Section III
EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES
EMERGENCIES
This section contains fault conditions considered to constitute an emergency
or malfunction condition. Red warning lights and amber caution lights are lo-
cated on the instrument panel and provide the pilot with a visual indication of a
condition, fault, or system malfunction by means of an indication that a prob-
lem has occurred which, unless treated properly, could affect flight safety. In
addition, certain emergency conditions are made known by audio signals. Re-
medial action as described below should be taken with the urgency each situa-
tion warrants.
All corrective action procedures listed herein assume the pilot gives first prior-
ity to helicopter control and a safe flight path.
The helicopter should not be operated following any emergency landing or
shutdown until the cause of the malfunction has been determined and correc-
tive maintenance action taken.
DEFINITION
The following terms indicated the degree of urgency in landing the helicopter.
Land as soon as possible - Land without delay at nearest suitable area (i.e.
open field) at which a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured.
Land as soon as practicable - The landing site and duration of the flight are at
the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved land-
ing site is not recommended.
