3.1 GENERAL
Emergency procedures describe the actions that the pilot must take relative
to the various possible failures that can occur.
Meanwhile, depending on the many variable external environment, such as
the type of terrain overflown, the pilot may have to adapt to the situation
according to his experience.
To help the pilot in his decision process, four recommendations are used :
LAND IMMEDIATELY
Self explanatory.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Emergency conditions are urgent and require landing at the nearest
landing site at which a safe landing can be made.
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
Emergency conditions are less urgent and in the pilot's judgement, he may
proceed to the nearest airfield where he can expect appropriate assistance.
CONTINUE FLIGHT
Continue flight as planned. Repair at the destination according to the
maintenance manual.
NOTE
Immediate actions that the pilot shall take are written in bold characters.

4.5 CLIMB
Above 100 ft (30 m), for maximum climb performance, select Maximum
Continuous Power and optimum climbing speed (Vy) :
IAS = 65 kt (120 km/h) - 1 kt per 1000 ft.
4.6 CRUISE
Fast cruise is obtained by the first limitation reached corresponding to the
beginning of the FLI amber area :
Corresponding mechanical or engine limit (Tq, Ng, T4) are pointed out with
underlined numerical value.
Economic cruise : refer to SECTION 5 "Performances Data" (Not approved).
Reduce indicated airspeed in turbulence.
4.7 APPROACH AND LANDING

4.9 EXTREME WEATHER OPERATIONS
4.9.1 HIGH WIND OPERATION (WIND ABOVE 30 KT)
Parking
- Park the helicopter head into the wind. Maintain rotor brake
applied with one blade at 12 oclock. Keep blade socks until start
up.
- For wind above 40 kt (74 km/h) the helicopter must be tied down.
Start up
- When the rotor begins to turn, put little cyclic stick into wind.
- As soon as Ng > 67 % :
Twist grip............................... FLIGHT detent.
Run up check
- Perform the hydraulic checks with the twist grip in FLIGHT detent
and NR at nominal speed.
Engine and rotor shutdown
- Perform engine oil cooling with twist grip in FLIGHT detent.
NOTE
