EMERGENCY PROCEDURES Bell 505
BELL 505 · Checklist
Overview
This document outlines the emergency procedures for the Bell 505 helicopter. It includes detailed steps for various emergency scenarios such as engine failure, electrical issues, and tail rotor malfunctions.
- Only checks & procedures in the RFM are approved.
- In case of engine failure, control heading and maintain appropriate airspeed.
- For engine underspeed, set collective to maintain NR/NP.
- In case of engine overspeed, adjust collective to maintain NR/NP.
- Monitor engine oil pressure and temperature during emergencies.
- For tail rotor malfunctions, maintain heading and adjust power as necessary.
- In case of electrical failure, use standby instruments and land as practical.
- For total electrical failure, use emergency fuel shutoff if necessary.

Engine Out Procedures
Control heading and maintain vertical descent in hover; in flight, maintain NR and IAS within specified ranges.
Engine Underspeed
Set collective to maintain NR/NP and confirm throttle position.
Engine Overspeed
Adjust collective to maintain NR/NP and fly to a suitable landing site if able.
Tail Rotor Malfunctions
Establish level flight and verify pedal authority; adjust power and airspeed as necessary.
Electrical Failures
Use standby instruments and land as practical; monitor electrical load and respond accordingly.
Total Electrical Failure
Attempt to restore power and use standby instruments; land as possible.
Summary written by AI from the source document. Check the original before relying on it. See which parts of Sprinkle are written by AI.
Safety notes
- Only checks & procedures in the RFM are approved.
- Monitor PSI for possible decrease in power margin.
- Land as practical in case of engine oil pressure or temperature issues.
- In case of electrical overload, reduce electrical load immediately.
- If unable to maintain level flight due to tail rotor failure, enter autorotation.
- In case of engine fire, land as possible and evacuate the helicopter.
