Ex. 18-Autorotations. Aim. To determine that, in the event of an engine failure, the candidate has the ability to make a safe autorotational approach and landing to a suitable landing area.... Landing or Power Recovery to the Hover/Hover-Taxi. Description. The candidate will be required to carry out two types of autorotational approaches, one of which will include a 180 degree turn. The exercise will be initiated above ground that has previously been assessed as suitable for practice autorotation landings. The autorotation will be commenced from cruise at a safe height, but in no instance lower than 500 feet above ground. The approaches will terminate at the discretion of the examiner, in either a landing, or a power recovery to the hover/hover-taxi. 1, record 4, English, - power%20recovery%20to%20the%20hover%2Dtaxi

Two single engine second segment climb pressure switches are provided to shut down both air-conditioning systems at any altitude in the event of engine failure, provided the air-conditioning supply switch is in the armed position. Second segment climb/starts at the time the landing gear is fully retracted and continues until the airplane reaches an altitude of at least 400 feet above the runway. The system is normally energized prior to takeoff and deenergized after airplane climb is complete. 2, record 5, English, - second%20stage%20segment%20climb%20switch
