Definitions
The drgree of emergency of landing the helicopter
Land as soon as possible - Land without delay at the nearest suitable area (open
field etc) at which a safe approch and landing is safely assured.
Land as soon as practicable - The duration of flight and landing site are at the
discreation of the pilot. Extended flight bey ond the nearest approved landing area is not
recommended.
Note : The N2 speed is allowed to drop to 94% during transition from twin engine to
single en
gine operation. When the best rate of climb airspeed 55Kts is obtained the N2 should be
increased to normal operating range ( 97 % - 100%)
Note : Forward speed landing on firm level terrain have been demonstrated at ground
speed at to 50 kts and gross weigh of 11,200 pounds.
Note : If in near proximity to the ground prior to landing or just after take off land
helicopter first, then follow the fire procedure.
Malfunctioning Procedures

ON DC BUS 2
Covernor
Gov. in manual Engine temp & RPM must
Manual mode be controlled with
twist grip
(Eng 1 or 2)
Door lock Cabin aft door (s) Check doors closed &

For single generator operation. nonessential buses may be restored by moving the
nonessential bus switch from the Normal to the Manual position. Monitor to ensure loads
within limits.
Hydraulic Malfunction
This helicopter has two hydraulic powered flight control system (1 & 2) Both systems
supply power to each flight control system for the main rotor, with the tail rotor control
system powered by system No 1 only if either the system pressure of temperature goes
above the red line, the appropriate system should turned off. Continued flight and normal
maneuvers can be maintained on the remaining sys
tem. If system No 1 is turned off the tail rotor control is unpowered. Pedal force are
increased but no charge in lim
tion results.
Heater Malfunction
A malfunction in the bleesd air heater units controls will cause the heater to be
inoperative.
System Selector Switch - Off
Inverters - CHK for proprer AC voltage on Bus No 1 If unable to get voltage on BUS No
1 channels will inoperative.
Circuit breakers - In If a breaker has popped out pops again after being reset do not
attempt further resetting.
Master SCAS / AFCS power switch ON
Individual channel No Go light - Move appropriate flight control and observe that each
light comes ON . DO not attempt to engage a channel thst did not light up when the
control was moved.
Individual channel NO GO lights - out (Do not at
tempt to engage chan
nel if light is ON)
Individual channel ARM switches (Operative channels)-to CASA or ATTED as desired.
SCAS engage switch - engage. If any unusual control input, disengage SCAS
ATTED engage switch - (If desired) engage. If any unusual control input disengage
AFCS.
Note - SCAS will work normally on all channels unless gyro failure was caused by AC
system failure.
Ac failure - System No 1
Note -Normally, the No3 inverter will; supply power to either bus if failure of the No 1 or
2 inverter should occur. If no power is available on No1 bus proceed as follows;
PICTH , ROLL & YAW Channed ARM SWitches - Off
Caution - Copilot Ac power instrument & No 1 Engine pressure instruments will be
inoperative.
AC Failure No 2
Note - Normally the No 3 INVETER will supply power to either bus if a failure of the No
1 or NO2 inverter should occur.
Caution - Pilot’s AC powered instruments & No 2 engine pressure instruments will be
inoperative.
Note - This procedure select an altermate static source cabin air for pilot side instrument
only.
