AUDIO
WARNINGS
GONG
A gong is generated each time a red warning appears on the warning panel.
CONTINUOUS TONE
Two continuous tones can be heard:
310 Hz tone when NR is below 360 rpm. 285 Hz tone when maximum takeoff rating is exceeded:
- After 1.5 sec. delay if power remains within transient range.
- Immediately when transient power limitations are exceeded.
- Immediately when max. transient rating is or will be exceeded during fast power increase.
Collective pitch: REDUCE to maintain NR in green arc or power within limitations.
Engine parameters: CHECK.
INTERMITTENT TONE
An intermittent tone (310 Hz) is heard when the NR is above 410 rpm.
Collective pitch: INCREASE to maintain NR in green arc.
ENGINE FLAME-OUT
CRUISE FLIGHT
AUTOROTATION PROCEDURE OVER LAND
- Collective pitch: REDUCE (to maintain NR in green arc.)
- IAS: 70 kt
- Twist grip: IDLE position. (If relighting impossible or after loss of tail rotor thrust)
- Maneuver the aircraft into the wind on final approach.
- At height 70 ft Cyclic: FLARE.
- At 20/25 ft and at constant attitude
- Collective pitch: GRADUALLY INCREASE (to reduce the rate of descent and forward speed)
- Cyclic: FORWARD (to adopt a slightly nose-up landing attitude <10°).
- Pedal: ADJUST (to cancel any sideslip tendency)
- Collective pitch: INCREASE (to cushion touch-down)
- After touch-down Cyclic, collective, pedal: ADJUST to control ground run
- Once the aircraft has stopped Collective pitch: FULL DOWN
- Rotor brake: APPLY below 170 rotor rpm
AUTOROTATION
PROCEDURE
OVER WATER
Apply same procedure as over land, except items but maneuver to head the aircraft equally between the wind and wave direction on final approach.
Ditch with minimum forward speed
(IAS -30 kt) and rate of descent.
After touch-down
- Collective pitch: MAINTAIN
- Forward doors emergency handles: PULL-UP
- Doors: JETTISON or OPEN
- Rotor brake: APPLY
Abandon aircraft once the rotor has stopped
FLAME-OUT
HOVER IGE
- Collective : MAINTAIN.
- Pedals : CONTROL YAW.
- Collective: INCREASE as needed to cushion touch-down.
FLAME-OUT
HOVER
OGE
- Collective pitch: FULL DOWN. When NR stops decreasing
- Cyclic: FORWARD to gain airspeed according to available height.
- Autorotation procedure: APPLY.
WARNING
SAFE AUTOROTATIVE LANDING CAN NOT BE ASSURED IN CASE OF A FAILURE IN HOGE BELOW THE TOP POINT OF THE HV DIAGRAM (REFER TO SECTION 5) OR IN CONFINED AREA.
IN FLIGHT
RELIGHTING
AFTER
FLAME-OUT
According to available height and cause of flame-out
- Engine starting selector: OFF position.
- GENE: OFF.
- FUEL PUMP: ON.
- Engine starting selector: ON position. (The relighting sequence will therefore be automatically carried out as soon as N1 <10 %.)
- After relighting procedure
- GENE: ON.
- FUEL PUMP: OFF.
At least 1000 ft (300 m) are necessary to complete relighting procedure after flame-out.
COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST
HOVER IGE
(or OGE in HV diagram)
LAND IMMEDIATELY
- Twist Grip: IDLE position.
- Collective: INCREASE to cushion touch-down
COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST
HOVER-OGE
(Clear area, out of HV diagram)
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
(If a go-around was performed, carry out an autorotative landing on an area suitable for the autorotation procedure.)
Simultaneously,
- Collective: REDUCE depending on available height.
- Cyclic: FORWARD to gain speed.
- Airspeed: MAINTAIN Vy or higher.
- Collective: ADJUST to obtain minimum sideslip angle.
COMPLETE LOSS
OF TAIL
ROTOR THRUST
IN CRUISE FLIGHT
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
- Airspeed: MAINTAIN Vy or higher.
- Collective: ADJUST to obtain minimum sideslip angle.
APPROACH AND LANDING
On a suitable area for autorotative landing:
- Twist grip: IDLE position.
- Carry out an autorotative landing
LOSS OF
TAIL ROTOR
CONTROL
Symptom: jamming of pedals or loss of pedal effectiveness. These conditions make it impossible to change tail rotor thrust with the pedals
- ADJUST to set IAS to 70 kt
- On a suitable area for a running landing procedure:
- Make a shallow approach with a slight left sideslip.
- Perform a running landing, the sideslip will be reduced progressively as airspeed is reduced and collective is applied to cushion the landing.
LANDING IS MADE EASIER WITH A RH WIND COMPONENT. WHEN AIRSPEED IS LESS THAN 20 KT (37 KM/H), GO AROUND IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LOSS OF VERTICAL FIN EFFICIENCY.
