Power Failure above 500 AGL
- lower collective
- steady glide 65 KIAS
- select landing spot
-cyclic flare 40 feet AGL - level ship 8 feet AGL
Power Failure 8 feet-500 feet AGL
-enter autorotation
-keep steady glide 65 KIAS
-maintain rotor RPM 97%
Power failure below 8 AGL
- right pedal
-settle
-pull collective
Max glide distance
- 75 KIAS
- Rotor RPM 90%
- 1 NM per 1500 feet AGL
Water landing - power off
- autorotation
-unlatch doors
-apply lateral cyclic upon water contact
Water landing - power on
- hover above water, passenger exit
- fly safe distance
-switch battery and alternator off - roll off throttle
-keep level, apply lateral cyclic to stop rotors
Loss of tail rotor thrust in flight
- autorotation
-maintain 70 KIAS - select landing site, roll throttle into travel overspring
- if no suitable landing, fly at low power settings (so it doesn’t yaw to the right too much) at 70 KIAS until finding a more suitable spot
Loss of tail rotor thrust in hover
– roll throttle off
- settle
-pull collective
Land as soon as practical
- headset audio failure
- tach failure (tach, governor, and low RPM are on separate circuits)
- governor complete flight manual control
Engine fire in flight
- autorotation
-cabin heat and battery off - if engine is running, perform normal landing and fuel mixture/ fuel valve off
-engine not running - fuel valve off, autorotation
Caution Low RPM warning and governor
inoperative with battery and switches both off
Warning/caution lights
- oil indicates loss of engine power or oil pressure; chech tachs for power loss and oil for pressure loss. Land immediately if confirmed
- MR temp, MR chip, TR chip: if warning light is accompanied by noise, vibration, temp rise, then land immediately.
- break in fuzz - clean and hover for 30 minutes
Low Fuel light
low fuel - indicates 1.5 GAL usable fuel remaining, leaving only 10 minutes left
Clutch light
-clutch - indicates clutch actuator circuit is on or engaging; light stays o until belts are tensioned
if clutch light stays on 10 seconds, pull clutch circuit breaker and land as soon as practical
ALT light
-ALT - indicates low voltage and possible alternator failure
turn off nonessential electrical equipment and switch ALT off and back on to reset. If light stays on, land as soon as practical
Starter ON
Indicates starter motor engaged, If it does not go off, pull mixture off and turn battery switch off
Low RPM light
Indicates rotor speed below 97%
-lower collective roll throttle on, apply aft cyclic
Carbon Monoxide detector
Shut off heater open vents; if CO poisoning symptoms occur, land immediately
Low RPM horn
- provided through audio system
LOW G
aft cyclic and then correct the roll
Uncommanded pitch in turbulence
Apply controls to maintain rotor RPM, positive G forces; minimize cyclic controls in turbulence
Inadvertent turbulence
depart the area or land as soon as practical
Recommended airspeeds
-Takeoff 60 KIAS
- Max rate of climb 53 KIAS
- Max range 83 KIAS
- Turbulence 60-70 KIAS
-Landing 60 KIAS

Carburetor Heat Usage
Carb ice most likley forms between OAT -4 degrees C and 30 degrees C and difefrence between OAT and dewpoint is 15 degrees
Use carb heat during autos of MAP below 18
Rotor System
Two all-metal blades mounted to the hub by coning hinges. The hub is mounted to the shaft by a teeter hinge
Drive System
A vee-belt sheave is bolted directly to the engine output shaft. Vee-belts transmit power to the upper sheave which has an overrunning clutch contained in its hub. Transmits power forward to the main rotor and aft to the tail rotor
Flight controls
Primary controls are actuated through push-pull tube systems and bellcranks
engine throttle is correlated to the collective inputs through a mechanical linkage
