Emergency Procedures

Question 0

Power failure due to engine failure indication

Answer 0

Change in noise level, nose left yaw, an oil pressure light or decreasing engine RPM

Question 1

In case of power failure , possible indication and procedure

Answer 1

Engine or drive system failure, indicated by low RPm horn.

Immediately lower collective to enter auto rotation.

Question 2

Power failure caused by drive system indication

Answer 2

It’s indicated by an unusual noise or vibration, nose right or left yaw,mor decreasing RPM while engine RPM is increasing.

Question 3

Engine fire during start on ground

Answer 3

. Continue to attempt start
. If engine starts run at 50-60 RPM for a short time, shut down and inspect for damage.

. if engine refuses to start shut off fuel and mastery battery switch
. Extinguish fire with fire extinguisher, wool blanket or dirt. Inspect for damage.

Question 4

Fire in flight

Answer 4

Enter auto rotation
.master battery off
.cabin heat off
.Cabin vent on

.if engine is running perform normal landing and immediately shut off fuel valve.
. If engine is not running, immediately shutoff fuel valve and perform autorotation landing.

Question 5

Electrical fire in flight

Answer 5

.Master battery off
.ALT switch off
.Land immediately
.Extinguish fire and inspect for damage.

Question 6

Tachometer failure

Answer 6

If rotor or engine tach malfunction in flight, use remaining tach to monitor RPM.

If it’s not clear which tach is malfunctioning or both are malfunctioning, allow GOV to to control RPM and land as soon as practical.

Question 7

Governor failure

Answer 7

If the engine RPM GOV malfunctions, grip throttle firmly to override governor, then switch governor off. complete flight using manual throttle control.

Question 8

Oil warning light

Answer 8

Indicates loss of engine power or oil pressure.
Check engine tach for power loss
Check oil pressure gauge
-if pressure loss is confirmed land immediately

Question 9

MR TEMP

Answer 9

Indicates excessive temperature of main rotor gearbox.

If light accompanied by vibration, noise, or temperature rise, land immediately.

Question 10

MR CHIP

Answer 10

Indicates metallic particles in main rotor gearbox.

If light accompanied by vibration, noise, or temperature rise, land immediately.

Question 11

TR CHIP

Answer 11

Indicates metallic particles in tail rotor gearbox.

If light accompanied by vibration, noise, or temperature rise, land immediately.

Question 12

Low fuel warning light

Answer 12

Indicates approximately 1gallon of useable fuel remaining in an all aluminum tank, the engine will run out of fuel in approximately 5 mins.

For a bladder style tank it indicates that approximately 1.5gallon of fuel is remaining and will last for about 10mins.

Question 13

Clutch

Answer 13

Indicates clutch actuator circuit is on

If the lights comes on and does not go off approximately 10secs, pull clutch circuit breaker and land as soon as practical.
If there are other indication of drive system failure, reduce power and land immediately( prepare for autorotation.)

Question 14

ALT

Answer 14

Indicates low voltage and possible alternator failure.

Turn off nonessential electrical equipments and switch alt off and back on after one sec to reset voltage relay.
If light stays on, land as soon as practical.

Question 15

Brake light

Answer 15

Indicates rotor brake is engaged

Release immediately

Question 16

Starter on

Answer 16

Indicates starter motor is engaged

If it does not go out when ignition switch is released from start position, immediately pull mixture off and turn battery switch off.
Have starter serviced.

Question 17

GOV off

Answer 17

Indicates RPM throttle governor is off

Question 18

Carbon Monoxide

Answer 18

Indicates elevated levels of (CO) in cabin.

Shut off heater and open nose and door vents.
Land if hovering or transition to forward flight.
If symptoms of CO poisoning, land immediately.

Question 19

Full throttle

Answer 19

Indicates near full throttle

Lower the collective as required to extinguish light.

(The gov will be ineffective because it cannot increase throttle to maintain RPM.)

Question 20

Low RPM horn and caution light.

Answer 20

It indicates that rotor RPM May be below safe limits.

To restore RPM, immediately roll throttle on, lower the collective, in forward flight, apply aft cyclic.
The horn and caution light are disabled when collective is full down.

Question 21

Right roll in low G condition

Answer 21

Gradually apply aft cyclic to restore positive G forces and and maintain rotor thrust.

Question 22

Uncommanded pitch, roll, or yaw resulting from flight in turbulence

Answer 22

Gradually apply controls to maintain rotor RPM, positive G forces, and to eliminate sideslip.

Minimize cyclic control movement in turbulence, do not over control.

Question 23

Inadvertent encounter with moderate, severe or extreme turbulence

Answer 23

If area is isolated, depart the area; otherwise, land the helicopter as soon as practical.

Question 24

Emergency water landing- power off

Answer 24

Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor RPM
Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 110%, or apply full down collective if light weight prevents attaining above 97
Maintain cyclic flare until surface is approached to reduce rate of decent and forward speed
Raise cyclic just before touching water to cushion landing
Apply lateral cyclic when aircraft contacts water to stop rotors.
Release seat belt quickly and clear aircraft when rotors stop.

Question 25

Emergency water landing- power on.

Answer 25

.Descend to hover above water
.Unlatch doors
.Passenger exit aircraft
.Fly to safe distance from passengers to avoid possible injury by rotors
.Switch battery and alternator off
.Roll throttle off into over travel spring
.Keep aircraft leveled and apply full collective as aircraft contacts water
.Apply lateral cyclic to stop rotors.
.Release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when rotor stops.

Question 26

Loss of tail thrust during forward flight.

Answer 26

Failure is usually indicated by nose right yaw which cannot be corrected by applying left pedal.
Immediately enter autorotation
Maintain at least 70KIAS if practical
Select landing site, roll throttle off into overtravel spring and perform autorotation landing.

Question 27

Loss of tail rotor thrust during hover

Answer 27

. Failure is usually indicated by nose right yaw which cannot be stopped by applying left pedal.
. Immediately roll throttle off into overtravel spring and allow aircraft to settle.
. Raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing.
