4.8 ENGINE START IN FLIGHT
The engine should not be deliberately stopped in flight except as part of forced landing training
under the supervision of a competent instructor.
Where practical, to limit engine damage, leave the engine to idle at 3000 rpm for about 30 sec
to cool before turning it off.
The engine can be restarted in flight using the usual starting procedure.
NOTE:
To restart the engine the key must be turned completely to off, and then back to start
4.9 ABANDONING THE AIRCRAFT
In normal circumstances occupants should not leave the aircraft while either the propeller or the rotors are
turning to prevent risk of the occupants being struck by moving blades.
If abandoning the aircraft in an emergency the pilot should turn the off the engine magneto switches and flick
the Master switc
h to “OFF”.
If abandoning the aircraft with either the propeller and/or the rotors turning the occupants should follow a
path out of the cockpit straight forward away from the nose of the aircraft, to minimise the risk of injury.
