5.4 ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT
INSTRUCTIONS:
1.
Close throttle. Engine failure may be sudden or accompanied by
misfiring, typical of fuel starvation.
2.
Lower the nose to keep best glide speed of 105 kph (65 mph/57 kts)
and look for an area for landing into the wind.
3.
If time allows, an engine restart can be attempted. See “Engine
restart procedure”.
4.
If the area for landing is rough or there are obstacles, make a higher
flare over the obstacles to reduce forward speed.
5.
Once on the ground, ignition and fuel pumps OFF.
6.
Rotor brake ON.
7.
Master OFF.

1.
Check fuel pumps ON, check fuel pressure.
2.
Check ignition ON.

Throttle slightly open.
4.
With your left hand, try to restart the engine.

Verify engine parameters are within limits (oil temp/pressure and
CHT). If not, try to land with safety.
