ENGINE FAILURE PRIOR TO TDP
Indications:
Normal engine failure indications.
Conditions:
Before reaching TDP.
Procedures:
Pitch nose down (initial pitch down attitude varies with height above the heli
pad starting at 0
°
at 10 FT (3M) and varying to 20
°
at TDP) and reduce collective
to prevent rotor droop.
When approaching the ground establish a landing attitude. Apply power to
cushion landing.
ENGINE FAILURE AFTER TDP
Indications:
Normal engine failure indications.
Conditions:
After TDP and initiation of forward acceleration (nose down pitch).
Procedures:
Pitch nose down and reduce collective to prevent rotor droop, accelerate to
V
TOSS
(40 KIAS [74 Km/H]) and adjust power to 2.5 minute OEI limit (Ref.
Section II).
NOTE
:
Initial pitch down attitude is determined by the airspeed at the time of engine
failure
−
up to 20 degrees nose down prior to an indication of airspeed.
Continue climb at 45 KIAS (83 Km/H) to 200 FT (61M) HAT.
Accelerate to V
Y
.
Continue climb at V
Y
and observe OEI limits (Ref. Section II).
Refer to Section III for single engine emergencies.
