4-3. ENGINE PRE-START COCKPIT CHECK (Fig. 4-2 & 4-3)
Pilot-in-command (PIC) position is determined by the configuration of the
instrument panel, and can be easily identified by the orientation of the
basic flight and engine instruments in the instrument panel. For right PIC
position see Figure 4-2, Sheet 1; for left PIC see Figure 4-2, Sheet 2.
NOTE: When three sets of controls are installed in the aircraft, one of
the occupants must possess a helicopter CFI rating. In non-training
operations, it is recommended that the center set of controls be
removed. (Control set includes: cyclic stick, collective stick, and tail
rotor pedals.) Controls may be removed by pilot. Refer to Paragraph
7-12 for collective stick installation and removal.
