Question 24

Rotor Brake Actuation

Answer 24

Apply brake below 40% RRPM with light to moderate pressure. Set brake handle fully forward after rotors have come to a complete stop if rotors are to be locked. Rotor brake applications below 35% should not be rapid.

Question 25

Rotor Brake Application - Alternate Procedure

Answer 25

May be used if ground bounce (padding) is experienced.

ECLs... STOP
ROTOR BRAKE lever... ARM
APPLY... brake at 70% RRPM
RELEASE... at 60% RRPM
RRPM at 25%... apply brake again until rotors stop.

following use of rotor brake, a minimum interval of 15 minutes must be allowed before subsequent application
