5.5 HEIGHT-VELOCITY DIAGRAMS
CAUTION AVOID OPERATION WITHIN THE CAUTION AREA - POWER LOSS OR
ENGINE FAILURE WHILE OPERATING WITHIN THIS AREA IS LIKELY TO
RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE HELICOPTER.
The operator must become familiar with the height-velocity diagrams (see Fig. 5-6
and 5-7) to determine what altitudes and airspeeds are required to safely make an emer-
gency landing in case of a power loss or engine failure. The altitude-airspeed combina-
tions where a safe emergency landing on a smooth level firm surface may not be possible
are represented by the caution (cross-hatched) area of the diagrams.
Two groups of height-velocity diagrams are presented; the first for single engine failure
represented in varying gross mass and pressure altitude, and the second for double en-
gine failure also represented in varying gross mass and pressure altitude.
