SFAM 102

Rotor brake. Everyone gets the switches confused. Make sure you understand how the safety interlock works and what flipping the switch to the off position does.

Max Gross weight takeoffs
See stan man. This is a slow maneuver. Take your time and keep scanning the rad alt it will climb quickly if you don't watch it. Take your 15 degree yaw out at 60kts and by the time you're straightened out you will usually be at 70 kts.

Single Engine Failure
If he doesn't do it on his own ask your sim instructor to give you a max gross weight single engine failure in a HOGE. You really have to dump the nose. It is educational and there is no way to teach it in the aircraft.

Cross Tie Failure
Power from the APU comes into the number one bus. Since the number two bus is not receiving any juice it defaults to the cross tie position resulting in it getting power from the number one bus. Now let's say you had a number one bus failure. Or maybe just a cross tie failure you were able to correct by turning the generator off. Is it a good idea to light the APU and cross over? NO. That would be a self induced total electrical failure (you'd still have battery power). Which would mean you would lose your AFCS, which can make flying more interesting.

Utility Hot light
The utility hot light is just a temperature sensor. If you had a number 2 bus failure your utility hydraulic fan will never work. You should catch the bus failure on start up but if you didn't your first indication may be that light coming on.
