ebabil Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 can you explain this feature basically? when do we need to use this? should we use this in normal flight conditions?

SilentGun Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 You would use it when the RPM is to high which is hardly ever the case Link to my Imgur screenshots and motto http://imgur.com/a/Gt7dF One day in DCS... Vipers will fly along side Tomcats... Bugs with Superbugs, Tiffy's with Tornado's, Fulcrums with Flankers and Mirage with Rafales... :)The Future of DCS is a bright one:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RazorbackNL Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 The function of the governor is to maintain the correct engine rpm at any given collective position, making sure that the rotor rpm doesn't drop during any stage of flight. You can put the governor switch to manual but at that position you have to work the throttle manually at every change of the flight controls. In normal conditions the switch is left in auto mode.

scrtagnt69 Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 (edited) I flip the governor to manual to pick up when the load is heavy (Guns/Rockets/Gunners) After pick up I climb to 75-100 FT AGL ( depending on terrain ) Pitch forward and wait until till I achieve 65 KTS before returning it to Auto. https://www.faa.gov/regulations_policies/handbooks_manuals/aviation/helicopter_flying_handbook/media/helicopter_flying_handbook.pdf Chapter 3 will help.

TurboHog Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 ;2178186']The function of the governor is to maintain the correct engine rpm at any given collective position' date=' making sure that the rotor rpm doesn't drop during any stage of flight. [/quote'] It's an overspeed governor. It prevents N2 overspeed. The droop compensator provides a mechanical linkage between the governor speed selector and the collective stick. If a sudden power demand occurs the fuel valves will open up a little extra to compensate. A governor failure in the Huey will cause N2 overspeed A droop compensator failure will cause a sudden loss of RPM if pitch is increased too fast. Not quite your modern EEG, but it works.

Thanks Frett. I need to study the manual better. :smilewink: Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (Wi-Fi) | AMD Ryzen 9 5900X @ 4,5Ghz | 128Gb DDR4 3200Mhz | beQuiet!
