Loss of tail rotor thrust in forward flight
Indicated by a nose right yaw
- Immediately enter auto rotation
- Maintain at least 70 KIAS if practical
- Select landing site roll off throttle and perform autorotation landing
Loss of tail rotor thrust in hover
- Immediately roll off throttle and allow aircraft to settle
- Raise collective just before touchdown
Oil light
Check tachometer and oil pressure gauge if pressure is lost land immediately
MR Temp
Indicates excessive temperature of main rotor gearbox
If light is accompanied by any indication of a problem such as a noise vibration or temperature rise land immediately
MR Chip
Indicates metallic particles in Main rotor gearbox
If light is accompanied by any indication of a problem such as a noise vibration or temperature rise land immediately
TR chip
Indicates metallic particles in tail rotor gearbox
If light is accompanied by any indication of a problem such as a noise vibration or temperature rise land immediately
Low fuel
Indicates approximately 3 gallons of usable fuel remaining engine will run out of fuel after 10 minutes
Aux fuel pump
Indicates low auxiliary fuel pump pressure if no other indication of a problem land as soon as practical if light is accompanied by erratic engine operation land immediately
Fuel filter
Indicates 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.
Clutch light
If light comes on in flight and does not go out within 10 seconds pull clutch circuit breaker and land as soon as practical and prepare for an autorotation
Transponder inspected every?
