Question 1

DEFINITIONS

Answer 1

* Land Immediately

* Land as soon as practical

Land Immediately

Answer 2

Land on the nearest clear area where a safe normal landing can be performed.

Be prepared to enter autorotation during approach, if required.

Answer 5

An engine failure may be indicated by

• a change in noise level,
• nose left yaw,
• an oil pressure light,
• or decreasing engine RPM

Question 6

POWER FAILURE - GENERAL

(3rd Sentence)

Answer 6

A drive system failure may be indicated by

• an unusual noise or vibration, nose right or left yaw,
• or decreasing rotor RPM while engine RPM is increasing

Question 7

POWER FAILURE - GENERAL

(2nd Paragraph)

Answer 7

In case of power failure,

• immediately lower collective to enter autorotation and
• reduce air speed to power-off V(ne) or below.

Question 8

CAUTION

(Power Failure - General / #1)

Answer 8

Aft cyclic is required when

collective is lowered at high air speed.

Question 9

CAUTION

(Power Failure - General / #2)

Answer 9

Do not apply aft cyclic during touchdown or ground slide to prevent possible blade strike to tailcone.

Question 10

Question 13

4

POWER FAILURE

ABOVE 500 FEET AGL

Answer 13

POWER FAILURE

ABOVE 500 FEET AGL

Answer 15

• If unable to restart,
• turn necessary switches and fuel valve off

Question 18

1

POWER FAILURE

BETWEEN 8 FEET AND 500 FEET AGL

Answer 18

• Lower collective immediately
• to maintain rotor RPM

Question 19

2

POWER FAILURE

BETWEEN 8 FEET AND 500 FEET AGL

Answer 19

• Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 108% or
• apply full down collective if light weight prevents attaining above 97%

Question 20

3

POWER FAILURE

BETWEEN 8 FEET AND 500 FEET AGL

Answer 20

• Maintain airspeed until ground is approached,
• then begin cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward speed.

Question 21

4

POWER FAILURE

BETWEEN 8 FEET AND 500 FEET AGL

Answer 21

• At about 8 feet AGL,
• apply forward cyclic to level ship and
• raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing.
• Touch down in level attitude with nose straight ahead.
