5.7 TAKEOFF PERFORMANCE
5.7.1 Takeoff Procedure
Use of the Category B takeoff procedure (see Fig. 5-12) assures the capability to land
safely (on a smooth level surface) should a single-engine failure occur at any point during
the takeoff.
NOTE Continued takeoff capability is NOT assured for OEI operation when using this
takeoff procedure.
Pre-takeoff check
– Perform
Altimeter – Set
Hover – 3-ft skid height
Rotor RPM – 100 % set with matched torque
All instruments – Normal operating ranges
Acceleration and climb – Start nose-down pitch rotation and simul-
taneously increase power smoothly to
accelerate in a shallow climb. Adjust
pitch attitude at about 25 KIAS to achieve
50 KIAS at 50 ft AGL
When 50 ft AGL is reached:
Collective pitch – Adjust to Takeoff Power
Airspeed – Accelerate to V
Y
Collective pitch – Adjust to Max Continuous Power
Climbout – Continue to desired altitude
