AUTOMATIC FLIGHT CONTROL SYSTEM (AFCS)
NOTE: The system test is initiated with autopilot off, collective full
down and locked, cyclic stick in neutral position, P&R SAS, Pitch
Damper and Yaw SAS engaged.
• The entire system preflight check has to be performed prior
to the first flight of the day (once a day). However, if for
emergency reasons, the pilot wishes to interrupt the preflight test
he should do so using the SAS/AP CUT OFF button.
• Perform peripheral checks and system test in conjunction
with the normal system checks, after completion of hydraulic
checks, with both engines in IDLE and mast moment trimmed to
minimum.
• During the system test routine, the helicopter should not be
moved nor should the pilot move or even touch the controls or the
APMS as this may cause the AFCS to falsely detect errors (the
AFCS commands movements of cyclic stick and pedals during
the preflight test sequence).

WARNING
IF A FAILURE IS DETECTED DURING PREFLIGHT CHECK,
MAINTENANCE ACTION IS NECESSARY AND THE AFCS
SHALL NOT BE ENGAGED UNLESS SPECIFICALLY
PERMITTED BY A MMEL
IF A FAILURE IS DETECTED DURING PREFLIGHT CHECK

c. On the ground
d. Under single engine operating condition (second engine at
ground idle)
CAUTION
Engine / transmission power limitations in section 2 are not to be
exceeded.
To perform the power check, proceed as follows:
1. Before starting engines
a. Set barometric altimeter to 29.92 ........................... Record PA
2. After starting engines:
a. Check calibrated outside air temperature as soon as OAT
has stabilized (if OAT probe was heated up by sun radiation
during parking).
3. BUSTIE sw (of engine to be checked) .................................... OFF

NOTE: Systems on NON-ESSENTIAL and SHED BUS will be


momentarily lost once BUSTIE switches are OFF, resulting in

manual can be achieved when each engine’s indicated N1 is
equal to or less than the chart derived maximum N1 value.
a. lf the engine fails to pass the power check on the ground and
calm wind or unsteady, direction changing wind is present,
perform an inflight power check.
NOTE: At low or unsteady wind velocities on ground, the engine
may ingest exhaust gases causing an increase in N1.
b. If the result is still unacceptable, perform maintenance
actions in accordance with the maintenance manual.

HEIGHT-VELOCITY DIAGRAM
Rev. 25

• The height-velocity envelope is the combination of indicated


airspeed and height above ground as a function of gross
mass, pressure altitude and outside air temperature.
• The diagram shows the area which is critical for helicopter
operation in the event of a single engine failure during takeoff,
landing or other operations near the ground.
• The curves are applicable for landing sites with smooth firm
surfaces and define the conditions in which a safe landing
can be made after an engine suddenly becomes inoperative

RESETTING TRIPPED CIRCUIT BREAKERS
General:
There is a latent danger in resetting a circuit breaker (cb) tripped
by an unknown cause because the tripped condition is a signal
that something may be wrong in the related circuit. Until it is
determined what has caused a trip to occur, crew members
have no way of knowing consequences of resetting a tripped cb.
On–the–Ground:
A cb tripped by an unknown cause may only be reset on the
ground after maintenance has determined the cause of the trip
and has determined that the cb may be safely reset. A cb may
be cycled (tripped, pulled or reset) where it is required to be
performed within approved maintenance inspection criteria, or
as part of an approved trouble–shooting procedure, unless
doing so is specifically prohibited. Resetting a cb tripped by an
unknown cause should normally be a maintenance function
conducted on the ground.
In–Flight:
A tripped cb shall not be reset in flight unless doing so is
consistent with explicit procedures specified in the approved
Flight/Maintenance Manual, its supplements and checklists
used by the crew members or unless, in the judgment of the
pilot-in-command, resetting the cb is necessary for the safe
completion of the flight. Crew members should limit resetting of
cb‘s to one in-flight reset where this action is required. No
attempt should be made to reset a cb if it trips a second time.
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
The following procedures contain the indications of equipment
or system failure or malfunction, the use of emergency features
of primary and backup systems, and appropriate warnings,
cautions, and explanatory notes.
Lists of fault conditions and corrective actions required for
illumination of red warning lights and yellow caution lights are
contained herein.
All corrective action procedures listed herein assume the pilot
gives first priority to aircraft control and a safe flight path.

DEFINITIONS
LAND IMMEDIATELY: The urgency of landing is paramount.
Primary consideration is to assure survival of the occupants.
Landing in water, trees or other unsafe areas should be
considered only as a last resort.

LAND IMMEDIATELY (IMC): Try to reach VMC and continue in


accordance with visual flight rules. If VFR is not possible, land at
the nearest IFR airfield with a published instrument approach.
(RFM Sup 9.2-8-9)

LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE: Land without delay at


nearest suitable area (e.g., open field) at which a safe approach
and landing is reasonably assured.

LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (IMC): Try to reach VMC and


continue in accordance with visual flight rules. If VFR is not
possible, land at the nearest IFR airfield with a published
instrument approach. (RFM Sup 9.2-8-9)

LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE: Duration of flight and


landing site are at discretion of pilot. Extended flight beyond
nearest approved landing area is not recommended.

CONTINUE FLIGHT: Continued flight to the destination,


including overflight of suitable alternate landing locations, are
approved at the discretion of the PIC. Maintenance corrective
actions may be required upon landing. (PHI)

WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
A red warning light on the WARNING PANEL coming on
together with a gong signal or dedicated audio signal indicates
an emergency condition requiring immediate corrective action.
A yellow caution indication on the CAD and two yellow master
caution lights on the instrument panel indicate malfunction or
failure conditions which do not require immediate crew action
but the possible need for future corrective action.
The cautions, indicated at the CAD, are divided into three
sections, SYSTEM 1, MISC and SYSTEM 2. SYSTEM 1
indicates the operating conditions of the left power plant or the
system 1 of a redundant system. SYSTEM 2 provides the same
features for the right power plant or the system 2 of a redundant
system. MISC indicates the operating conditions of the non-
redundant systems.
The yellow master caution lights in the pilot’s field of view leads
the pilot’s attention to the indication(s) on the CAD whenever a
caution has been activated there.
Each caution (CAD-indication and master caution light) must be
acknowledged by the pilot (copilot) by pushing the RESET
button on the cyclic stick grip or the SELECT key on the CAD.
When a DECISION height is set and the specific DH audio is
heard, this alert must be acknowledged by the pilot flying as
well. Acknowledged cautions are indicated in sequence of
importance. In case of lack of space on the screen, further
confirmed cautions will be stored on additional pages, which will
be indicated by the “1 of 2” message on top of the middle
column. They can be called up via the SCROLL key. Any new
unconfirmed caution overlies the previous caution and is
bordered by two flashing lines to draw the pilot’s attention to the
new caution.
It is always possible that a warning light or caution indication will
come on unnecessarily. Whenever possible, check the light or
indication against its associated instrument to verify that an
emergency condition has actually occurred.
Following is an alphabetical listing of the warning lights
(WARNING PANEL) and caution indications (CAD) with the
relevant conditions, any further indications and the emergency
procedures
