The landing site and duration of the flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area is not recommended.
Land As Soon As Possible
Land without delay at nearest suitable area (i.e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured.
If BATT HOT light illuminates - Land As Soon As Possible
CAUTION LIGHTS (AMBER) SEGMENTS:
FUEL LOW
Verify fuel quanity - Land As Soon As Practical
CAUTION LIGHTS (AMBER) SEGMENTS:
R/FUEL PUMP or L/FUEL PUMP
Descend < 6000 FT PA
Land As Soon As Practical
HYD SYS FAILURE
Airspeed (61 - 69 KTS)
Hydraulic System CB - Out. Power not restored.
Hydraulic System CB - In.
Hydraulic System Switch - On: Off - If power not restored.
Land As Soon As Practicable
ENG FIRE (START/SHUTDOWN)
Throttle - Closed
Fuel Valve - OFF
Starter - Continue to motor until TOT stabilizes
ENG FIRE (IN FLIGHT)
Throttle - Closed
Enter Autorotation
Fuel Valve - OFF
Battery - OFF
Generator - OFF
ELECTRICAL POWER FAILURE
Verify load meter
GEN FIELD & GEN RESET circuit breakers - Check In
GEN Switch - RESET; then GEN
If power is not restored, place GEN Switch to OFF.
Land As Soon As Practical.
DUAL BOOST FAILURE
Land As Soon As Possible. - Up to 150lbs of unusable fuel.
TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE
COMPLETE LOSS OF THRUST
Throttle - Reduce to idle
Autorotate
Min airspeed 52 KIAS during descent
Throttle - Closed for landing
TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE
FIXED PITCH FAILURE
Power - Adjust to minimize excessive yawing.
Airspeed - Adjust to minimize excessive yawing.
CABIN VENTILATION
Cabin Vent - Pull to open
Open cabin windows for maximum ventilation
FUEL CONTROL AND OR GOVERNOR FAILURE
Control power with throttle if engine overspeeds
Maintain RPM with collective pitch if engine underspeeds
Establish autorotative glide
Prepare for power off landing
ENGINE FAILURE AND AUTOROTATION
Collective Pitch Control - Adjust to maintain rotor RPM at 90 - 107%
Cyclic Control - Adjust to obtain desired autorotative airspeed for existing conditions
Normal Autorotative Airspeed - 61KIAS
Minimum Rate of Descent Airspeed - 52KIAS
Maximum Glide Airspeed - 69KIAS
Maximim Steady State Airspeed for Autorotation - 100KIAS
At low altitude, close the throttle and flare to lose excessive airspeed. Apply collective pitch as flare effect decreases to further decrease forward speed and cushion landing. It is recommended that a level touchdown be made prior to passing through 70% rotor RPM.
COMPRESSOR STALL
Collective - Reduce to maintain slow cruise flight
Check TOT and N1 for indications
Engine Anti-Ice - ON
IF PILOT ELECTS TO CONTINUE FLIGHT:
Collective - Increase slowly to desired power level
