EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

In-flight engine restart
Attempt engine restart only when the autorotation is stabilized on the
trajectory to an appropriate landing area, and sufficient time is available.
If successful, power recovery can take only a few seconds.
1. Stabilize autorotation,
2. Check boost pump ON, fuel valve OPEN,
3. Check mixture full forward (RICH),
4. Check both ignition switches ON, upward,
5. Apply about 50 % throttle (90° twist grip),
6. Press starter button.
Note 1
: Governor may be kept engaged or not.
Note 2
: Do not worry for engine very fast acceleration. There is no risk
of overtorque at re-synchronization. Be prepared to yawing to
the left if power recovers.
Note 3
: In absence of perceivable sound, the STARTER light gives a
visual clue that the starter is actually energized.
