Establish steady autorotation 2. Starting selector OFF 3. Generator - OFF 4. Carry out normal starting procedure SMOKE IN THE CABIN • Source of smoke identified 1. Shut off the corresponding system 2. If necessary use fire extinguisher 3. Air the cabin • Source of smoke not identified 1. Shut off heating/demisting system 2. Switch off “EMER SHED” , GENE OFF, AVIONICS OFF 3. When smell has disappeared, set all switches to “OFF” 4. Reset battery switch to “ON” 5. Switch on generator, check voltage 6. Switch on circuits one by one until malfunction is identified or land as soon as possible NB: VEMD will goes out during procedure -> refer to VEMD failure YAW SERVO CONTROL MALFUNCTION (BLOCKED PEDALS) • Hover 1. If no yaw – land normally 2. If helicopter is yawing – hydraulic switch on collective OFF • Forward flight 1. Reduce speed 2. Hydraulic switch on collective - OFF 3. Perform run-on landing if necessary TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE • Complete Loss of Thrust - OGE 1. Enter autorotation – maintain 65 kt IAS 2. Shut down engine • Complete Loss of Thrust - IGE 1. Reduce collective before yaw rate is too high • Fixed Pitch Failure 1. Set IAS to 70 kt in level flight 2. Press hydraulic push-button for 5 seconds 3. Make shallow approach with run-on landing ENGINE OIL TEMPERATURE HIGHER THAN MAX • At Low Speed or in Hover 1. Land if possible 2. Shut down engine 3. Check that cooler fan is operating If landing is impossible 1. Increase speed and reduce power 2. Fly at approximately 80 kt – temperature should fall rapidly 3. Check Engine pressure 3. If cooling can not be obtained – land as soon as possible • In Cruise Flight 1. Reduce power 2. Proceed as above (A) NG INDICATOR FAILURE In the event of an NG indicator failure, do not exceed the maximum authorized TRQ and 842 °C TOT value limits NB: in this case, maximum TOT displayed is starting limitations TORQUEMETER FAILURE In the event of a torquemeter failure, do not allow the engine speed to rise above the following limits: T4 INDICATOR FAILURE 1. Comply with the N1 and TRQ limitations 3. Switch off heating and demisting 2. Do not attempt to start the engine VEMD FAILURE One screen failure: OFF 1 or OFF 2 according to failure Information will be switch automatically to the not affected screen.
