Page 72: Caution And Warning Annunciators And Audio Tones
ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures 3–2. CAUTION AND WARNING ANNUNCIATORS AND AUDIO TONES A red warning or yellow caution annunciator will illuminate on the IIDS display and in some cases, an audio warning will sound announcing a failure or malfunction. Some secondary IIDS displays have a digital display with a corresponding caution/ warning annunciator.
Page 73: Engine Emergencies
ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures 3–3. ENGINE EMERGENCIES The ENG OUT warning annunciator is located between the TORQUE and EGT vertical displays. When the IIDS senses an engine failure, the ENG OUT TORQUE warning flashes and the low rotor RPM tone is activated for one cycle.
Page 74 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures Conditions: In flight: Maintain operating engine within OEI limits Reduce airspeed to 100 KIAS or less (Ref. Section II) Identify affected (failed) engine by cross checking torque, N CAUTION prior to performing the following steps.
Page 75 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures SECOND ENGINE FAILURE Indications: Low rotor RPM with low rotor tone ON if RPM is below 88%. Possible left yaw Torque, N , and N decreasing to zero. Procedures: Lower collective and maintain rotor speed within limits.
Page 76: Emergency Landing Procedures
ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures 3–4. EMERGENCY LANDING PROCEDURES WATER LANDING − DUAL ENGINE FAILURE Procedures: Adjust collective pitch as necessary to establish autorotation. Cabin doors may be opened when airspeed is 60 KIAS or less. Make autorotative approach, flaring as required to minimize forward speed at touchdown.
Page 77 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures WATER LANDING − OEI/AEO Conditions: Available power allows hovering. NOTE : The gross weight of the aircraft will determine whether sufficient power is available to terminate the approach at a hover or whether a run–on landing must be performed if landing OEI.
Page 78 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Emergency and Malfunction Procedures Conditions: Available power does not allow hovering. Procedures: Establish normal approach to intended landing point. Cabin doors may be opened when airspeed is 60 KIAS or less. Plan to arrive at 100 FT above touchdown at approximately 40 KIAS. At approximately 50 FT, enter a decelerating attitude and increase power to reduce rate of closure.

ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Performance Data 5–11. POWER ASSURANCE CHECK – AUTOMATIC The power assurance check provides a means for the pilot to determine, prior to take off, that each engine is capable of developing specification power. NOTE : The primary purpose of this chart is its use as an engine performance trending tool to aid in determining whether the engine is producing specification power,...
Page 203 ROTORCRAFT FLIGHT MANUAL CSP–900RFM206E–1 MD900 With PW 206E Performance Data HOW TO PERFORM THE CHECK: NOTE : Power checks should be performed under the following conditions. 1. Aircraft should be faced into the wind. 2.Wind speed should not exceed 15 knots nor gust spread 5 exceed knots while performing the check.
