Rotor Overspeed
Should 108% NR power-off be inadvertently exceeded, no entry need be made on DA Form 2408-13-1 unless the rotor system accelerates and exceeds 111.5% NR. Even though no action is required when NR exceeds 108% power-off, but remains at or below 111.5%, willful operation shall not be conducted in this range.
NR Limit withInoperative Cruise Guide Indicator (CGI)
- Flight equal to or less than 98% NR with an inoperative CGI is prohibited.
Starting and Shutdown

Contingency Power
- Only to be used during actual emergencies Usage of contingency power up to932°Cis permissible for an unlimited number of occurrences, as long as each occurrence is2 minutes 30 secondsor less. Transient power932°C - 943°Cis not to be greater than12 seconds.
Gas Generator (NG)
- Ground idle maximum: 50%
* Maximum: 111%
Power Turbine (NP)
