EMERGENCY LANDING PROCEDURES
WATER LANDING - DUAL ENGINE FAILURE
Procedures:
Adjust collective pitch as necessary to establish autorotation.
Cabin doors may be opened when airspeed is 60 KIAS or less.
Make autorotative approach, flaring as required to minimize forward speed
at touchdown.
Level aircraft. Increase collective pitch as contact is made with the water.
When aircraft begins to roll, lower collective to full down to minimize blades
skipping off the water.
Notify crew/passengers to evacuate aircraft after blades have stopped turning.
Do not inflate personal flotation gear until clear of the aircraft
−
safe exit will be restricted.
WATER LANDING - OEI/AEO
Conditions:
Available power allows hovering.
NOTE
:
The gross weight of the aircraft will determine whether sufficient power is
available to terminate the approach at a hover or whether a run
−
on landing must
be performed if landing OEI.
Procedures:
Establish normal approach to intended landing point.
Cabin doors may be opened when airspeed is 60 KIAS or less.
Plan to arrive at 100 FT above touchdown at approximately 40 KIAS.
At approximately 50 FT, enter a decelerating attitude and increase power to
reduce rate of closure.
Descend to hovering altitude over water.
Passengers and copilot exit aircraft.
