ROBINSON SECTION 3
R22 SERIES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

SECTION 3

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

DEFINITIONS
Land Immediately - Land on the nearest clear area where
a safe normal landing can be performed. Be prepared to
enter autorotation during approach, if required.
Land as soon as practical - Landing site is at pilot’s
discretion based on nature of problem and available landing
areas. Flight beyond nearest airport is not recommended.

POWER FAILURE - GENERAL


A power failure may be caused by either an engine or
drive system failure and will usually be indicated by the
low RPM horn. An engine failure may be indicated by a
change in noise level, nose left yaw, an oil pressure light,
or decreasing engine RPM. A drive system failure may
be indicated by an unusual noise or vibration, nose right
or left yaw, or decreasing rotor RPM while engine RPM is
increasing.
In case of power failure, immediately lower collective to
enter autorotation.

CAUTION
Aft cyclic is required when collective is
lowered at high speed.

CAUTION
Do not apply aft cyclic during touchdown or
ground slide to prevent possible blade strike
to tailcone.

FAA APPROVED: 21 FEB 2014 3-1


ROBINSON SECTION 3
R22 SERIES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

POWER FAILURE ABOVE 500 FEET AGL


1. Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor RPM.
2. Establish a steady glide at approximately 65 KIAS. (For
maximum glide distance, see page 3-3.)
3. Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 110%
or apply full down collective if light weight prevents
attaining above 97%.
4. Select landing spot and, if altitude permits, maneuver
so landing will be into wind.
5. A restart may be attempted at pilot’s discretion if
sufficient time is available (See “Air Restart Procedure”,
page 3-3).
6. If unable to restart, turn unnecessary switches and fuel
valve off.
7. At about 40 feet AGL, begin cyclic flare to reduce rate
of descent and forward speed.
8. At about 8 feet AGL, apply forward cyclic to level ship and
raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing.
Touch down in level attitude with nose straight ahead.

POWER FAILURE BETWEEN 8 FEET AND 500 FEET AGL


1. Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor RPM.
2. Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 110%
or apply full down collective if light weight prevents
attaining above 97%.
3. Maintain airspeed until ground is approached, then begin
cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward speed.
4. At about 8 feet AGL, apply forward cyclic to level ship and
raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing.
Touch down in level attitude and nose straight ahead.

FAA APPROVED: 21 FEB 2014 3-2


ROBINSON SECTION 3
R22 SERIES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

EMERGENCY WATER LANDING – POWER OFF


1. Follow same procedures as for power failure over land
until contacting water. If time permits, unlatch doors
prior to water contact.
2. Apply lateral cyclic when aircraft contacts water to stop
rotors.
3. Release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when rotors
stop.

EMERGENCY WATER LANDING – POWER ON


1. Descend to hover above water.
2. Unlatch doors.
3. Passenger exit aircraft.
4. Fly to safe distance from passenger to avoid possible
injury by rotors.
5. Switch battery and alternator OFF.
6. Roll throttle off into overtravel spring.
7. Keep aircraft level and apply full collective as aircraft
contacts water.
8. Apply lateral cyclic to stop rotors.
9. Release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when rotors
stop.

FAA APPROVED: 21 FEB 2014 3-4


ROBINSON SECTION 3
R22 SERIES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

WARNING/CAUTION LIGHTS (cont’d)

LOW Indicates approximately one gallon of usable


FUEL fuel remaining for all-aluminum fuel tanks or 1.5
gallons for bladder-style tanks. The engine will
run out of fuel after approximately five minutes
at cruise power for aircraft with all-aluminum
tanks or ten minutes with bladder-style tanks.
CAUTION
Do not use low fuel caution light as
a working indication of fuel quantity.
CLUTCH Indicates clutch actuator circuit is on, either
engaging or disengaging clutch. When switch
is in the ENGAGE position, light stays on until
belts are properly tensioned. Never take off
before light goes out.
NOTE
Clutch light may come on momentarily
during run-up or during flight to
retension belts as they warm-up and
stretch slightly. This is normal. If,
however, the light flickers or comes
on in flight and does not go out within
10 seconds, pull CLUTCH circuit
breaker and land as soon as practical.
Reduce power and land immediately
if there are other indications of drive
system failure (be prepared to enter
autorotation). Inspect drive system
for a possible malfunction.
ALT Indicates low voltage and possible alternator
failure. Turn off nonessential electrical equipment
and switch ALT off and back on after one
second to reset overvoltage relay. If light stays
on, land as soon as practical. Continued flight
without functioning alternator can result in loss of
electronic tachometer, producing a hazardous flight
condition.

FAA APPROVED: 15 FEB 2013 3-9


ROBINSON SECTION 3
R22 SERIES EMERGENCY PROCEDURES

WARNING/CAUTION LIGHTS (cont’d)


BRAKE Indicates rotor brake is engaged. Release
immediately in flight or before starting
engine.

STARTER-ON Indicates starter motor is engaged. If light


does not go out when ignition switch is
released from start position, immediately
pull mixture off and turn battery switch
off. Have starter motor serviced.
GOV-OFF Indicates engine RPM throttle governor is
off.

CARBON Indicates elevated levels of carbon


MONOXIDE monoxide (CO) in cabin. Shut off heater
(if installed) and open nose and door vents. If hovering,
land or transition to forward flight. If
symptoms of CO poisoning (headache,
drowsiness, dizziness) accompany light,
land immediately.
FULL Indicates engine near full throttle. The
THROTTLE governor will be ineffective because it
(if installed) cannot increase throttle to maintain RPM.
Lower collective as required to extinguish
light.

LOW RPM HORN & CAUTION LIGHT


A horn and an illuminated caution light indicate that
rotor RPM may be below safe limits. To restore RPM,
immediately roll throttle on, lower collective and, in
forward flight, apply aft cyclic. The horn and caution light
are disabled when collective is full down.
