Before Engine Start
This section outlines the necessary checks to be completed before starting the engine, including ensuring the fuel shut-off valve is ON, circuit breakers are IN, and controls are free and full travel. It also emphasizes the importance of securing the cabin and baggage, completing a passenger briefing, and checking the mass and balance.
Engine Start
The engine start procedures include turning on the master battery, ensuring the area is clear, and priming the throttle appropriately. The checklist specifies the steps for starting the engine, including monitoring oil pressure and ensuring the blades are turning within 5 seconds.
Engine Runup
During the engine run-up, pilots must check T's and P's (temperature and pressure), perform a magneto check, and verify that the low RPM horn and light are functioning correctly. The checklist provides specific RPM settings and checks to ensure the helicopter is ready for flight.
Shutdown Procedures
The shutdown section details the steps to safely shut down the helicopter, including reducing RPM for cooling, disengaging the clutch, and ensuring all switches are turned off. It also includes a timing element for the landing light and checks for the clutch light.
Safety notes
- Only checks and procedures in the POH are approved.
- Ensure area is clear of traffic before starting the engine.
