6 TAKEOFF
Take off by gradually increasing the collective pitch and maintain hover,
head into wind, at a height of about 5 ft (1.5m).
Check that the engine and transmission monitoring instruments are within
their normal operating ranges.
For transition from hover, increase speed without increasing the power
demand (power required for hover IGE) and without climbing until IAS is
40 kt (74 km/h).
MQ!£ : The bleed valve flag disappears when the valve closes.
The bleed valve is normally open when the engine is shut down,
during starting and at low power.

-Above 100 ft (30 m) select max. continuous power and optimum climbing
speed of (Vy) : IAS = 65 kt (120 km/h -1 kt/1000 ft).
