This french navy Sikorsky H-34 is an helicopter suited for transport and SAR (Search And Rescue) missions.
Very versatile, its cabin can be fitted with various equipment, allowing it to achieve many different tasks.

The cockpit offer a broad field of view, especially the bottom thanks to its glass doors, open them to have an even better view during low altitude maneuver.

The front can open to access the engine compartment.

If the collective is lowered down to -0.50, the engine will turn to slower mode (0.15 throttle). Useful to save fuel while landed without shutting down the engine. (the slow mode will not maintain a sufficient battery level for immediate take-off)


Follow thoroughly the check-list to get started (at least the first time), this helicopter require tact and skill for the start-up.

Mind your head while exiting the cockpit, otherwise you will do a "Louis XVI" (it's french tradition, but still)

Alarm system

Buzzer

• Beep 1 : Beep when the collective is at -0.01 (hovering threshold)
  
• Warning 1 : Low fuel warning (activate once when fuel level go under 600 litres)
  
• Warning 2 : Loose tail warning (won't activate if clutch = -0.10)
  
• Warning 3 : Low rotor RPM warning (RPM < 2000) (won't activate if collective < -0.19 and clutch = -0.10)

Light signals

• Low battery : the main batterie level is under 0.75
  
• Fuel level : the main tank level is under 600 litres
  
• Loose tail : the tail isn't locked in its flight position
  
• Rotor brake engaged : the rotor brake isn't fully unlocked
  
• Empty reserve : the auxiliary tank is empty

Technical data :

Cockpit

• Permanent double command
  
• Auto hover

• Those values are right for a fully clutched rotor.
  
• If all the circuits are closed (ON), the generator will need to turn at 550 RPM (power 5) minimum to maintain the battery level.
  
• In case of battery charging issues, open the doors breaker (breaker in the cabin).
  The doors will turn off in an open position.
  
• Flight stability will be dangerously deteriorated if the rotor RPM go above 5000.

(especially new paintjob,I want to see them!)
