A helicopter having a turbine engine, a pilot control stick with a tactile warning device connected thereto 58, means for measuring actual engine start-up parameters and means to activate the tactile warning device if the actual engine start-up parameters fall outside of safe engine start-up parameters. The start up parameters may be a temperature or a temperature profile. The pilot control stick may be a collective. Data storage means 60 may be provided for inputting safe engine start-up parameters and may further be provided for the input of safe flight parameters, the tactile warning device being activated if safe flight parameters are exceeded. The magnitude, and possibly the frequency, of the tactile warning given may increase from when a dangerous condition is being approached to when a dangerous condition exists. |
