approximately 193.1 pounds total
fuel.
Descent and Landing
Large reductions in collective pitch
at heavy GW may permit N R to
increase independent of NP (needles
split). Main rotor may be reengaged
with a smooth increase in collective
pitch.

Adjusted to proper position.
2. Flight controls — Adjust friction as
desired.
