Complete Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust
- In a hover:
- 1) Twist Grip - Flight idle
- 2) Cyclic - Eliminate drift
- 3) Collective - Increase to cushion landing
- Transition to forward flight or hover/air taxi:
- 1) Twist Grip - Flight idle
- 2) Cyclic - Eliminate sideward drift
- 3) Collective - Increase to cushion landing
- At altitude:
- 4) Autorotate
- If yaw is not controllable:
- 5) Twist Grip - Flight idle immediately
- If yaw is controllable:
- 6) Continue powered flight and set up to a suitable landing area at or above minimum rate of descent autorotation airspeed
- 7)Autorotate
- 8) Twist Grip - Rotate to flight idle prior to touchdown
