Hélicoptères Guimbal
SECTION 4
CABRI G2
NORMAL PROCEDURES
4-14
Climb
Prescribed climb speed is 50 kt IAS.
Adjust power to obtain desired rate-of-climb. Maximum allowed power is
yellow arc threshold on MLI.
If full throttle is reached (100 % FLOW on the MLI), the rotor speed may
decrease. In this case, slightly lower the collective to recover rotor speed.
Cruise and/or Level flight
All parameters ............................................................................ Green arcs
Warning and caution lights .................................................................... OFF
Fuel remaining .................................................................................... Check
Economy cruise is obtained with ....................10% below yellow arc on MLI
Fast cruise is obtained with .............................. yellow arc threshold on MLI
Maximum endurance speed is ...................................................... 50 kt IAS
Best range speed is ...................................................................... 80 kt IAS
Flight time management
The EPM has two features to ease flight management :
•
A fuel flow computer, giving different data described page 7-15,
•
A flight time counter, displaying the real flight time to be logged,
described page 7-14.
The flight time display is frozen at rotor shutdown, until next start-up, and is
stored in the EPM flight log page.
The average fuel flow during ongoing flight is stored in the EPM flight log
page.
One flight is counted from rotor start-up, to rotor shutdown.
Caution
: The fuel gage and fuel flow indication have a lower accuracy than
their display.
Always perform a cautious fuel planning, and take adequate
reserve for the kind of operation.
Always trust the LOW FUEL warning light as per page 3-15.
