EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
ONBOARD FIRE

1. Fire in the power plant compartment is indicated by:

1.1. Illumination and flashing of the Master Warning Light (MWL) and
the Fire light on the instrument panel will light.
1.2. Voice Message Unit (VMU) message about fire in one of the
compartments.
1.3. Illumination of the wall panel (fire extinguishing system) red fire
lights. Each light is labeled according to the compartment where a fire has
been detected: “Left engine fire”, “APU fire”, “Right engine fire” and “Oil
cooling fan fire”.
2. Check for the illumination of the yellow light “1” on the wall panel.
2.1. If the automatic system inop, engage it manually by selecting the
corresponding button underneath the “Left engine fire”, “APU fire”,
“Right engine fire”, or “Oil cooling fan fire” warning light.
3. Shutdown affected engine or APU.
4. Confirm the fire has been extinguished (FIRE light no longer
illuminated)
5. If Fire light still illuminated….
5.1. Discharge the 2nd sequence by switching the “First – Second
extinguishers” selector on the wall panel to the “Second” position
5.2. Press the corresponding button under the light that is indicating a
fire.
5.3. The yellow “2” light will illuminate, indicating the discharge of the 2nd
extinguisher.
6. If unsuccessful land if possible of EJECT.

IN-FLIGHT ENGINE START-UP

1. Start the APU.

2. Set the throttle control lever of the engine to be re-started to the idle
position.
3. Move the engine cut-off valve to the closed position.
4. From the Engine and APU Start-up Control panel, select the desired
engine to re-start with the Engine / APU select switch.
5. From the Engine and APU Start-up panel, select the Start-Up position
from the Start-up mode switch.

TOC

3 MAY 2012 CHANGE 1 13

 TO 1KA-50-75CL-1

6. From the Engine and APU Start-up panel, press and release the Start-
Up button.
7. When the Ngg value is greater than 10%, move the engine cut-off
valve lever to the Open position.
8. Allow the engine to run for one minute and then move the throttle
control lever to the Auto position.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN FLIGHT

1. Decrease collective pitch to avoid rotor RPM less than 85%.

2. Check the instruments to identify which engine has failed and close
its cut-off and shut-off valves.
3. Set airspeed to 110 to 120 km/h and move the throttle control lever of
the still operating engine up to FULL mode position to regain the rotor
RPM.
4. Make sure there’s no fire aboard the helicopter.
5. Open the fuel cross-feed valve.
6. Make sure the remaining engine is operating normally and that the
helicopter is able to maintain horizontal flight and maintain altitude.
7. Land as soon as possible.

SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER

1. Rapidly decrease collective pitch to 2 to 3° while simultaneously

pushing forward the cyclic to set a -20 to -25° pitch angle on dive.
2. At altitude of 3 to 5 m, rapidly increase collective pitch up to ¾ of the
full range and perform a “hop up” (fast pitch up) to decrease the vertical
speed and then set a landing pitch angle with the cyclic.
3. If possible, land the helicopter on the main wheels and avoid any
lateral movement.
4. Fully reduce collective pitch.
5. Do not counter the lowering of the nose with the cyclic.

In case of an engine failure at the top of the danger zone or higher, the
excessive altitude ensures forward acceleration of the helicopter.

1. Rapidly decrease the collective pitch by 1/3 of the full range while
simultaneously pushing forward on the cyclic to set a -20 to -25° pitch
angle dive.
2. Upon reaching 40 to 50 km/h IAS, begin the transition to horizontal
flight. TOC

3 MAY 2012 CHANGE 1 14

 TO 1KA-50-75CL-1

3. Close the cut-off and shut-off valves of the failed engine.

4. Achieve 110 to 120 km/h IAS in horizontal flight
5. Land as soon as possible.

DUEL ENGINE FAILURE IN HOVER

1. Rapidly decrease collective pitch to approximately half of its initial

(current) value.
2. At an altitude of 5 to 7 m, rapidly increase collective pitch to
maximum (do a “hop-up”) to decrease vertical speed.
3. Land on the main wheels followed by the nose wheel.
4. Quickly lower the collective full down after touchdown.
5. Close the cut-off and shut-off valves to both engines.
6. Turn off all electric power.

IN-FLIGHT DUEL ENGINE FAILURE

1. Rapidly decrease the collective pitch to minimum to maintain rotor

RPM.
2. With the cyclic, set the required airspeed for autorotation 100 to 180
km/h.
3. Close the cut-off and shut-off valves to the engines.
4. Jettison all external payload.
5. Trim the controls.
6. Extend the landing gear.
7. Land; against the wind if possible.

AUTOROTATION LANDING

1. Bring the helicopter to a level altitude of 30 m and an airspeed of 100

to 120 km/h.
2. From 30 m altitude, initiate the leveling by vigorously pulling back on
the cyclic and set a +25° pitch angle followed by a rapid increase of
collective pitch to 2/3 of the full range. Maintain the pitch angle until full
stop or an altitude of no less than 3 m.
3. At an altitude of 3 m, rapidly push forward on the cyclic to set landing
pitch angle and estimate the moment for a “hop-up” (rapid increase of
collective pitch to maximum).
4. Land on the main wheels and prevent a vigorous lowering of the nose
by pulling back on the cyclic.
TOC
3 MAY 2012 CHANGE 1 15
 TO 1KA-50-75CL-1

5. After nose wheel touchdown, move the cyclic to neutral and

decrease the collective pitch to minimum. If necessary use the wheel
brakes.

ROLLING SINGLE ENGINE LANDING

1. Descend to the estimated point at an airspeed of 100 to 120 km/h.

2. Starting from an altitude of 50 m, use ground references to visually
gauge and control altitude.
3. At an altitude of 30 m, start leveling the helicopter by pulling back on
the cyclic and estimate the landing point to coincide with an altitude of 0.5
to 1 m.
4. Maintain landing pitch angle to ensure a smooth landing on the main
wheels with a forward speed of between 30 and 40 km/h.
5. Smoothly decrease collective to minimum.
6. Try not to counter the lowering of the nose with the cyclic stick.

VORTEX RING STATE

An uncontrollable increase of the descent rate and loss of control during
vertical descent at airspeeds less than 50 km/h.
1. Rapidly decrease collective pitch (about 1/3 of total range) while
simultaneously pushing forward the cyclic to set a -20 to 25° dive pitch
angle.
2. Upon gaining forward speed more than 50 km/h, level the helicopter
off in horizontal flight.
