TRUE/FALSE: Overspeed protection remains active on the second engine after the first engine is shut down by BIM.

TRUE/FALSE: Overspeed protection remains active on the second engine after the first engine is shut down by BIM.

• A. True
• B. False
• C. Not Sure
• D. Not Applicable

Answer: (B)

Overspeed protection is a safety feature that limits engine speed to a safe maximum. In the MH-65E, when the first engine is shut down by BIM, the control logic reconfigures for an engine-out transition, and the remaining engine’s overspeed protection is not kept active through that shutdown sequence. This means the pilot must manage the second engine’s speed using normal controls during the transition. So the statement is false because the protective function does not stay engaged on the second engine during BIM shutdown of the first.
