HYDRAULICS CHECK
NOTE
The Hydraulics Systems Check is to

Collective — Check for normal operations by
increasing collective control slightly (1 to
2 inches). Repeat two to three times as
required. Return to full down position.
Pedals (if hydraulically boosted) — Displace
slightly left and right. Note an increase in
force required to move pedal in each

Maximum pressure altitude is 20,000 feet.
DESCENT AND LANDING
CAUTION
DURING SLOPE LANDINGS,
CONDITIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT

Flight Controls — Adjust friction as desired.
Throttle — Full open.
Power turbine RPM (N2) — 97 to 100%.
NOTE
Decreasing the collective pitch into
the low power realm may result in a
RPM overspeed condition. For
prolonged low power approaches,
the RPM can be controlled by a small
amount of collective pitch increase

POSTFLIGHT HYDRAULICS CHECK
NOTE
The Hydraulics Systems Check is to
determine proper operation of
