Answer 0

Do not attempt restart if:

• engine malfunction is suspected
• before safe autorotation is established

Question 1

How to do an air restart

Answer 1

1- mixture off
2- throttle closed
3- starter engaged
4- mixture, move slowly rich while cranking

Question 2

Minimum rate of descent configuration

Answer 2

*airspeed 55 KIAS
*rotor RPM 90%
*minimum rate of descent is about 1350 ft per minute
Ratio 4:1 or 1 nm per 1500 ft AGL

Question 3

Maximum glide configuration

Answer 3

*airspeed 90 KIAS
*rotor RPM 90%
*best glide ratio 4.7:1
1 nm per 1300 ft AGL

Question 4

Power failure above 500 ft AGL

Answer 4

1- lower collective
2- establish glide @ 70 knots
3- adjust collective to catch RPM in the green
4- select landing spot, maneuver into the wind if altitude permits
5- restart may be attempted
6- unable to restart, turn off unnecessary switches and shut off fuel
7- 40 ft AGL begin flare
8- 8 ft AGL apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before touchdown

Question 5

Engine fire during start on the ground

Answer 5

1- cranking- continue and attempt to start which would suck flames and excess fuel into engine
2- if engine starts, run @ 60-70% RPM for a short time, shut down and inspect for damage
3- if engine fails to start, shut off fuel and master switch
4- extinguish fire
5- inspect for damage

Question 6

Hydraulic system failure

Answer 6

1- adjust airspeed and flight condition as desired for comfortable control
2- hydraulic switch- verify on
3- if hydraulics not restored, turn hydraulic switch off
4- land as soon as practical

Question 7

What does the engine fire warning light indicate?

Answer 7

Indicates possible fire in engine compartment

Question 8

What does aux fuel pump warning light indicate?

Answer 8

Low aux fuel pump pressure
If no other indication land as soon as practical
If light is accompanied by erratic engine operation, land immediately

Question 9

What does the fuel filter warning light indicate?

Answer 9

Fuel strainer contamination
If no other indication of a problem, land as soon as practical
If light is accompanied by aux fuel pump warning light or erratic engine operation, land immediately
