ROBINSON
MODEL R44
SECTION 7
SYSTEMS DESCRIPTION
RPM GOVERNOR
The governor maintains engine RPM by sensing changes
and applying corrective throttle inputs through a friction
clutch which can be easily overridden by the pilot. The
governor is active only above 80% engine RPM and can be
switched on or off using the toggle switch on the end of
the right seat collective.
The governor is designed to assist in controlling RPM under
normal conditions. It may not prevent over- or under-speed
conditions generated by aggressive flight maneuvers.
CAUTION
When operating at high density altitudes,
governor response rate may be too slow to
prevent overspeed during gusts, pull-ups, or
when lowering collective.
