COMPLETE SOLUTION
Define LAND AS SOON
AS POSSIBLE - (answer)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 - (answer)Landing site and
duration of flight are at
discretion of pilot.
Extended flight beyond
nearest approved
landing area is not
recommended.

ground contact to cushion landing.
3. Complete helicopter shutdown.
ENGINE FAILURE — IN FLIGHT INDICATIONS: - (answer)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: - (answer)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.
