SECTION 7. EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

1 General

This section describes the most common helicopter emergencies that may be encountered in the H-160, and the appropriate actions to address those emergencies.

2 Definitions

The following terms apply for this section:

  1. The term LAND IMMEDIATELY is defined as a landing without hesitation to any landing surface. Survival of the occupants is considered the highest priority.
  2. The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is defined as a landing to the nearest suitable landing surface. Survival of the occupants is considered the highest priority.
  3. The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICAL means land at the nearest suitable airfield or heliport.
  4. The term AUTOROTATE means adjusting the controls to establish an autorotation and landing. This generally means thrust control full down, then adjust as necessary to maintain 100% rotor RPM.
