AW101-SW Merlin Air Ambulance

Air Ambulance version of the Merlin. Retains all features of base version.


Startup/Manual:
The solid bars at the lower edges of main screens are the return buttons.
Engage main & avionic power. Internal defaults on at spawn
Set engines to ‘flight’ and wait for spool up. Rotor RPS is the left meter on the flight display.
Make sure your seat is in control
Take-off

Need-to-know:
- With both power switches off the batteries won’t drain but the doors will still open.
- Start up with all engines if you can, fewer engines = longer spool up
- Flip cross-tie breaker to recharge avionic batteries from the electrical port.
- Refuel pumps must be on to receive fuel - switch in service hatch.
- Idle engine setting will keep all batteries charged so long as radar isn't on
- The internal connection can be used to empty the tanks and feed engines but not fill tanks.
- Aircraft flyable on 2 engines (with reduced performance)

- If you hold a key before switching control, the heli will lurch in that direction unless you let the seat value reset for a bit.
- To fold main rotors, climb handles on the right side, once you’ve figured it out takes ~4 seconds to get up
