Following pre-flight and taxi to a hover-take off, the subject climbed to the Air Traffic Controller (ATC) designated altitude. The subject was then instructed to execute a series of touch and go maneuvers (one standard no hover, one standard engine stall at takeoff, and one simulated number one engine stall to a running landing). Upon completion of these tasks the subjects departed the pattern at an altitude assigned by the ATC for a Search and Resuce (SAR) case in which there was ostensibly a distressed boat that would likely require removal of a crew member with unknown injuries. While proceeding to the vessel's position, the aircraft experienced an AC bus malfunction with a resulting loss of the gyro and pitch and roll controls. Upon stabilizing the aircraft and returning to systems-normal flight, the subject was directed to th position of the simulated craft and instructed to prepare to hoist the injured party aboard. While in a hover at approximately 50 feet above ground level, the subject was given a servo-jam warning followed by a secondary hydraulic failure indicator which resulted in the rudder peddles being fixed. The subject was then requested to enter a holding pattern and return to base and land the "impaired aircraft as instructed by the ATC. The subjects was ten directed to fly from the runway to the outer ramp (hel0-pad). As the subjects was on short-final approach, the instructor pilot simulated a stall of the number one engine from which the subject was to recover and land the aircraft as instructed.
