SUDDEN STOPPAGE — MAIN ROTOR —
POWER “ON” OR “OFF”
Sudden stoppage is any fast deceleration of the main rotor drive
system. This may be caused by the seizure of the transmission
or by contact of the main rotor blades with the ground, water,
snow, dense vegetation, or other objects of sufficient mass to
cause a fast deceleration of the main rotor.
When a sudden stoppage has occurred, do the steps that
follow:
Chapter 62

each remaining blade and write, “THIS BLADE WAS
REMOVED FROM SERVICE BECAUSE OF A SUDDEN
STOPPAGE.” Send the remaining blades to an approved facility
for repair.
