jetstorm96 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Dear all, We recently had an issue when switching to Autopilot / copilot in the UH-1H - the aircraft ended up burning the engine out and crashing. It appears that the AI in this case are not aware of the EGT limitations - even though they were flying straight and level. I have not done further testing but was wondering if this is actually an issue? Has this occurred to anyone else? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frederf Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 Yes, happened to me. The copilot routine is not at all smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fencible Posted August 23, 2018 Share Posted August 23, 2018 Yes, I was noticing that my co-pilot was exceeding EGT green limit, so I took control again and backed off the collective a bit. When I switch back to co-pilot EGT temperature stays within safe zone. If you watch the controls and gauges when co-pilot is flying you can see fluctuations caused by control deflections. You have to setup collective so that it is low enough to stay within safe zone at highest excursions of the co-pilot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandman1330 Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 It’s realistic. I have to stop my real copilots from overtorquing or overtemping all the frickin time. :lol: But all joking aside, it is a problem that goes way back, but that was merely a nuisance before the EGT limits came in.
