Fuel quantity (with bladders) (R44)
- Useable
- Total
- 176L
- 180L
(R44) Engine failure may be indicated by….
- change in noise level
- nose yaw left
- OIL pressure light
- Decreasing RPM
(R44) Power failure ABOVE 500ft AGL (8 steps)
- Lower collective,aft cyclic, right pedal and enter autorotation
- Establish a steady glide at approx 70KIAS
- Keep RPM in green
- Select landing spot and if time permits turn into wind
- Restart may be attempted
- If unable to restart turn off unnecessary switches and shut off fuel
- At about 40ft begin small flare
- At about 8ft apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective to cushion landing
(R44) Air restart procedure (3 steps)
- Mixture-Full rich
- Throttle- closed then cracked slightly
- Actuate starter with left hand
(R44) Loss of tail rotor thrust during hover (3 steps)
- Indicated by nose right yaw which cannot be corrected by left pedal
- Immediately roll throttle off into indent spring and settle
- raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing
(R44) Fire in flight (6 steps)
- Enter autorotation
- Master battery switch off
- Cabin heat off
- Cabin vent ON
- If engine is running perform normal landing and immediatly shut off fuel valve
- If engine stops running, shut off fuel valve and execute autorotation
If OIL light comes on (R44)
- Check engine tach for power loss
2. check oil pressure gage and if pressure loss confrimed Land immediatly
Warning Lights (R44)
- ENG FIRE
- MR TEMP
- MR CHIP
- TR CHIP
- If light is accompanied by any indication of a problem such as noise, vibration or temp rise then land immediatly
- If there is no other indication of problem then land as soon as practical
Clutch Light comes on (R44)
- If on for 10 seconds pull the Clutch circuit breaker
- Reduce power and land immediatly
- Be prepared to enter autorotation
Alternator Light (R44)
- Turn off non-essential electrical equipment and switch off alternator and back on after 1 sec to reset overvoltage relay
- If light stays on land as soon as practical
Low fuel light (R44)
- Indicates approx 3 gallons of useable fuel (10 mins)
- Land immediatly
Starter Light ON (R44)
- IF light does not go out when ignition switch is released from start
- Immediately pull mixture to idle
- turn master switch off
(R44) Power failure between 8ft and 500ft AGL ( 4 steps)
- If failure occurs lower collective immediately to maintain rotor RPM
- Adjust collective to keep RPM in green arc
- Maintain airspeed until ground is approached, then begin flare to reduce rate of descent and forward speed
- At 8ft AGL apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing
(R44) Power failure below 8ft AGL (3 steps)
- Apply right pedal as required to prevent yawing
- Allow rotorcraft to settle
- Raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing
(R44) Ditching (power off) (3 steps)
- Follow same procedures as for power failure over land until contact water
- Apply lateral right cyclic when aircraft contacts water to stop blades from rotating
- Release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when blades stop rotating
(R44) Ditching (with power on) (9 steps)
- Descend to hover above water
- Unlatch doors
- Passengers exit aircraft
- Fly to safe distance from passengers to avoid injury (fuel, parts)
- Switch off battery and alternator
- Roll off throttle into indent spring
- Keep aircraft level and apply full collective as aircraft contacts water
- Apply lateral cyclic to stop blades rotating
- release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when blades stop rotating
Electrical Fire in Flight ( R44) -4 steps
- Master battery switch - OFF
- Alt switch - OFF
- Land immediately
- Extinguish fire and inspect for damage
(R44) Loss of Tail rotor thrust in forward flight (R44) Symptom and 3 steps
Symptoms: Indicated by nose yaw right which cannot be corrected by applying left pedal
- Immediatly enter autorotation
- Maintain at least 70KIAS
- Select landing site and roll throttle off into indent spring and perform autorotation landing
Tachometer Failure (R44)
- If 1 fails use remaining tach to monitor RPM
- Allow governor to control RPM and land as soon as practical
Hydraulic system Failure (R44) -4 steps
- Adjust airspeed and flight condition as desired for comfortable control
- HYD swtich - Verify ON
- If hydrolics not restored, HYD switch - OFF
- Land as soon as practical
