| Rotor Damper Failure Notes |
|
Definition
1. Control inputs should be small and smooth, AOB should be kept to a minimum.
2. Running landing preferable/no-hover acceptable. |

Definition
1. Airspeed -- Slowly reduce to 80kts
2. Engine Instruments -- Check
3. Perform controllability check.
4. If no problems continue flight. |

Term
| Power Settling (Vortex Ring State) Warning |
|
Definition
| Increasing collective has no effect toward recovery and will aggravate vortex ring state. |
|
|
Term
| Settling with Power (Power required exceeds power available) |
|
Definition
*1. CLTV -- Maintain Nr
*2. Airspeed -- Minimum power airspeed.
*3. Load -- Jettison
*4. SCL's -- Full forward
*5. Cyclic -- Level wings.
*6. CLTV -- Cushion Landing |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| Gradually decrease CLTV, airspeed, and severity of manuever, increase Nr if possible. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
1. Reduce speed below 130 KIAS
2. If EMI is suspected, change heading 180 degrees wait 5 minutes to stabilize.
3. Check caution light.
4. If light goes out, suspect EMI. Pull CB. Flight is restricted to 2.5 hrs with CB's pulled.
5. If light stays on -- Land as soon as practical and check manually. |
