3-3. ENGINE FAILURE - ALTITUDE ABOVE 8 FEET AND BELOW
450 FEET
Takeoff operation should be conducted in accordance with the
Height Velocity Diagram (Fig. 5-4).
In the event of power failure during takeoff, the collective pitch
should be initially lowered in order that the rotor speed may be
maintained. The amount and duration of collective reduction
depends upon the height above the ground at which the engine
failure occurs.
As the ground is approached, aft cyclic and collective controls
should be used as needed to decrease forward and vertical velocity.
Ground contact should be established in a level attitude.
3-4. ENGINE FAILURE - ALTITUDE BELOW 8 FEET
A power failure is indicated by a yawing of the ship to the left and a
loss of rotor RPM.
Do not reduce collective pitch.
Apply right pedal to prevent yawing.
Apply collective pitch as necessary, in order to cushion landing.
3-5. ENGINE/FUSELAGE/ELECTRICAL FIRE ON THE GROUND
Set fuel shutoff valve in CLOSED position.
Set battery switch in OFF position.
Set generator switch in OFF position.
WARNING
REMAIN CLEAR OF ROTOR BLADES DURING AND
AFTER EVACUATION.
Exit aircraft with fire extinguisher.
