CHAPTER 9
EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
SECTION I. HELICOPTER SYSTEMS
9-1-1. Helicopter Systems.
This section describes helicopter systems emergencies
which ,may reasonably be expected to occur and presents
the procedures to be followed. Emergency operation
of mission equipment is contained in this chapter,
insofar as its use affect safety of flight. Emergency procedures
are given in checklist form when applicable. A
condensed version of these procedures is included in TM
55-1520–240-10-CL. Refer to figure 9-1-1 and 9-1-2 for
emergency equipment, exits, and entrance.
9-1-2. Immediate Action Emergency Checks.
NOTE
The urgency of certain emergencies requires
immediate and instinctive action by the pilot.
The most important single consideration is
helicopter control. All other procedures are
subordinate to this requirement. The MASTER
CAUTION should be reset after each
malfunction to allow systems to respond to
subsequent malfunctions. When appropriate,
a check of the affected PDP for open circuit
breakers should be accomplished, in some
cases this may minimize or eliminate the emergency.
An example of this would be an apparent
failure of an instrument, whereas resetting
the circuit breaker restores operation.
If time permits during a critical emergency,
jettison external loads, and lock shoulder harnesses.
Those steps that must be performed immediately in an
emergency procedure are underlined. These steps
must be performed without reference to the checklist
(CL). When the situation permits, non–underlined steps
will be accomplished with the use of the CL.
9-1-3. Definition of Emergency Terms.
For the purpose of standardization, the following
definitions shall apply:
a. The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is
defined as executing a landing to the nearest suitable
landing area. (e.g., open field) without delay. ( the
primary consideration is to assure the survival of
occupants.)
b. The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE is
defined as executing a landing at the nearest suitable
airfield/heliport.
c. The term AUTOROTATE is defined as adjusting
the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational
descent and landing.
