NOTE With battery and generator OFF, an 80% charged battery will operate left fuel boost pump and left fuel transfer pump for approximately 1.7 hours (2.8 hours with optional 28 amp-hour battery).
NOTE Pedal stop disengage with loss of electrical power. When throttle is repositioned to the idle stop (during engine shutdown), the PMA will go offline and the engine may flame out.
COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST— HOVERING 1. Close throttle and perform a hovering autorotation landing. A slight rotation can be expected on touchdown.
COMPLETE LOSS OF TAIL ROTOR THRUST— IN-FLIGHT 1. Reduce throttle to idle, immediately enter autorotation and maintain a minimum AIRSPEED of 55 KIAS during descent. Ensure there is no power to the main rotor during the flare.
NOTE When a suitable landing site is not available, vertical fin may permit controlled flight at low power levels and sufficient AIRSPEED. During final stages of approach, a mild flare should be executed, making sure all power to rotor is off. Maintain helicopter in a slight flare and smoothly use collective to execute a soft, slightly nosehigh landing. Landing on aft portion of skids will tend to correct side drift. This technique will, in most cases, result in a run-on type landing. Revision 2.0

BELL 407 ABBREVIATED PILOT CHECKLIST
FIXED PITCH FAILURES Hovering 1. Do not close throttle unless a severe right yaw occurs. If pedals lock in any position at a hover, landing from a hover can be accomplished with greater safety under power-controlled flight rather than by closing throttle and entering autorotation.
In-Flight—Left Pedal Applied 1. In a high power condition, helicopter will yaw to left when power is reduced. Power and AIRSPEED should be adjusted to a value where a comfortable yaw angle can be maintained. If AIRSPEED is increased, vertical fin will become more effective and an increased left yaw attitude will develop. To accomplish landing, establish a power-on approach with sufficiently low AIRSPEED to attain a rate of descent with a comfortable sideslip angle. (A decrease in NP decreases tail rotor thrust.) As collective is increased just before touchdown, left yaw will be reduced.
In-Flight—Right Pedal Applied 1. In cruise flight or reduced power situation, helicopter will yaw to right when power is increased. A low power, run-on type landing will be necessary by gradually reducing throttle to maintain heading while adding collective to cushion landing. If right yaw becomes excessive, close throttle completely.

FADEC MANUAL CHECK Every 150 hours a FADEC Manual Check is required (BHT-407-MM, Chapter 5). The purpose of this check is to ensure the engine responds to throttle movement while in MANUAL mode.
CAUTION Auto to manual transitions with NP/NR at 100% flat pitch will result in rapid NP/NR acceleration in approximately 7 seconds. To avoid possible overspeed condition, perform the FADEC Manual Check with the throttle at idle (63% NG).
NOTE Refer to the Rolls Royce 250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual, Publication CSP 21001 to do the FADEC Manual Check. Prior to positioning the FADEC mode switch to MANUAL for purposes of the check, ensure the throttle is positioned to idle and NG speed is at 63 ±1%.
NOTE The engine idle speed may reduce to the point where the engine out light and horn are activated. To prevent this from occurring, increase throttle as required to maintain 63% NG until the idle speed has stabilized.
NOTE If NG increases to more that 75% N G with throttle positioned in idle detent, maintenance action is required. Refer to the Rolls-Royce 250-C47B Operation and Maintenance Manual.

FADEC MANUAL CHECK (Cont) Once the FADEC mode switch is positioned to MANUAL, the FADEC MANUAL and AUTO RELIGHT lights will illuminate. In addition, the NG speed may change from 63 ±1%. An increase or decrease in N G speed may be noticed. The change in N G speed is due to the fact that the FADEC system is not temperature compensated in reguard to fuel flow in MANUAL mode. Engine load and HMU calibration will also play a part in determining if the NG speed will change. Once NG is stabilized, slowly increase throttle approximately 5 to 10% NG to ensure engine responds and then return throttle to idle position. Position FADEC Mode switch to AUTO and ensure FADEC MANUAL and AUTO RELIGHT light extinguish. Engine should return to a NG speed of 63 ±1%.
ALTERNATE START—AUTO MODE For helicopters that operate at temperatures of approximately 26.6°C (80°F) and above, or at high altitudes and experience a hot start abort event, the start procedure listed below is approved and has been demonstrated to overcome this issue in most instances. For hot and/or high altitude environments, and when prior troubleshooting has not revealed any engine maintenance issues, this procedure can be used to alleviate the possibility of aborted hot starts. With the collective in the full down position and the throttle in CUTOFF, the pilot can initiate the start by pressing the starter switch. This will energize the starter motor and turn on the ignition exciter (continue to hold starter switch). Once N1 has reached approximately 16%, the pilot is to move the throttle from CUTOFF to IDLE. Once throttle is moved to IDLE position, the starter will latch and the starter switch can be released once light off is detected. The engine will detect light off and smoothly accelerate to ground idle while limiting the MGT if necessary.
