-
Power failure above 500 feet agl
- 1: Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor rpm.
- 2: Establish a steady glide at approximately 65kias
- 3: Adjust collective to keep rpm between 97 and 110 or apply full down collective if light weight prevents attaining above 97.
- 4: Select landing spot and, if altitude permits, maneuver so landing will be into wind.
- 5: A restart may be attempted at pilot's discretion if sufficient time is available.
- 6: If unable to restart, turn unnecessary switches and fuel valve off.
- 7: At about 40' agl begin cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward airspeed.
- 8: At about 8' agl, apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing. Touch down in level attitude with nose straight ahead.
-
Power failure between 8' and 500'
- 1: Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor rpm.
- 2: Adjust collective to keep rpm between 97 and 110% or apply full down collective if light weight prevents attaining above 97%.
- 3: Maintain airspeed until ground is approached, then begin cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward airspeed.
- 4: At about 8' agl apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing. Touch down in level and nose straight ahead.
-
Power failure below 8' agl
- 1: Apply right pedal as required to prevent yawing.
- 2: Allow aircraft to settle.
- 3: Raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing.
-
Maximum glid distance configuration
- 1: Airspeed approximately 75kias
- 2: Rotor rpm approximately 90%
- 3: Best glide ratio is about 4:1 or one nautical mile per 1500' agl
-
Air restart procedure
- 1: Mixture- full rich
- 2: Primer - down and locked
- 3: Throttle- closed, then slightly cracked
- 4: Actuate starter with left hand.
