Fire additional considerations |
The safety of helicopter occupants is the primarily consideration when a fire occurs; therefore it is imperative that every effort be made by the flight crew to put the fire out. On the ground it is essential that the engine be shut down; crew and passengers evacuated and fire fighting begun immediately. If time permits, a "MAYDAY" radio call should be made before the electrical power is turned off to expedite assistance from fire fighting equipment and personnel. If the helicopter is airborne when a fire occurs, the most important single action that can be taken by the pilot is to land the helicopter. |
