Warning

All tie-downs removed

Caution

Don’t touch the foam pad

Note

Can reach all flight controls

Question 2

BATT No.1 and No.2 switches - ON - N

Answer 2

Beeping. ICS start-up checks

Question 3

APU CONT Switch ON - N, N

Answer 3

Note #1

If the APU does not start and the APU ACCUM LOW advisory does not appear with the APU CONT switch ON, the manual override lever on the accumulator manifold should be pulled to attempt another start, and held until the APU has reached self-sustaining speed.

Note #2

If APU fails, note and analyze BITE indications before cycling BATT switch or before attempting another APU start.

Question 4

GENERATORS APU Switch ON - W, W

Answer 4

Warning #1

Assure stabilator area is clear prior to energizing stabilator system because the stabilator will move to the full down position.

Warning #2

Make sure that no person is within 3 feet of the TACAN antenna when power is applied to the helicopter because it will emit radiation.

Question 5

DEC/EDECU check signal validation fault codes - Check - N, N, N

Answer 5

Note #1

Am EDECU startup code of 25% will display on torque indicators approx. 20 seconds after AC power is applied to indicate a 701D engine with a DAS plug installed and an EDECU

Note #2

An EDECU configuration is verified on the FMS status page

Note #3

A DEC will immediately show fault codes, 4 seconds on and 2 seconds off during startup, and 30 seconds after shutdown with AC power applied

Question 6

MASTER WARNING PANEL Check - N

Answer 6

Note

If a segment light does not appear, pull out 1⁄4 inch then push back in to reset the bulb.

Question 7

Press FCC FAILURE RESET switches - N

Answer 7

Note

EGI’s must be in ORIENT phase before FCC faults will reset

Question 8

Flight Controls -Check first flight of day - W, W, C, N, N

Answer 8

Warning

User must perform control sweeps to ensure no flight controls interfere with aviator gear.

Warning

If Pri servo 1 OR 2 fail caution appear during collective movement, a servo bypass valve jammed. DON’T FLY.

Caution

If hydraulic access cover is open, ensure rotor blades are offset.

Note

You will get bearing and bolt noises if you push pedals past the system stop.

Note

Check for not more than 1.5 inch of free play in control

Question 9

Stabilator - Check - W

Answer 9

Note

If there are any fails, DON’T FLY

Question 10

FMS Initialization - N, N, N, N

Answer 10

Note #1

FMS defaults to the last known helicopter position. The FMS automatically updates the date, time and position with GPS data once it becomes available.

Note #2

If INIT is not selected manually, it will automatically engage once the GPS acquires satellites and determines its location.

Note #3

The “Calculator” PERFORMANCE function will ONLY be used to reference PERFORMANCE values after verifying the correct configuration of the aircraft.

Note #4

EGI 2 may attempt to an air alignment when AC power is applied, this is normal and may take 1 minute.

Question 11

Set up MFD/FD/FMS for mission - N

Answer 11

Note

Only two UTO’s can be loaded (unit task organizations)

Question 12

Starting Engines - C

Answer 12

Caution

Ensure rotor blades are centerline +/- 20 degrees before engaging rotor brake. Heat damage can occur if rotors are over the UES.

Question 13

GUST LOCK ENGAGED caution - verify off - N,

Answer 13

Note

Gust lock caution verify on EICAS page is off.

Question 14

STAB UNLOCKED caution - Verify off. - W, N,

Answer 14

Warning

An unlocked Stabilator can hit tail rotor is engine is turned on.

Note

STAB UNLOCKED may not be in CAS page. Verify in overflow box on EICAS display.

Question 15

Engines - Start - W, Cx4, Nx8

Answer 15

Warning

If rotor movement occurs due to rotor brake slippage. Shutdown engines or release rotor brake

Caution

If start is attempted with ENG IGNITION switch off, Don’t place switch ON, Abort start.

Caution

Don’t move the ENG POWER CONT lever from IDLE to OFF while pressing starter button.

Caution

During ENG start and run-up ensure the cyclic is neutral. Collective no more than 1 inch above full down, pedals centered until NR reaches 50% minimum to prevent damage to anti-flap bracket bushings.

Caution

For starts with rotor brake off and during rotor engagement, cyclic inputs shall be minimized to prevent droop-stop pounding.

Note

Engines may be started with inop or uninstalled rotor brake

Note

MAIN XMSN PRESS caution is on and no pressure indication is on until rotor brake is released.

Note

During rotor brake operations there will be no NP or Q indications until rotor brake is released

Note

All No.1 and No.2 hydraulic pump cautions remain until rotor brake is released.

Note

FUEL PRESS LOW cautions may appear during start process and should disappear when engine stabilizes at ground idle

Note

The FUEL BOOST PUMP switches shall not be used to extinguish the FUEL 1 PRESS LOW or FUEL 2 PRESS LOW caution during and ENG start.

Note

If an ENG STARTED ON caution disappears when the starter button is released, and the ENG POWER CONT lever is OFF, The start attempt may be continued by pressing and holding the starter button until 52% to 65% NG speed is reached; then release starter button

Note

There is a one second delay between the time the starter disengages and the ENG STARTER ON caution disappears. Therefore, ENG Starter caution may remain on above 65% NG, but must be out by ENG idle.
