What should be performed for all emergencies?
- Maintain control of the aircraft
- Alert Crew
- Determine the precise nature of the problem
- Complete the applicable emergency procedure or take action appropriate for the problem.
- Determine landing criteria and land as required.
Land Immediately
Execute a landing without delay. The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of the occupants.
Land as soon as possible
Execute a landing at the first site at which a safe landing can be made.
Land as soon as practicable
Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the PIC.
Engine Malfunction in Flight
- Control Nr.
WARNING:
Flying with a torque greater than 110% with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual-engine failure.
- CONTGCY PWR switch - On
- Single-engine conditions - Establish
- ENG ANTI-ICE switches - As required
WARNING:
With anti-ice on, up to 18% torque available is lost. Torque may be reduced as much as 49% with improperly operating engine inlet anti-ice valves.
- External cargo/stores/fuel - Jettison/dump, as required
- Identify malfunction
Engine High-Side Failure in flight
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
A. Torque 10% below good engine, or
B. Matched Ng, or
C. Matched TGT - Land as soon as practicable
Engine High-Side Failure on Deck
- PCLs - IDLE
Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuations
If an engine instrument is spiking/fluctuating and inducing secondary indications in Ng, Np, and/or Nr:
1. Engine malfunction in flight emergency procedure - Perform
If fuel contamination is suspected:
2. Land as soon as possible.
WARNING:
PCL movement during engine fluctuations may precipitate an engine failure. Consider performing APU Emergency Start procedure prior to manipulating the PCL. Maintaining a low power setting when moving the PCL will minimize the Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails.
Compressor Stall
CAUTION:
If the Ng decay relight feature attempts to relight the engine, subsequent compressor stalls may occur and damage the engine. A yaw kick may be experienced each time the engine relights. The engine must be manually shut down.
- Engine malfunction in flight emergency procedure - Perform
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - IDLE
Engine High-speed shaft failure
CAUTION:
Following a high-speed shaft failure, the engine will overspeed, the Np overspeed system will flame out the engine, and the auto-ignition system will activate the relight feature. The engine Np governor will eventually bring Np down toward 100%. The engine must be manually shut down to prevent further damage.
- Engine malfunction in flight emergency procedure - Perform
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - OFF
- Land as soon as practicable
Abort Start indications
Abort engine start if any of the following limits are exceeded:
- Ng does not reach 14% within 6 seconds after starter initiation.
- No oil pressure within 30 seconds after starter initiation (do not motor engine)
- No light-off within 30 seconds after moving PCL to IDLE.
- ENG STARTER advisory disappears before reaching 52% Ng.
- TGT reaches 851C before idle is attained.
CAUTION:
For aborted starts, fuel flow must be stopped immediately (PCL - OFF) to prevent engine overtemperature.
Abort Start
To abort start:
- PCL - OFF
- ENGINE IGNITION switch - OFF
If engine oil pressure is indicated:
- Starter - ENGAGE
- Starter - DISENGAGE after 30 seconds and TGT below 540C
Engine Malfunction during Hover/Takeoff
- Control - Nr
- CONTGCY PWR switch - ON
If a suitable landing site exists or unable to transition to forward flight:
- Set level attitude, eliminate drift, cushion landing.
If able to transition to forward flight:
- Engine malfunction in flight emergency procedure - perform
Dual Engine Failure
- Autorotation - Establish
- Immediate Landing/Ditching emergency procedure - Perform.
If time and altitude permit:
- Engine Air Restart emergency procedure - Perform
Single-Engine Failure in Flight
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
- Land as soon as practicable.
Engine Air Restart
CAUTION: For a crossbreed start, use the maximum Ng safely obtainable on the donor engine. Ng less than 94% may result in hot starts.
NOTE:
Either single- or dual-engine restart may be attempted following dual-engine failure. Decision should be based on applicability of respective start envelopes and considerations of longer time to idle when executing a dual-engine start.
- APU Emergency Start procedure - As required
- ENGINE IGNITION switch - NORM
- Fuel selector lever(s) - DIR or XFD.
- PCL(s) - OFF
- Starter(s) - Engage, motor engine
- PCL(s) - IDLE (TGT 80C or less, if time permits)
- PCL(s) - Advance to FLY after starter dropout.
WARNING:
If APU is unavailable, and a crossbreed start is necessary, maximum torque available will be reduced during the start sequence. Depending on operating conditions, level flight may not be possible. Ensure AIR SOURCE ECS/START switch is placed to ENG for crossbreed starts.
APU Emergency Start
- ECS - OFF
- AIR SOURCE ECS/START switch - APU
- FUEL PUMP switch - APU BOOST
- APU CONTR switch - ON
- APU GENERATOR switch - ON
Unusual Vibrations on Deck
CAUTION:
Application of the rotor break may aggravate lead/lag tendencies and cause a mechanical failure.
- Collective - Lower
- PCLs - OFF
- Rotor break - Apply as required
Hung Droop Stop(s)
NOTE:
While operating in cold weather, consideration should be given to turning the BLADE DE-ICE control panel POWER switch to the POWER ON position. This will activate the droop-stop heaters and aid the droop-stops in seating.
- Reengage rotor to greater than 75% Nr
Low Rotor Rpm
Warning light is activated by the vertical instrument when Nr is less than 96%.
- Control Nr.
- Determine cause of low Nr condition.
Main transmission malfunction
If failure is imminent:
WARNING:
Possible indications of main transmission imminent failure may include: yaw attitude excursions with no control input, an increase in power required for a fixed collective setting, failure of a main generator or hydraulic pump, increased noise, increased vibration levels, or abnormal fumes in the cabin.
- Land immediately
If secondary indications are present:
- Land as soon as possible
