3.4.1.6.1 Engine Failures

If the engine fails, power output will cease immediately and thrust from the rotor system will be lost.

Combustion will continue so long as fuel is flowing. Since this combustion is taking place in a

critically damaged engine, it is uncontrolled and considered a fire. Flames may be visible from the

exhaust stack and the pilot may perceive a vibration when flying in the 3D virtual cockpit view.

Therefore, in the case of an engine failure, the pilot must either close the fuel valve or close the

throttle past the idle release latch to 0% in order to stop the fuel flow and extinguish the fire. If an

engine failure occurs during flight, the pilot should adopt the auto-rotation procedure and attempt to

land safely.
