4-12. LANDING APPROACH
Set engine rpm at 3100.
CAU TION
FIRE CAN RE SULT FROM A LANDING IN
TALL DRY GRASS DUE TO EX HAUST HEAT;
EX ER CISE CARE IN SE LECTING LANDING
SITE. IN CASE OF A GRASS FIRE MOVE AIR -
CRAFT TO A CLEAR AREA.
Slow airspeed to approximately 52 kt (60 mph) for a normal
approach and reduce collective for the desired rate of descent.
Maintain 3100 rpm. On approaching the desired landing spot,
reduce airspeed and rate of descent until a hover is established.
4-13. RUNNING LANDING
CAU TION
AVOID RAPID LOWERING OF COL LEC TIVE
PITCH CON TROL AFTER GROUND CON TACT.
40 mph maximum recommended ground contact speed for smooth
hard surface.
4-14. ENGINE COOLING SHUTDOWN
CAU TION
SHUT DOWN ENGINE BEFORE EXITING
HELICOPTER.
Perform idle mixture check Paragraph 4-15 prior to last shutdown of
day.
Collective down, friction ON
After landing, maintain 3000 rpm with full down collective pitch for
two minutes; watch for cylinder head temperature to decrease and
stabilize.
Decrease to and hold 2000 rpm until CHT stabilizes at lowest
reading.
Set cyclic stick in neutral position.
Tighten all friction controls.
Close throttle to IDLE STOP.
