Dual Engine Fire In Flight
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
Emergency Shutdown
[CAUTION]
An emergency engine shutdown occurs when the engine is shut down from a high power setting (above 90 percent Ng) without performing a 2-minute
cooldown. If a normal engine cooldown was not possible, the engine can be restarted if:
— The reason for shutdown is known and restarting will not causeengine damage.
— The engine is motored to cool MGT to 150 °C and restart is initiatedwithin 5 minutes after shutdown.
— The engine is allowed to cool for 4 hours if restart cannot be initiatedwithin 5 minutes after shutdown.
HOT START
INDICATION (affected engine):
1. MGT reaches 867 °C before starter cutout.
PROCEDURES:
*1. Throttle (affected engine) — CLOSE.
CAUTION Do not secure the affected engine FUEL switch. The starter would be disabled and preclude motoring of the engine.
*2. START switch (affected engine) — ENGAGE. Motor affected engine for approximately 20 seconds or until MGT decreases below 150 °C.
CAUTION
Observe starter limits.
3. Helicopter — SHUT DOWN.
ENGINE FIRE ON START
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
HYDRAULIC #1 FAILURE
INDICATIONS:
Note
Control feedback may be evident during abrupt maneuvers.
HYDRAULIC #2 FAILURE
INDICATIONS:
CAUTION
The GRBX OIL temperature will rise very rapidly (approximately 28°C perminute) without cooling air through the heat exchanger.
ROTOR BRAKE PRESSURIZES IN-FLIGHT
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
*1. Rotor brake handle — FULL DOWN.
If warning light(s) extinguish, continue flight.
If warning light(s) remains illuminated:
*2. HYD switch — SYS 2 OFF
Note
With hydraulic system No. 2 off, VSS and SCAS pitch and roll channels will be inoperative.
SCAS FAILURE
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
*1. SCAS (affected channels) — OFF.
Note
When the affected SCAS channel is disengaged, the SCAS actuator will return to the centered position almost instantaneously; this coupled with a
simultaneous pilot input to stop the attitude excursion could also result in a greater than expected helicopter response in the opposite direction. If affected channel(s) cannot be identified or excessive aircraft attitude rates develop:
*2. SAS REL switch — PRESS.
WARNING:
Pressing the SAS REL switch will disengage all SCAS channels. The aircraft will simultaneously display unstable tendencies about the pitch, roll,
and yaw axes. Although control of the aircraft can be maintained and safe flight continued, the unstable condition will be aggravated by overcontrolling the aircraft or making large control inputs which could lead to out-of-control flight.
*3. Airspeed — REDUCE (as necessary to maintain controllability).
Note
Airspeed may be adjusted as necessary, however, use caution at higher airspeeds. The decreased aircraft stability and increased control response during SCAS-OFF flight will result in increasingly higher pilot workloads as airspeed increases. Experience has shown that flight below 100 KIAS while avoiding large control inputs will provide an acceptable pilot workload level.
Note
The affected SCAS channel(s) may be identified by separately engaging each SCAS channel and observing the previously experienced malfunction
indications. In flight, SCAS channel engagement will most likely be attempted with the SCAS rate gyros in a non-nulled condition (i.e., engagement with the NO-GO lights illuminated). In this condition, the actuator will normally make an abrupt input to the flight controls at the moment of engagement.
Attempt to minimize control inputs while reengaging SCAS channels.
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust or Components In Flight
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
*1. Flight controls — ADJUST (collective full down, cyclic as appropriate in an attempt to regain controlled flight).
WARNING
Failure to immediately reduce collective can result in sustained right yaw rates of 120-180 degrees per second, thus making a successful autorotation
extremely difficult, as the aircraft may enter the shaded portion of the HV diagram.
*2. Wing stores — JETTISON (as appropriate).
Note
If time and altitude permit, a combination of collective, cyclic, and throttle manipulations may be made in an attempt to reduce rate of descent and extend range.
When committed to landing:
3. Autorotative landing — ACCOMPLISH.
Complete Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust or Components IN A HOVER
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
Engine Np Underspeed
INDICATIONS:
SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
WARNING
If the FUEL LOW caution light is illuminated, the fuel crossfeed valve will open and the fuel boost pumps will activate, pressurizing the fuel system.
If fire persists:
Engine-Driven Suction Fuel Pump Failure
INDICATIONS:
PROCEDURES:
CAUTION
Do not make rapid collective movements. Flight above 10,000-foot pressure altitude shall not be attempted.
If affected engine has flamed out:
AUTOROTATION
Note
Regardless of sink rate at touchdown, damage will be minimized when in a level attitude.
If time and altitude permit:
After touchdown:
Note
The best glide airspeed is 99 KIAS. The minimum rate-of-descent airspeed is 66 KIAS. Do not exceed 120 KIAS during autorotation. Best NR airspeed is 60-80 KIAS.
