5.1 ENGINE FAILURE DURING TAKE-OFF RUN
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Close throttle. Engine failure may be sudden or accompanied by
misfiring, typical of fuel starvation.
2. Keep heading and flare with nose up.
3. Ignition and fuel pumps OFF.
4. Rotor brake ON.
5. Master OFF.
5.2 ENGINE FAILURE ON TAKE-OFF (below 150 ft)
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. Close throttle. Engine failure may be sudden or accompanied by
misfiring, typical of fuel starvation.
2. Keep heading. Lower the nose to keep best power-off glide speed
(Vbg) of 120 kph (75 mph/65 kts). Look for an area for landing in front
of you. Do not turn as you don´t have an excess of height.
3. If the area for landing is rough or there are obstacles, make a higher
flare over the obstacles to reduce forward speed.
4. Ignition and fuel pumps OFF.
5. Rotor brake ON.
6. Master OFF.
The rotor will come to a stop with the rotor brake ON. Unless there is
danger present, wait until the rotor has stopped before vacating the
aircraft.
Get out of the aircraft without panic. Help your rear seat occupant to do the
same, if necessary.
