BELL 407 EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
EXAM QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
GRADED A+ 2025/2026
Define LAND AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE - ANS Land without delay at
nearest suitable area
(i.e., open field) at which
a safe approach and
landing is reasonably
assured.
Define LAND AS SOON
AS PRACTICAL - ANS Landing site and
duration of flight are at
discretion of pilot.
Extended flight beyond
nearest approved
landing area is not
recommended.

,ENGINE FAILURE — HOVERING INDICATIONS: - ANS 1. Left yaw.
2. ENGINE OUT and RPM warning lights illuminated.
3. Engine instruments indicate power loss.
4. Engine out audio activated when NG drops below 55%.
5. NR decreasing with RPM warning light and audio.
ENGINE FAILURE — HOVERING PROCEDURE: - ANS 1. Maintain heading and attitude
control.
2. Collective — Adjust to control NR
and rate of descent. Increase prior to
ground contact to cushion landing.
3. Complete helicopter shutdown.
ENGINE FAILURE — IN FLIGHT INDICATIONS: - ANS 1. Left yaw.
2. ENGINE OUT and RPM warning
lights illuminated.
3. Engine instruments indicate power
loss.
4. Engine out audio activated when NG
drops below 55%.
5. NR decreasing with RPM warning
light and audio on when NR drops
below 95%.
ENGINE FAILURE — IN FLIGHT PROCEDURE: - ANS 1. Maintain heading and attitude control.

, 2. Collective — Adjust as required to maintain 85 to 107% NR.
3. Cyclic — Adjust to obtain desired autorotative AIRSPEED.
4. Attempt engine restart if ample
altitude remains.
5. FUEL VALVE switch — OFF.
6. At low altitude:
a. Throttle — Closed.
b. Flare to lose airspeed.
7. Apply collective as flare effect decreases to further reduce forward speed and cushion
landing. Upon ground contact, collective shall be reduced smoothly while maintaining cyclic in
neutral or centered position.
8. Complete helicopter shutdown.
NOTE - VNE power off is 100 KIAS. Min descent is 55 KIAS. Max glide is 80 KIAS.
ENGINE UNDERSPEED Indications - ANS 1. Decrease in NG.
2. Subsequent decrease in NP.
3. Possible decrease in NR.
4. Decrease in TRQ.
ENGINE UNDERSPEED procedure: - ANS 1. Collective — Adjust as required to maintain 85 to
107% NR.
2. Throttle — Confirm in FLY detent position.
3. Throttle — Position throttle to the approximate bezel position that coincides with the gauge
indicated NG.
4. FADEC MODE switch — MAN.
5. NR — Maintain 95 to 100% with throttle and collective.
