  7. Pull rotor brake
  8. Wait for a complete stop of rotors before evacuating the cabin
24
Q

Emergency Procedures

Ditching

A
  1. Apply same procedures for landing
  2. Head equally between the wind and wave direction
  3. Open doors
  4. Reduce forward and vertical speed to minimum before contact with water
  5. Keep collective up after contact to help rotor deceleration
25
Q

Emergency Procedures

Inflight Engine Restart

  2. Check boost pump ON, fuel valve ON
  3. Check mixture RICH
  4. Check both ignition switches ON
  5. Apply 50% throttle
  6. Press starter button
26
Q

Emergency Procedures

Electrical Fire

A
  1. Switch alternator OFF
  2. Switch MASTER OFF
  3. Move NR switch to “Backup” position
  4. Use NR lights to monitor rotor speed

If source is determined, switch the other systems ON
If electrical fire continues - Land IMMEDIATELY
If not Land ASAP

27
Q

Emergency Procedures

Tail Rotor Failure
Hovering

A
  1. Land IMMEDIATELY
  2. Reduce throttle in order to reduce left yaw rate
  3. Cushion contact with the ground by applying collective pitch up to high stop if necessary
28
Q

Emergency Procedures

Tail Rotor Failure
Other Flight Cases

A
  1. Switch governor OFF
  2. Adjust power to maintian 70 - 80 kts
  3. Reach an appropriate surface for an auto running landing
  4. Enter auto, roll off throttle. Reduce airspeed as late as you can. Land with as much speed as the surface permits
29
Q

Emergency Procedures

Yaw Control Failure
Hovering

A
  1. Land IMMEDIATELY
  2. Lower collective slowly enough to land smoothly while rolling off throttle to reduce yawing nose to the right
30
Q

Emergency Procedures

Yaw Control Failure
Other Flight Cases

A
  1. Land ASAP
  2. Adjust to 70 - 80kts
  3. Adjust power to minimize sideslip and keep nose to the right
  4. Reach an appropriate surface for a running landing.
  5. Carry out cautious landing. Reduce airspeed as late as you can. Land with as much airspeed as the surface permits.
31
Q

Emergency Procedures

Engine Governor Failure

A

Detected by
- Rotor/Engine speed not regulated
- Rotor/Engine speed changes in level flight
- If in doubt roll twist grip to see reaction
- GOV light is blinking

Continue Flight

  1. Make cautious landing not requiring more power than previous take-off
34
Q

Emergency Procedures

MLI Degraded Mode

A

Automatically shifts when one of the following is lost

- Throttle position
- OAT
- Ambiant air pressure

Signaled by MLI displayed in YELLOW

Continue Flight

35
Q

EPM CPU Overtemperature Failure

A

Warning displays thermometer symbol then turns off 30sec later

Refer to loss of EPM display procedure

If conditions change, a restart can be attempted. Switch ALT OFF, then switch MASTER OFF for a short moment then ALT ON again.

36
Q

Emergency Procedures

Loss of engine speed sensor

A

Detected by XXX on engine indicator and loss of governor
1. Refer to NR indicator for engine speed
2. Overtake the governor
3. Once NR is in the green switch governor OFF
4. Regulate throttle manually in the green

Continue Flight

37
Q

Emergency Procedures

Loss of main rotor speed sensor

A

Detected by XXX on EPM indicator
1. Keep powered flight, no desynchronization
2. Refer to NM indicator for rotor speed indication

Continue Flight

38
Q

Emergency Procedures

Power Failure
Hover

A
  1. Use left pedal input to counter yawing to the right
  2. Cushion landing by raising collective until high pitch stop if necessary
  3. Once landed, lower collective
39
Q

Emergency Procedures

Power Failure
During Take-off

A
  1. Use left pedal to counter yawing to right
  2. Use aft cyclic to level the helicopter
  3. Before having reached 30kts DO NOT LOWER COLLECTIVE
  4. If above 30kts, slightly pitch up while slightly lowering collective, if needed, to prevent climbing
  5. When approaching the ground, raise the collective to cushion contact
  6. Use pedals to minimize ground drift
  7. Once stopped, lower collective
40
Q

Emergency Procedures

Power Failure
In Flight

A
  1. Lower collective immediately and maintain full down
  2. Use pedals to control yaw
  3. Maintain between 30-50kts
  4. Select landing area and manoeuvre to land into wind
  5. Adjust collective to centre NR green arc
  6. When landing is ensure, consider engine restart
  7. About 60ftAGL, apply aft cyclic to raise helicopter nose smoothly
  8. As ground closes in, apply forward cyclic while raising the collective to stop sink rate
  9. Use pedals to minimize ground drift
  10. Once stopped, lower collective
41
Q

How can an engine failure be detected?

A
  • Yaw acceleration to the right
  • Engine noise level decreases
  • Tachometer needles split on EPM
  • OIL P warning on EPM and OIL P light come ON
  • Plasma Beeper going off
  • Rotor speed decreasing and “Low NR” horn audible
42
Q

How can a primary transmission failure be detected?

A
  • High yaw rate to the right
  • Engine noise level increases
  • Tachometer needles split on EPM
  • Rotor speed decreasing and “Low NR” horn audible

Roll off twist grip ASAP
