[QUOTE=ShyTorque;11043376]Sycamore - how do you get a Gazelle into "manual"? There's no fuel computer.....

According to the flight manual Section 3 Emergency Procedures.

"Move the fuel flow control lever (rearwards) to obtain 43000 rpm and continue in level flight,if possible at a constant pitch."

Pitch changes require further throttle adjustment and the requirement is to land in autorotation.
Alarm warning light will be on.

Having had a look at the flight manual, training notes and the engine manual I am at a loss as to how the governor is actually isolated from the fuel circuit.
Looks to be a mechanical action caused by retarding the throttle, but I can't work it out.

If anyone has a solution I would be pleased to see it.
