Question 2

Constant angle or vertical takeoff can range from vertical to almost flat. It may demand that more power is available than the power required to ____. The angle is initiated from the point of hover (or ground) to a point in space clear of the ____. Vertical takeoffs are ____ over ____ takeoffs and will require ____ power.

Answer 2

hover, obstacles, altitude, airspeed, OGE

Question 3

Level acceleration is used when the power required to hover is the ____ power available. The first objective is to achieve ____ without allowing the aircraft to settle to the surface. As the aircraft enters ETL, make a significant forward cyclic input to prevent ____. Once through ETL the aircraft will begin to climb at the ____ power setting.

Answer 3

Procedure

NRO low/NRO high

1. Rotor RPM indicator - Check
2. Collective lever - Adjust as necessary to maintain NRO within normal range

Question 5

Autorotation

Procedure

1. Collective lever -
2. Airspeed -
   NOTE Maximum range airspeed ____ KIAS
   Minimum rate-of-descent airspeed ____ KIAS
3. Double engine emergency shutdown -
   AT APPROXIMATELY __ FT AGL:
4. Flare attitude - Establish (approx. __ to __) to reduce forward speed and the rate of descent; control NRO
   AT APPROXIMATELY ___ to ___ FT AGL (Note 10-15’ ATM)
5. Flare attitude - Reduce to approx ___
6. Heading - Maintain
7. Collective lever -
8. BAT MSTR sw -
   NOTE: The appropriate values must be adjusted according to prevailing conditions of gross mass, wind and terrain.

Answer 5

1. Collective lever - reduce to maintain NRO within limits
2. Airspeed - 75 KIAS recommended
   NOTE Maximum range airspeed 90 KIAS
   Minimum rate-of-descent airspeed 60 KIAS
3. Double engine emergency shutdown - perform
   AT APPROXIMATELY 100 FT AGL:

   AT APPROXIMATELY 8 to 12 FT AGL (Note 10-15’ ATM)
5. Flare attitude - Reduce to approx 7 degrees
6. Heading - Maintain
7. Collective lever - Raise to stop descent and cushion landing
8. BAT MSTR sw - OFF

Question 9

LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Answer 9

Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i .e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing can be made

Question 10

LAND AS SOON A PRACTICABLE

Answer 10

The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest landing area where appropriate assistance can be expected is not recommended

Question 11

SINGLE ENGINE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

Answer 11

1. Twist grip (affected engine) - rotate slowly to idle, check indications, then to OFF
2. Rotor speed - trim to maximum
   Bleed air heating (if installed) will be shutdown automatically, however, depending on power margin of remaining engine, may be re-engaged as follows:
3. BLD HTG EMER/NORM SW - EMER
4. BLD HTG Rheostat - ON

Question 12

DOUBLE ENGINE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN

Answer 12

ON GROUND

1. Both twist grips - OFF
