Emergency Procedures

Question 1

Land as soon as possible

Answer 1

Land without delay at nearest suitable area(i.e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured.

Question 2

Land as soon as practical

Answer 2

Landing site and duration of flight are at discretion of pilot. Extended flight beyond nearest approved landing area is not recommended.

Question 3

Warning light: trans temp

Answer 3

Main transmission oil temperature is at or above red line. Reducing power will help alleviate the condition. Check transmission oil pressure. Land as soon as possible.

Question 4

Warning light: trans press

Answer 4

Main transmission pressure is below minimum. Landing should be made as soon as possible.

Question 5

Warning light: fuel pump

Answer 5

One or both fuel boost pumps is inoperative. Descend to below 6000ft pressure altitude if flight permits. Land as soon as practical.

Question 6

Warning light: fuel filter

Answer 6

Engine fuel filter clogged, land as soon as practical. Clean before next flight.

Question 7

Warning light: a/f fuel filter

Answer 7

Airframe fuel filter clogged. Land as soon as practical. Clean before next flight.

Question 8

Warning light: fuel low (if installed)

Answer 8

Approximately 20 gallons of fuel remaining. Land as soon as practical.

Question 9

Warning light: Eng out

Answer 9

Engine power failure. Reduce pitch immediately and investigate power failure.

Question 10

Warning light: eng chip

Answer 10

Metallic practicals in engine oil. Land as soon as possible.

Question 11

Warning light: t/r chip

Answer 11

Metal partials in tail rotor gearbox oil. Land as soon as possible.

Question 12

Warning light: trans chip

Answer 12

Metal particles in transmission oil. Land as soon as possible.

Question 13

Warning light: rotor low rpm

Answer 13

Rotor rpm is below normal. Reduce collective pitch and check that throttle is full open.

Question 14

Complete loss of tail rotor thrust

Answer 14

Reduce throttle to flight idle, immediately enter autorotation and maintain a minimum airspeed of 58mph during the descent.

Question 15

Tail rotor fixed pitch failure

Answer 15

Depending on the pitch position of the tail rotor, at the time of failure, engine power and airspeed should be adjusted to minimize yawing.

Question 16

Fuel control and/or governor failure

Answer 16

Engine fuel control and/or governor failure will be apparent by a change of power or rpm. There is no manual fuel control on the engine. Control power with the throttle if engine overspreeds.

Maintain rpm with collective pitch if engine underspeeds.

Establish autorotative glide if power is very low or if engine must be shut down.

Question 17

Hydraulic system failure

Answer 17

Reduce airspeed to 70 to 80 mph

Hyd boost circuit breaker OUT; if power is not restored IN

Control boost or hydraulic system switch ON; if power is not restored OFF

Land as soon as practical and investigate.

A run-on landing at 12 to 17 mph is recommended. Maintain airspeed above translational lift speed for best control at touchdown.

Question 18

Electrical power failure

Answer 18

Cycle generator switch; if power is not restored OFF

Non critical electrical equipment OFF

Required electrical equipment ON as needed

Question 19

Engine fire during starting or shutdown

Answer 19

Starter- continue to motor the engine
Throttle- full closed
Fuel valve switch- off
IGN ENG circuit breaker- out
Complete shutdown

Question 20

Engine fire during flight

Answer 20

Throttle- close
Immediately enter autorotation
Fuel valve switch- off
Battery switch- off
Generator switch- off
Execute autorotation
