20
Q

Engine Failure

OGE

A

Indications:

  1. Left yaw
  2. ENG OUT warning light
  3. Engine out audio (if functional) activated when GAS PRODUCER drops below 55% RPM.
  4. ROTOR RPM decreases with ROTOR LOW caution light and audio on when ROTOR drops below 90%.
  5. Engine instruments indicate power loss.

Procedure:

  1. Maintain heading and attitude.

Note

ROTOR RPM maintained at high end of operating range will provide maximum rotor energy to accomplish landing, but will cause an increased rate of descent.

  1. Collective - Adjust as required to maintain 90 to 107% ROTOR RPM.

CAUTION

Avoid large forward cyclic inputs until collective is fully down and rotor decay has ceased.

Note

Max airspeed for steady autorotation is 100 KIAS (115 MPH). Autorotation above this speed results in high rates of descent and low ROTOR RPM. A blue radila is installed on the airsped indicator as a reminder of this condition.

Airspeed for minimum rate of descent is 52 KIAS.

Airspeed for max glide is 69 KIAS.

Nominal autorotative A/S is 61 KIAS.

  1. Cyclic - Adjust to obtain desired A/S
  2. Attempt engine restart if ample altitude remains.
  3. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF
  4. At low altitude:

a. Throttle - Closed
b. Flare to lose A/S
7. Apply collective pitch as flare effect decreases to further reduce forward speed and cushion landing.

CAUTION

It is recommended that level touchdown be made prior to passing through 70% ROTOR RPM. Upon ground contact, collective pitch shall be reduced smoothly while maintainingcyclic in neutral or centered position. Excessive ground run with collective up, or any tendency to float for long distance prior to ground contact should be avoided.

  1. Shut down helicopter.
21
Q

Engine Restart

A

Procedure:

  1. Maintain control of helicopter.
  2. Collective - adjust to maintain 90 to 107% ROTOR RPM
  3. Throttle - Closed
  4. 52 KIAS
  5. FUEL VALVE switch - ON
  6. STARTER Switch - Press to engage.

CAUTION

If start is not initiated before GAS PRODUCER decreases below 30% RPM (approximately 10 seconds) after engine failure), throttle shall be modulated during start to prevent exceeding TOT limit.

  1. Throttle - Idle

Note

If TOT gage has a red triangle at 826°C refer to BHT-206L3-FMS-17 for alternate TOT.

  1. TOT Monitor range 716 to 768°
  2. Throttle - Advance smoothly to fully open position.

If a restart is unsuccessful, abort start and secure engine as follows:

  1. Throttle - Closed
  2. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF
  3. Accomplish autorotative descent and landing.
22
Q

Engine Overspeed

A

Indications:

  1. Increase in ROTOR RPM (Nr).
  2. Increase in POWER TURBINE (N2) RPM.
  3. Increase in GAS PRODUCER (N1) RPM.
  4. Increase in TORQUE.

*PROCEDURE:

  1. Throttle - Retard.
  2. N1 RPM or N2 RPM - Stabilized with throttle control.
  3. TOT - Monitor for normal operation.
  4. Collective - Adjust as required to maintain 90 TO 107% ROTOR RPM.
  5. Cyclic - Adjust as required to maintain desired AIRSPEED.
  6. Prepare for power-off landing.

CAUTION

If RPM and TOT cannot be maintained, the engine must be shut down.

23
Q

Engine Underspeed

A

Indications:

  1. Abrupt decrease in N2 RPM.
  2. Subsequent decrease in N2 RPM.
  3. Possible decrease in ROTOR RPM.
  4. Decrease in TORQUE.

Procedure:

  1. Collective - Adjust as required to maintain 90 to 107% ROTOR RPM.
  2. Throttle - Idle stop.
  3. Establish autorotative glide.
  4. Prepare for power-off landing.
24
Q

Engine Compressor Stalls

A

Indications:

  1. Engine pops.
  2. High or erratic TOT
  3. Decreasing or erratic N1 or N2
  4. Torque oscillations

Procedure:

  1. Collective - Reduce power, maintain slow cruise flight.
  2. TOT and N1 - Check for normal indications.
  3. Engine ANTI-ICING switch - ON

Note

The severity of the compressor stalls will dictate if the engine should be shut down and treated as an engine failure. Violent stalls can cause damage to the engine and drive system components, and must be handled as an emergency condition. Stalls of a less severe nature (one or two low intensity pops) may permit continued operation of the engine at a reduced power level, avoiding the condition that resulted in the compressor stall.

If pilot elects to continue flight:

  1. Collective - Increase slowly to achieve desired power level.
  2. TOT and N1 - Monitor for normal response.
  3. Land ASAPr

If pilot elects to shut down engine:

  1. Throttle - Closed
  2. FUEL VALVE switch - OFF
  3. Collective - Adjust as required to maintain 90 to 107% Nr
  4. Cyclic - Adjust as required to maintain desired A/S
  5. Prepare for power-off landing.
25
Q

Engine Oil Pressure Low, High, or Fluctuating

A

If engine oil pressure fluctuates but does not exceed a limit, monitor engine oil pressure and temp and Land ASAPr.

26
Q

Engine Oil Temp High

A

Land ASAPo.

27
Q

Hydraulic System Failure

A

Indications:

  1. Grinding or howling noise from pump.
  2. Increase in force to move flight controls.
  3. Feedback forces may be evident during flight control movement.
  4. Cyclic and collective movements are rate limited.

Procedure:

  1. Reduce AIRSPEED to 61 to 69 KIAS (70 to 60 MPH).
  2. HYDR SYSTEM circuit breaker - Out. If power not restored, push breaker in.
  3. HYDRAULIC SYSTEM switch - ON; OFF if power not restored.
  4. Land as soon as practical.
  5. A run-on landing at approximately 9 KIAS (10 MPH) is recommended.
28
Q

Tail Rotor Failures

A

There is no single emergency procedure for all types of antitorque malfunctions. The key to successful handling of a tail rotor emergency lies in the pilot’s ability to quickly recognize the type of malfunction that has occurred.

29
Q

Complete Loss Of Tail Rotor Thrust

A

This is a situation involving a break in the drive system (e.g., severed driveshaft), wherein the tail rotor stops turning and delivers no thrust.

Indications:

  1. Uncontrollable yawing to the right (left side slip).
  2. Nose down tucking.
  3. Possible roll of the fuselage.

Note

The severity of the initial reaction of the helicopter will be affected by A/S, cabin loading, C of G, power being used, and density altitude.

Procedure:

Hovering - Chop throttle and perform a hovering autorotation. A slight rotation can be expected on touchdown.

In-flight - Reduce throttle to idle, immediately enter autorotation, and maintain a minimum A/S of 52 KIAS during descent.

Note

The large vertical fin may permit controlled flight at low power levels and sufficient A/S when a suitable landing site is not available. During the final stages of the approach, a mild flare should be executed, making sure that all power to rotor is off. Maintain helicopter in a slight flare and smoothly use collective to execute a soft, slightly nose-high landing. Landing on aft portion of skids will tend to correct side drift. This technique will, in most cases, result in a run-on type landing.

Caution

IN A RUN-ON TYPE LANDING AFTER TOUCHING DOWN, DO NOT USE CYCLIC TO REDUCE FORWARD SPEED.

30
Q

Fixed Pitch Failures

A

This is a situation involving the inability to change the tail rotor thrust (blade angle) with the pedals due to a mechanical problem with the anti-torque system.

Indications:

  1. Lack of directional response.
  2. Locked pedals.

NOTE

If the pedals cannot be moved with a moderate amount of force, do not attempt to apply a maximum effort, since a more serious malfunction condition could result. If the helicopter is in a trimmed condition when the malfunction is discovered, the TRQ and A/S should be noted and the aircraft flown to a suitable landing area. Combinations of TORQUE, ROTOR RPM, and AIRSPEED will correct or aggravate a yaw attitude, and these are what will be used to land the helicopter.

Procedure:

HOVERING

Do not chop throttle unless a severe right yaw occurs. If pedals lock in any position at a hover, landing from a hover can be accomplished with greater safety under power-controlled flight rather than by chopping throttle and entering autorotation.

IN-FLIGHT - LEFT PEDAL APPLIED

In a high power condition, the helicopter will yaw to the left when power is reduced. Power and AIRSPEED should be adjusted to a value where a comfortable yaw angle can be maintained. If AIRSPEED is increased, the vertical fin will become more effective and an increased left yaw attitude will develop. To accomplish landing, establish a power-on approach with sufficiently low AIRSPEED (zero if necessary) to attain a rate of descent with a comfortable sideslip angle. (A decrease in N2 RPM decreases tail rotor thrust.) As collective is increased just before touchdown, left yaw will be reduced.

IN-FLIGHT - RIGHT PEDAL APPLIED

In cruise flight or reduced power situation, the helicopter will yaw to the right when power is increased. A low power run-on type landing will be necessary by gradually reducing throttle to maintain heading while adding collective to cushion the landing. If right yaw becomes excessive, roll off the throttle completely.

31
Q

Generator Failure

A

Indications:

  1. GEN FAIL caution light illuminated.
  2. DC loadmeter indicates 0% LOAD.

Procedure:

  1. Check GEN FIELD and GEN RESET circuit breakers in.
  2. Place GEN switch to RESET position, then return to GEN position.
  3. If power not restored, place GEN switch to OFF; land as soon as practical.
32
Q

Excessive Electrical Load

A

Indications:

  1. DC loadmeter indicates excessive loads.
  2. Smoke or fumes.

Procedure:

  1. GEN switch - OFF
  2. Bat switch - OFF
  3. LEFT FUEL BOOST circuit breaker - Check in.

Warning

Altitude must be reduced below 6,000’ PA prior to battery depletion. Unusable fuel may be as high as 160 lbs after battery is depleted due to inability to transfer fuel from the forward cells.

Note

With all electrical equipment OFF, the battery, when 60% charged, will operate the left fuel boost pump approximately 3 hours to transfer fuel from the forward fuel cells and maintain the helicopter within CG limits.

For night operation, approximately one hour of battery power will be available.

  1. Land ASAPr
33
Q

Fuel Transfer Failure

A

Applicable to helicopters equipped with FUEL QTY switch.

A fuel transfer failure will result in trapped fuel in the forward cells and reduce usable fuel by the amount remaining in the forward cells.

Indications:

At total FUEL QTY of approximately 407 lbs and below, FUEL QTY in forward cells remains constant.

Procedure:

  1. Determine FUEL QTY in forward cell.
  2. Subtract quantity of fuel trapped in forward cells from total to determine usable fuel remaining.
  3. Plan landing accordingly.
