4.1.1.3.2 Tail Winds

Moderate to strong tail winds can prevent the exhaust gases from escaping the engine via the

exhaust stack during start-up. For this reason, engine starts should not be performed with a tail

wind of any strength. If you have to do it, monitor the EGT carefully during the start procedure. If

at any time the turbine temperature climbs above the yellow band, be prepared to immediately cut

the fuel and continue to motor the starter until the temperature has decreased sufficiently and

returned to the yellow band.

Hint: The aircraft can be repositioned into the wind by using the “Slew” mode and turned using the

yaw controls, or by changing the heading in the “World->Map” dialog.

4.1.2 Shut-down

The method for shutting down the DodoSim 206 FSX is identical for the two different FCUs:

1. Close throttle to idle stop, but not below – wait for rotor RPM to decay to approx 60% and

stabilise

2. Anti-icing switch to OFF

3. Wait for two minutes for temperatures to stabilise.

Important note: This is mandated at difficulty level 5 only, if damage to the engine is not to

occur.

4. DEPRESS idle release latch and close throttle fully.

5. Directional Gyro switch to OFF

6. Avionics switch to OFF

7. Fuel Valve to CLOSE

8. Generator switch to OFF

9. Position light switch to OFF

10. Aft fuel pump CB to OUT

11. Fore fuel pump CB to OUT

12. Caution lights (annunciator) CB to OUT

13. Generator field CB to OUT

14. Generator reset CB to OUT

15. Pitot heat switch to OFF

16. Hydraulics (control boost) switch to OFF

17. Anti-collision light switch to OFF

18. Master battery switch to OFF
