CAUTION
Take care of N2 response when lowering the collective in order to
avoid engine overspeed.
APPROACH AND LANDING
Landing gear lever : DOWN.
Utility hydraulic system : Pressure within limits, check.
Nose wheel lock : ON (lever up).
Parking brake : OFF.
External light : As required.
Approach : Set one engine torque at 40% if
at high gross weight and at 30%
if at low gross weight.
Use the other engine to estab-
lish a slightly steep approach
(35 ±10 Kts IAS and 700 fpm
maximum rate of descent at
102% NR).
Control the landing point by
changing the airspeed and mini-
mize any further power adjust-
ment.
Landing : Flare the helicopter to minimize
the ground speed at landing.
Use the collective to cushion
the touchdown and, if neces-
sary, leave the NR to drop down
to 90%.
