Flying
Shutdown
From the ground run back to a cold aircraft.
- Land, collective fully down, and hold the aircraft still.
- Weapons: de-action everything and set the armament panel to SAFE.
- NVS mode: OFF.
- Power levers: IDLE. Let the engines run at idle for a minute or two so TGT comes down. A hot engine restarted too soon starts hot.
- Power levers: OFF. Ng and Nr run down.
- Rotor brake: BRK once Nr is below 50%. The brake does nothing above that. It stops the rotor in well under a minute; set LOCK to hold it.
- APU: off, if it is running.
- MSTR IGN: OFF. The displays go dark.
- HDU: stow the monocle.
The
ROTOR BRAKE ONadvisory with both levers off is normal. TheRTR BRK ON/LKcaution means a power lever is off its OFF stop with the brake set.
