Japo32 Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 2 people with same problem. We both have assigned the grey hotas warthog friction axis to both power levers. When we set a key to fingerlifts and press it the power lever allows to go far more than FLY position and of course we have Rotor RPM High aural warning. if we press again that fingerlifts and put the levers a little down, the power levers stays at FLY postion, but all the time continues the "Rotor RPM High" warning. Of course we can lower totally the power levers, but once again they reach FLY postion the problem persists.
tech_op2000 Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 As I understood it, going to override disabled the protections and automatic power management. This means that afterward, the pilot would have to adjust the power levers constantly to maintain rotor rpm. I think what your saying it does is as intended.
Solution tech_op2000 Posted March 23, 2022 Solution Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) From the Operators Manual for the Apache: During emergency operations when the POWER lever is moved to LOCKOUT and then retarded to an intermediate position, between IDLE and FLY, the engine will respond to collective input, but control of engine speed is no longer automatic and must be managed manually using the POWER lever. To remove the ECU from lockout operation, the engine POWER lever must be moved to IDLE, then back to FLY I did a test: In my test it functioned exactly as specified. going into lockout disabled automatic rpm control. then i could manually set power levers for desired torque. moving levers to idle then back to fly returned them to automatic control.
