Q

Audio warning

Continuous tone

A

Two continuous tones can be heard:

  • a 310 hz tone when Nr is below 360 rpm
  • a 285 Hz tone when maximum takeoff limitations are exceeded.
  • After 1.5 second delay if power remains within transient power limitations
  • immediately when transient power limitations are exceeded

In addition, for VEMD after embodiment of MOD. 07-3195 only.
*Immediately when transient limitations are or will be exceeded during fast power increase

  1. Collective pitch - reduce to maintain NR in green arc or power within limitations
  2. Engine parameters - Check

Apply same procedure as over land, except items 10, 11, and 12, but maneuver to head the aircraft equally between the wind and waves direction on final approach. (Ditch with IAS less than 30 kt’s) and vertical speed. Then apply following checklist items 10, 11, 12.

  • After touchdown*
    10. Collective pitch maintain

Q

In-Flight relighting

A

According to available height and cause of flameout.

  1. Starting selector - off position
  2. [Fuel Pump] or (Fuel P) - On
  3. Starting selector - On position
    * The relighting sequence will therefore be automatically carried out as soon as NG less than 17%*

After relighting:

  1. [Fuel Pump] or (Fuel P) - Off
    * At least 1000’ is necessary to complete relighting procedure after flameout.*

A

Collective maintain tq greater than 10%
(NR reading given by Nf pointer

Land as soon as practicable

25

28
Loss of Ng, tq, or t4 parameters
When a parameter is offline, the parameter value is not displayed on the VEMD upper screen and the parameter scale symbology is displayed in yellow. The first limits indicator (FLI) is replaced by the 3 data symbology (NG, delta (🔺) NG, T4, and Tq) and a failure message is displayed.

If wind operation: 1. Aircraft headwind 2. Cyclic stick slightly into wind Warning: Wait for full rotor shutdown before leaving the aircraft
57
Bleed valve failure
The bleed valve open flag above the FLI (Green cross hash marks) disappears when bleed valve closes The bleed valve is normally open when the engine is shutdown during starting and low power settings - If the flag is not displayed when the engine is shutdown, Check GOV SIGNAL fuse or breaker 30a panel. Do not start engine - if flag does not disappear at high power setting (near MCP or above), the maximum engine power is reduced, specifically in cold weather. - if the flag does not reappear at low power settings, the engine may surge. Avoid abrupt changes in power settings. - bleed valve failure results in GOV illumination Land as soon as practicable
