EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
WARNING/CAUTION LIGHTS (cont’d)
BRAKE Indicates rotor brake is engaged. Release
immediately in flight or before starting
engine.
STARTER-ON Indicates starter motor is engaged. If light
does not go out when ignition switch is
released from start position, immediately
pull mixture off and turn battery switch
off. Have starter motor serviced.
GOV-OFF Indicates engine RPM throttle governor is
off.
CARBON
MONOXIDE
Indicates elevated levels of carbon
monoxide (CO) in cabin. Shut off heater
and open nose and door vents. If hovering,
land or transition to forward flight. If
symptoms of CO poisoning (headache,
drowsiness, dizziness) accompany light,
land immediately.
FULL
THROTTLE
(if installed)
Indicates engine near full throttle. The
governor will be ineffective because it
cannot increase throttle to maintain RPM.
Lower collective as required to extinguish
light.
LOW RPM HORN & CAUTION LIGHT
A horn and an illuminated caution light indicate that
rotor RPM may be below safe limits. To restore RPM,
immediately roll throttle on, lower collective and, in
forward flight, apply aft cyclic. The horn and caution light
are disabled when collective is full down.
