FAA Approved
4 − 7. CRUISE
Cyclic trim: use proper trimming procedures described for climbout.
SCAV AIR (if installed)
AS DESIRED
Above 50 knots and 50−foot altitude above terrain, select N
2
between 102
and 103 percent for best comfort level.
Use engine anti−icing when OAT is below 5
°
C (41
°
F) and visible moisture
conditions prevail.
4 − 8. LOW SPEED MANEUVERING
Maneuvers that exceed thrust capability of the tail rotor should be avoided.
NOTE
: Conditions where thrust limits may be approached are: High density altitude,
high gross weight, rapid pedal turns, and placing the helicopter in a down wind
condition. These conditions may exceed the thrust capability of the tail rotor.
Extreme aircraft attitudes and maneuvers at low speeds should be avoided.
Uncoordinated turns/maneuvers may cause fuel starvation with
less than 35 pounds of fuel on board.
Observe the cross − hatched regions of Height Velocity Diagram
(Ref. Section V). These represent airspeed/altitude combinations
from which a successful autorotation may be difficult to perform.
Operation within the cross hatched area in not prohibited, but
should avoided.
