#Inspect bubble for cracks
#Inspect landing lights

'''Right Side'''
#Inspect right door for security
#Inspect beacon and front nav lights
#Inspect right skids and struts
#Verify door secure
#Inspect battery and electrical connections
#Inspect primary and auxiliary fuel pumps and fuel lines
#Inspect main drive shaft, belts, fans and condenser
#Inspect vertical drive shaft, centrifugal clutch and sprag clutch
#Inspect steam turbine for integrity
#Inspect boiler for cracks or damage
#Open boiler door, inspect burner, close door
#Open drain valve, verify water flow, close valve
#Inspect whistle
#Verify steam vent closed
#Inspect tail rotor drive shaft

'''Tail Rotor'''
#Inspect horizontal stabilizer for security
#Inspect tail rotor for security
#Inspect tail rotor hub and pitch-change links
#Inspect tail position light for security

'''Left Side'''
#Verify smoke box clear of obstructions
#Inspect feed pump for security and condition
#Inspect throttle and whistle control cables
#Verify water level 75% or higher
#Verify fuel level sufficient for flight.
#Verify fuel color is clear or amber
#Inspect left skids
#Inspect airspeed anemometer
#Inspect left door for security

#Collective – raise slightly, then lower (verify low rpm horn sounds)
#Volts – verify > 9 volts
#Water level – Verify 100%
#Vent valve - open
#Ignitor – on
#Fuel Flow – 5%
#Boiler fire – verify
#Fuel Flow - full
#Boiler Temp. – monitor

'''At 212F Boiler Temp.'''
# <li value='17'> Vent valve – verify steam present
#Wait – 1 min.
#Vent valve - close
#Boiler Press. - monitor

'''At 200 psi Boiler Press.'''
#<li value='21'> Throttle – 5%
#Amps – verify not negative

#Pedals - slight left for torque
#Fuel Flow - apprx. 50%
#Collective - raise until aircraft becomes light
#Pedals - adjust for direction control
#Cyclic - adjust for position
#Fuel Flow - adjust as necessary

=== APPROACH TO LANDING ===

Use the following procedure in an approach to landing:

#Fuel Flow - Adjust to maintain 350 psi

=== AFTER LANDING ===

Use the following procedure after landing:

#Collective - full down
#Cyclic - center
#Pedals - center
#Fuel Flow - Adjust to maintain 350 psi

=== SHUT DOWN ===
Use the following procedure to shut down the engine:
#Controls – neutral
#Collective – full down
#Governor – off
#Throttle – decrease to 2000 RPM
#Fuel Flow – cutoff
#Ignitor – off
#Rotor brake – on (when below 200 RPM)
#Switches (Bat., Gen., Fuel/Feed Pumps) – off
