– CROSS FEED switch : CLOSED.
Crossfeed indicator vertical.
– GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches : OFF.
Perform an autorotative landing.
NOTE
At approximately 100 ft to 70 ft above the ground depending on
weight, initiate a flare to reduce the rate of descent and the
forward speed; at approximately 10 ft bring the helicopter to a
near level attitude.
As the helicopter settles, apply collective at approximately 4 feet
to cushion the touchdown.
Land with forward speed if the terrain permits.
ENGINE HOT START
A hot start is caused by an accumulation of fuel in the combustion chamber,
and/or delay in light-off, causing flames to be emitted from the exhaust and/or
an overtemperature of the TOT.
PROCEDURE
Abort the start of affected engine as follows:
ENG MODE switch : OFF (full counterclockwise).
NOTE
If engine fire occurs during a starting in manual mode, set the
power lever of the affected engine to OFF.
Fuel pump : OFF.
