Engine Failure - Bell BHT-206L3-FM-1 LongRanger-III Flight Manual

BHT-206L3-FM-1
NOTE
Do not restart engine until
corrective maintenance has been
performed.
3-7.
ENGINE FAILURE -
HOVERING IN GROUND EFFECT
*INDICATIONS:
1. Left yaw.
2.
ENG OUT warning light
illuminated.
3. Engine out audio (if functional)
activated when GAS PRODUCER
drops below 65% RPM.
4. ROTOR RPM decreases with
ROTOR LOW caution light and
audio on when ROTOR drops
below 90% RPM.
5. Engine instruments indicate
power loss.
-PROCEDURE:
1. Maintain heading and landing
attitude.
2. Collective - Adjust to control
rate of descent and cushion
landing. It is recommended that
level touchdown be made prior to
passing through 70% ROTOR
RPM.
3. Land.
4. Shut down helicopter.
3-8. ENGINE FAILURE - OUT OF
GROUND EFFECT
*INDICATIONS:
1. Left yaw.
2. ENG OUT warning light
illuminated.

DOTAPPROVED
Engine out audio (if functional)
activated when GAS PRODUCER
drops below 55% RPM.
ROTOR RPM decreases with
ROTOR LOW caution light and
audio on when ROTOR drops
below 90% RPM.
Engine instruments indicate
power loss.
*PROCEDURE:
1. Maintain heading and attitude
control.
NOTE
ROTOR RPM maintained at high
end of operating range will
provide maximum rotor energy to
accomplish landing, but will
cause an increased rate of
descent
2. Collective - Adjust as required
to maintain 90 to 107% ROTOR
RPM.
.
AVOID LARGE FORWARD CYCLIC
INPUTS UNTIL COLLECTIVE IS
FULLY DOWN AND ROTOR
DECAY HAS CEASED.
NOTE
Maximum AIRSPEED for steady
autorotation is 100 KIAS (115
MPH). Autorotation above this
speed results in high rates of
descent and low ROTOR RPM. A
blue radial is installed on the
AIRSPEED indicator as a reminder
of this condition.
AIRSPEED for Minimum Rate of
Descent is 52 KIAS (60 MPH).
AIRSPEED for Maximum Glide
Distance is 69 KIAS (60 MPH).
Nominal autorotative AIRSPEED is
61 KIAS (70 MPH).
