
- Collective — Adjust to maintain 85 to
107% NR. - AIRSPEED — Adjust as desired.
NOTE
Minimum rate of descent airspeed of
55 KIAS and minimum NR will allow
pilot more time for air restart.
- Throttle — OFF.
- FADEC MODE switch — MAN.
- FUEL VALVE switch — ON.
- START switch — Hold to start
position (starter will not latch). - NG — 12%.
- Throttle — Slowly advance out of
cutoff and stop advancing throttle at
light off. - MGT — Allow to peak.
- Throttle — Increase fuel flow by
modulating throttle to maintain MGT
within limits. - START switch — Release at 50% NG.
- Engine oil pressure — Check.
- Throttle — Advance smoothly and
modulate to 100% NP.
If restart is unsuccessful, abort start and
secure engine as follows:14. Throttle — OFF.
15. FUEL VALVE switch — OFF.
16. Accomplish autorotative descent
and landing.
Engine underspeed
- Collective — Adjust as required to
maintain 85 to 107% NR. - Throttle — Confirm in FLY detent
position. - Throttle — Position throttle to the
approximate bezel position that
coincides with the gauge indicated
NG. - FADEC MODE switch — MAN.
- NR — Maintain 95 to 100% with
throttle and collective. - Land as soon as practical.
Engine overspeed
- Throttle — Retard.
- NG or NP — Attempt to stabilize with
throttle and collective. - FADEC MODE switch — MAN.
- NR — Maintain 95 to 100% with
throttle and collective.
Engine compresor stall/surge
- Collective — Reduce power,
maintain slow cruise flight. - MGT and NG — Check for normal
indications. - ENG ANTI ICE switch — ON.
- PART SEP switch (if installed) — ON.
- HEATER switch (if installed) — ON.
NOTE
Severity of compressor stalls will
dictate if engine should be shut down
and treated as an engine failure.
Violent stalls can cause damage to
engine and drive system
components, and must be handled
as an emergency condition. Stalls of
a less severe nature (one or two low
intensity pops) may permit
continued operation of engine at a
reduced power level, avoiding
condition that resulted in
compressor stall.
If pilot elects to continue flight:
6. Collective — Increase slowly to
achieve desired power level.
7. MGT and NG — Monitor for normal
response.
8. Land as soon as practical.
If pilot elects to shut down engine:
9. Enter autorotation.
10. Throttle — OFF.
11. FUEL VALVE switch — OFF.
12. Collective — Adjust as required to
maintain 85 to 107% NR.

WARNING
PRIOR TO BATTERY DEPLETION,
ALTITUDE MUST BE REDUCED
BELOW 8000 FEET HP (JET A) OR
4000 FEET HP (JET B). UNUSABLE
FUEL MAY BE AS HIGH AS
151.0 POUNDS AFTER THE
BATTERY IS DEPLETED DUE TO
INABILITY TO TRANSFER FUEL
FROM FORWARD CELLS.
NOTE
With battery and generator OFF, an
80% charged battery will operate left
fuel boost pump and left fuel transfer
pump for approximately 1.7 hours
(2.8 hours with optional 28 amp-hour
battery).
NOTE
Pedal stop disengages with loss of
electrical power.
When throttle is repositioned to the
IDLE stop (during engine shutdown),
the PMA will go offline and the
engine may flame out.
Complete loss of tail rotor thrust in a hover
Close throttle and perform a hovering
autorotation landing. A slight rotation can be expected on touchdown.
Complete loss of tail rotor in flight
Reduce throttle to idle, immediately enter autorotation, and maintain a minimum AIRSPEED of 55 KIAS during descent.
NOTE
When a suitable landing site is not
available, vertical fin may permit
controlled flight at low power levels
and sufficient AIRSPEED. During
final stages of approach, a mild flare
should be executed, making sure all
power to rotor is off. Maintain
helicopter in a slight flare and
smoothly use collective to execute a
soft, slightly nose-high landing.
Landing on aft portion of skids will
tend to correct side drift. This
technique will, in most cases, result
in a run-on type landing.
CAUTION
IN A RUN-ON TYPE LANDING AFTER
TOUCHING DOWN, DO NOT USE
CYCLIC TO REDUCE
FORWARD SPEED.
Loss of hydraulic pressure
- Reduce AIRSPEED to 70 to 100 KIAS.
- HYD SYSTEM circuit breaker — Out.
If hydraulic power is not restored,
push breaker in. - HYD SYS switch — HYD SYS; OFF if
hydraulic power is not restored. - For extended flight set comfortable
AIRSPEED, up to 120 KIAS, to
minimize control forces. - Land as soon as practical.
- A run-on landing at effective
translational lift speed
(approximately 15 knots) is
recommended.
Flight control actuator malfunction
- Attitude — Maintain.
- HYD SYS switch — OFF.
- AIRSPEED — Set to 70 to 100 KIAS.
- Land as soon as possible using
procedure from paragraph 3-6-A.
Generator failure
- GENERATOR FIELD and
GENERATOR RESET circuit
breakers — Check in. - GEN switch — RESET; then GEN.
- If power is not restored, place GEN
switch to OFF; land as soon as
practical.
NOTE
With generator OFF, a fully charged
battery will provide approximately 21
minutes of power for basic helicopter
and one VHF COMM radio (35
minutes with optional 28 ampere/
hour battery).
Excessive electrical load
- GEN switch — OFF.
- BATT switch — OFF.
- FUEL BOOST/XFR LEFT circuit
breaker switch — LEFT (on).

4. Airspeed — 60 KIAS or less.
NOTE
Pedal stop disengages with loss of
electrical power.
5. Land as soon as practical.
NOTE
When throttle is repositioned to the
idle stop (during engine shutdown)
the PMA will go offline and the
engine may flame out.
Dual fuel transfer failure
- LEFT and RIGHT FUEL BOOST/XFR
circuit breaker switches — Check
ON. - Determine FUEL QTY in forward cell.
- Subtract quantity of fuel trapped in
forward cell from total to determine
usable fuel remaining. - Plan landing accordingly.
