Section 2 Normal Procedures

SECTION 2 NORMAL PROCEDURES


GENERAL
The following procedures are the result of extensive flight tests and experience with the A109S aircraft. They are intended to ensure that the level of safety established by the design and certification process is achieved. This section contains instructions and procedures for operating the helicopter from the planning stage, through actual flight conditions, to securing the helicopter after landing. Normal and standard conditions are assumed in these procedures. Pertinent data in other sections is referenced when applicable. The instructions and procedures contained herein are written for the purpose of standardization and are not applicable to all situations. The minimum and maximum limits, and the normal and cautionary operating ranges for the helicopter and its subsystems are indicated by instrument markings and placards. Refer to Section 1 for details of the operating limitations. Each time an operating limitation is exceeded, a malfunction or an emergency occurs, an appropriate entry shall be made in the logbook (airframe, engine, etc.). The entry shall state which limit was exceeded, the duration of time, the extreme value attained, and any additional information essential in determining the maintenance action required. As an aid to this task, the IDS software includes logs of limit exceedance data, fault data, and caution and warning signals which are stored in a Non-Volatile Memory for subsequent retrieval.

FLIGHT PLANNING
Each flight must be planned adequately to ensure safe operations and to provide the pilot with the data to be used during the flight. Essential weight and balance, and performance information should be compiled as follows: - Check type of mission to be performed and destination. - Select appropriate performance charts to be used form Section 4. - Review the appropriate Supplements of this Rotorcraft Flight Manual for the optional equipment installed. Ascertain proper weight and balance of the helicopter as follows: - Consult Section 6 - Weight and Balance; - Ascertain weight of fuel, oil, payload, etc; - Compute take-off and anticipated landing gross weights; - Check helicopter center of gravity (CG) locations; - Check that the weight and CG limitations in Section 1 are not exceeded during the flight.

EXTERNAL PREFLIGHT CHECKS


GENERAL Preflight checks are intended as those checks to be performed by the pilot in order to ascertain that the helicopter is flightworthy and adequately equipped. Note All checks are to be carried out before the first flight of the day. Checks in blue may be omitted if the AIRWORTHINESS CHECK has been performed as per Maintenance Manual. Furthermore, checks marked with an are required before each flight.

The inspection commences at the nose and continues clockwise around the helicopter. During the inspection, check that there are no leaks from overboard drains, that all vents, air intakes and air outlets are clear of obstructions, and all access panels and antennas are secure.

FLIGHT HANDLING CHARACTERISTICS


Handling is conventional in normal forward, sidewards and rearwards flight manoeuvres. Flight controls forces may be adjusted by applying friction. ENGINE LIMIT GOVERNING The helicopter is provided with an engine torque limiter function aimed at reducing pilots workload. However, it is still the pilots responsibility to operate and maintain helicopter within engine and transmission limits. The torque limiter can be enabled, upon pilots decision, by pressing once the LIM pushbutton on the collective grip. Disabling the torque limiter is obtained by pressing again the LIM pushbutton. At helicopter power-up, the torque limiter is disabled by default, and the ECU will not prevent the pilot from exceeding the applicable limits. With the torque limiter disabled, the ECU controls the engine torque according to the following values: AEO: OEI: Torque (TRQ1 + TRQ2) Torque 324% 180%

When the LIM pushbutton is depressed (LIMITER ON advisory message displayed), the torque limiter is enabled and the ECU will prevent the pilot from exceeding the following applicable limits: AEO: OEI: Torque (TRQ1 + TRQ2) Torque 220% 162%

Note Regardless of torque limiter status, N1 and TOT always remain limited at 103% and 970 C respectively.

CLIMB SPEED The climb speed recommended is the best climb speed of the helicopter, Vy. Vy is 75 KIAS up to 10,000 ft, and then decreases by 2 kts every 1,000 ft to become 55 KIAS at 20,000 ft. AUTOROTATIVE DESCENT 1. 2. 3. 4. Maintain speed to within the Vne Power-OFF/OEI envelope. Reduce collective to enter autorotation. Adjust collective to maintain NR within appropriate limits. Adjust attitude to obtain desired speed: - Maximum range is obtained at approximately 120 KIAS and minimum NR. - Minimum rate of descent is obtained at Vy and minimum NR. - Maximum rate of descent is obtained at Vne Power-OFF and maximum NR. 5. To recover to powered flight, increase collective pitch until freewheels are joined and finally, increase power to stop the rate of descent.

STEEP APPROACHES AND VERTICAL DESCENT MANOEUVRES Low speed steep approaches (up to 20 kts) and vertical descent manoeuvres should be performed with a rate of descent not exceeding 900 ft/min.

Section 3 Emergency and Malfunction Procedures

SECTION 3 EMERGENCY AND MALFUNCTION PROCEDURES

GENERAL
This section contains the procedures that must be performed in the event of an emergency or malfunction. These procedures are based on experience acquired in the operation of helicopters, in general, and on flight tests conducted on this particular model of helicopter. The procedures used in each actual emergency or malfunction must result from consideration of the complete situation. Multiple emergencies or malfunctions may require a departure from normal corrective procedures detailed in this section. All corrective action procedures listed herein assume the pilot gives first priority to aircraft control and safe flight path.

PROCEDURES LOGIC The majority of the Emergency and Malfunction procedures that follow are presented in the form of logic trees (flow charts). These flow charts have been formulated based on analysis and test of the cockpit indications that would be available to the flight crew following the failures/ malfunctions that are included in this section. For complex failures/ malfunctions, cockpit indications coupled with the answers to Yes/No type questions (as indicated on the charts) should enable the flight crew to analyze the type of failure/malfunction that has occurred, the branch of the tree that should be followed and the corrective action that should be taken.

Section 3 Emergency and Malfunction Procedures

A109S RFM Document N109G0040A013

In order to analyze some types of failures/malfunctions, answers to +, IF, AND and OR statements may be required. In these cases, the statements are presented in bold text (+, IF, AND, OR), as an attention getting device. It is emphasized that attention should be paid to this symbology to avoid a mistake in the emergency/malfunction analysis and subsequent incorrect crew action. Required crew actions are typed in bold.

DEFINITIONS
SAFE OEI FLIGHT In general, safe OEI flight is defined to mean flight with one engine inoperative and: 1. 2. 3. a sustainable airspeed of not less than 45 KIAS, the ability to obtain a positive rate of climb at acceptable power levels and an altitude which provides sufficient clearance from the ground / obstacles / clouds so that required manoeuvring can be reasonably achieved.

EMERGENCY LANDING GUIDANCE Throughout this Section, three terms are used to indicate the degree of urgency with which a landing must be effected. In cases where extremely hazardous landing conditions exist such as dense bush, heavy seas or mountainous terrain, the final decision as to the urgency of landing must be made by the pilot. 1. Land immediately: Land at once, even if it means ditching. Landing is the highest priority. The primary consideration is to assure the survival of the occupants. The consequences of continued flight are likely to be more hazardous than those of landing at a site normally considered unsuitable.

Section 3 Emergency and Malfunction Procedures

2. Land as soon as possible: Do not continue flight for longer than is necessary to achieve a safe and unhurried landing at the nearest site. 3. Land as soon as practicable: Land at the nearest aviation location or, if there is none reasonably close, at a safe landing site selected for subsequent convenience. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area is not recommended.

PILOT ALERTNESS LEVEL The level of alertness required by the pilot(s) is a function of the flight regime. Throughout this Section, the following terms are used: 1. Fly Attentive: Pilot to maintain close control of the flight path using hands-on when required. Pilot directly controls the flight path using hands-on.

2. Fly Manually:

CREW ALERTING SYSTEM


The Crew Alerting System (CAS) is a dedicated window in the lower portion of the EDU, Ref. Figure 3-1 . Many of the emergencies described in this section are indicated by the illumination of red CAS warning messages on EDU1 and with the flashing of the red Master Warning Light (MWL), Ref. Figure 3-2 , or by the illumination of yellow CAS caution messages on EDU1 with the flashing of the amber Master Caution Light (MCL), Ref. Figure 3-2 .

The red warnings are accompanied by an audio tone and, usually, a voice warning and can be acknowledged by pressing the flashing red MWL (on the cockpit) or the Master Reset pushbutton (on the collective grip). By cancelling the flashing red MWL, the aural and vocal warnings are also cancelled and the light is reset for future indication. The amber Master Caution Light can be acknowledged by pressing the flashing amber MCL (on the cockpit) or the Master Reset pushbutton (on the collective grip). By cancelling the flashing amber MCL, the light is reset for future indication. Green advisory and cyan status / maintenance messages are also presented on the CAS system. Refer to Section 2 for more details. The EDUs present a specific area partitioned in three columns, each one capable of displaying up to 3 lines of 14 characters each, for warning, caution, advisory and status messages. The display of the messages uses the following prioritization: Priority 1: Warnings (red) Priority 2: Cautions (yellow) Priority 3: Advisory messages (green) Priority 4: Status / Maintenance messages (cyan)

The last-in message is always displayed on top of the relative column on the dedicated screen area, and displaces the list down. When messages are listed on more pages, the scroll function can be activated through the rocker switch with vertical arrows positioned on the right side of the EDU control panel. Warning and Caution messages remain displayed until the cause of the condition has been corrected.

USING THE CAS WARNING AND CAUTION SYSTEM Whenever a warning or caution illuminates, appropriate actions should be taken to deal with the indicated emergency or malfunction. Whenever convenient, the MWL and/or the MCL must be reset for possible future warnings or cautions, by pressing on them or the Master Reset pushbutton (on the collective grip). In this section, the following convention is used:

A WARNING

- A CAS RED WARNING

A CAUTION

ENGINE FAILURE
GENERAL In the event of partial or complete power failure, the establishment of a safe flight condition is the prime consideration, until the cause of the failure can be analyzed. Care should be taken in confirming the failed engine prior to commencing engine shutdown as given in the ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN AN EMERGENCY procedure. ENGINE FAILURE RECOGNITION The following cues will be available to the crew following a single or double engine failure: Illumination of the MWL and CAS Warning ENG 1(2) OUT caption. An audio tone and an ENGINE 1(2) OUT voice warning (activated when N1 < 35%). The failed engine TRQ will split significantly from the live engine TRQ. Dependent on collective position at the time of the failure(s), a drop in rotor speed (NR) may occur, accompanied by a yawing tendency. SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE A single engine failure will result in an increase in TRQ on the live engine. Depending on collective position and flight condition at the time of the failure, a drop in rotor speed (NR) may occur requiring a collective pitch adjustment in order to maintain rotor speed within limits. If the execution of the ENGINE FAILURE procedure has resulted in shutting down the engine, consider analyzing the cause of the failure with a view toward re-starting the engine. To attempt the re-start use the ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT procedure.

DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE A sequential or simultaneous failure of both engines will require an immediate entry into autorotation. ENTRY IN AUTOROTATION Depending on collective pitch and flight condition at the time of the failures, a simultaneous engine failure will result in a large and very rapid drop in rotor speed (NR) requiring a large and rapid collective pitch adjustment in order to recover and maintain rotor speed within limits. It is imperative that these adjustment be made quickly and decisively. If the failure occurs at considerable height above ground level (AGL), it is possible that sufficient time will be available for attempting an engine re-start (assuming that the cause of the failure can be rapidly analyzed). If time and conditions permits, carry out the ENGINE SHUTDOWN IN AN EMERGENCY procedure while the helicopter is manoeuvred toward the landing area. If sufficient additional time is available to attempt an engine re-start, refer to the ENGINE RESTART IN FLIGHT procedure.

TRANSMISSION SYSTEM FAILURES


The most common transmission system (main and tail rotor gearbox) failures are of three general types: 1. 2. 3. Lubrication system failure (oil pump, ducts, nozzles, etc) Transmission component failure (gears, bearings, etc) Accessory component failure (coolers, etc)

The main gearbox is monitored with oil pressure and oil temperature indicators and chip detectors, whilst the tail rotor gearbox is monitored with chip detectors. These indicators and chip detectors, as well as the CAS Warning and Caution messages inform the pilot of operating condition of the system. It is probable that one or more of these indications will be present if a mechanical transmission failure is imminent. However, whether these indications are present or not, crew sensory perceptions such as: - abnormal mechanical noise and/or - heavy vibration levels and/or - the odour of hot metal fumes all play an important part in the diagnosis of impending transmission system failures and assist the pilot in determining what actions are required. In general a single failure indication dictates that the helicopter Land as soon as practicable, while a double failure dictates Land as soon as possible. If multiple failure indication, including abnormal noise and/or vibration are present LAND IMMEDIATELY.

WARNING If a seizure occurs in the aircraft controls systems, greater forces will be required to operate the controls. A reduction in the available control ranges may result and, in this situation, the low speed flight envelope may be restricted. Note If the seizure occurred at an airspeed greater than 25 KIAS, the aircraft should be landed into the wind as soon as practicable using a running landing procedure and a touchdown speed of approximately 25 KIAS. If the airspeed is less than 25 KIAS, carry out a running landing at the speed at which the seizure occurred. If the aircraft is in a hover, land vertically.

TAIL ROTOR SYSTEM FAILURES


GENERAL Tail rotor emergencies may be divided into three major categories: 1. Tail Rotor Drive failure: - Tail rotor drive failure in hover - Tail rotor drive failure in powered flight - Tail rotor drive failure in low power or power-off. 2. Tail Rotor Control failure: - Tail rotor control failure in hover - Tail rotor control failure in forward flight. 3. Tail Rotor Control Seizure: - Tail rotor control seizure in hover - Tail rotor control seizure in forward flight. Controllability Check Controllability check consists in a slow, progressive and cautious cyclic and collective manoeuver in level flight aimed at determining the lowest airspeed at which the helicopter directional control can be maintained with the correct power setting. This airspeed should be recorded, and used as a minimum speed for touchdown. Touchdown Run-on landings and autorotation landings shall always be carried out nose wheel locked and park brake off. Wheel brakes should be applied to slow down the helicopter only after the collective has been lowered to minimum pitch.

Section 3 Emergency and Malfunction Procedures

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE A tail rotor drive failure is a situation that involves a disconnect in the drive system, such as a severed drive shaft, wherein the tail rotor stops turning and thus delivers no thrust. This failure may be accompanied by noise, vibration or oscillation in the tail section. The severity of the initial reaction, which is a sudden yaw rate, will be determined by the airspeed, altitude, gross weight, center of gravity and torque settings at the time that the failure occurs. The vertical fin produces an aerodynamic anti-torque component which is a function of forward speed. Fin effectiveness increases with higher airspeeds. The resulting undemanded yaw due to a tail rotor drive failure, depends on the flight condition at the time of the failure. Three cases are to be distinguished: - Tail rotor drive failure in hover. - Tail rotor drive failure in powered flight. - Tail rotor drive failure in low power or power-off. However in all three cases the following indications are present and determine a definite tail rotor drive failure: - Attempt to maintain flight condition, may require unusual pedal position. - Pedal input does NOT produce any sustained aircraft response. - Possible noise and vibration from the aft fuselage area. Although there might be some helicopter behaviour differences, the general procedure to bring the helicopter to a safe landing are basically the same in all flight conditions. Following a tail rotor drive failure, safe landing can be achieved almost solely in autorotation. Even though in some circumstances, powered flight can be maintained or re-established through a correct combination of airspeed and power setting, autorotation must always be reentered for a safe landing. CAUTION Powered run-on landing should not be attempted as airspeed required to maintain directional control is too high compared with landing gear limitations.

Tail rotor drive failure in powered flight Further to the general indications of a drive failure, the helicopter will exhibit symptoms that will differ depending on the combination of airspeed, power setting, density altitude, gross weight and rotor speed. A possible behaviour is an undemanded yaw rate oscillating or rapidly diverging.

Note If run-on landing is not possible, decision should be made to zero out forward speed and accept the yaw rate.

Tail rotor drive failure in low power or power-off Depending on speed and torque applied, loss of thrust on the tail rotor may cause either LEFT or RIGHT yaw rate. Two cases are thus possible: 1. 2. Development of left yaw, typically coupled with a left roll. Development of right yaw, typically coupled with a right roll and a pitch down attitude.

Note In a low power descent or in autorotation, a tail rotor drive failure could cause the helicopter to yaw left because of the aerodynamics forces produced by the vertical fin.

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE


The indications of a tail rotor control failures are: - Undemanded yaw to the left or to the right. - Loss of yaw control: Pedals are free but ineffective or partially effective.

In the event of a control rod separation in the tail rotor system, between the pedals and the hydraulic servo actuator, the T/R pitch should remain at the last value retained by the hydraulic servo actuator before the failure. In the event of a failure between the hydraulic servo actuator output and the tail rotor, the T/R pitch will be reduced to a value that will produce little or no thrust at all. Once control of the helicopter is regained, if time and conditions permit, a controllability check at safe altitude should be performed. Tail rotor control failure in hover

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL SEIZURE

Tail rotor control seizure is characterised by locked pedals. Depending on power setting and airspeed combination, failure may not be detected until parameters are changed or until directional control application is required. The indications of a control seizure is provided by: - Pedals seized or excessive force required. If the pedals cannot be moved with a moderate effort, a control linkage fouling can be suspected.

CAUTION If pedals cannot be moved with a moderate amount of force, DO NOT ATTEMPT TO APPLY MAXIMUM EFFORT, since a more serious malfunction could result. Note When conditions permit, a run-on landing should be planned, preferably on a flat strip/ runway, in order to minimise loss of directional control and avoid tipping over upon touchdown. If a run-on landing is not possible, forward speed can be nearly zeroed by increasing the flare amplitude and duration. Landing will have to be sustained while rotating since a yaw rate will develop.

ENGINE MALFUNCTIONS
COMPRESSOR STALL A compressor stall is normally recognized by an audible bang or pop accompanied by a possible increase in TOT and fluctuating N1 and TRQ. The compressor stall may be transient or steady. The degree of compressor stall may be indicated by one or all of the following: Fluctuating N1 speed coupled with failure to respond to power demand. Loud banging or popping noises (similar to back-firing). A reduction in torque (due to reduced air flow through the engine). A rapid increase in TOT (due to mis-matching between fuel flow and N1 speed).

STABILITY AUGMENTATION SYSTEM MALFUNCTION

CAUTION With the Flight Director coupled, following a single SAS failure or ATT mode failure, the AUTOTRIM function is inoperative. Without the Flight Director coupled, the AUTOTRIM function is always inoperative. In these conditions, the pilot is recommended to fly checking the API position or fly decoupled, due to the reduced system authority. Note HELIPILOT indicators normally refer to SAS 1. Turning SAS 1 off, HELIPILOT indicators will automatically switch to SAS 2.
