ATM Flashcards
When must you compute your arrival data on the PPC?
Compute arrival data if the environmental conditions at any of the destinations have increased by 5C, 1000 feet PA, or the aircraft weight increases 1000 pounds from takeoff point.
What weight(s) may be used to compute GO/NO-GO TQ OGE?
Use either the Maximum Allowable GWT-DE (OGE) determined for item 11 or the Maximum Allowable GWT for the aircraft configuration, whichever is less.
Where must the hover power check be performed?
Perform hover power check near the takeoff point and in the direction of takeoff.
Which crewmember verifies the hover power check?
The P will monitor the aircraft instruments and verify the power check. He or she will compare the actual hover performance data to that of the PPC and PERF page and will announce the results to the P*.
When must the crew conduct additional hover power checks?
Anytime the load or environmental conditions increase significantly (1,000 pounds gross weight, 5 degrees C, or 1,000 feet pressure altitude).
What ground speed is represented by full-scale deflection of the velocity vector in hover mode and transition mode symbology?
Hover mode: 6 KTGS, Transition mode: 60 KTGS
What power setting (%TQ) is used for a rolling takeoff in a training environment? What power setting is used for a real-world rolling takeoff?
For training, us a simulated power setting of 10% (±3%) below IGE hover power
For a real-world rolling takeoff, use a TQ value 3-5% below actual DE MTA (tested) or 5% below the computed DE MTA per the PPC.
During a rolling takeoff, when may the pilot allow the nose of the aircraft to drop below the fuselage level?
After departing the takeoff surface.
When is the aircraft placed in aerodynamic trim (trim ball centered) during a normal VMC takeoff (10% above hover power available)?
Maintain heading with the pedals until 50 feet AGL or clear of obstacles/barriers, then place the aircraft in trim.
When is the aircraft placed in aerodynamic trim (trim ball centered) during a normal VMC takeoff (10% above hover power available)?
Maintain heading with the pedals until 50 feet AGL or clear of obstacles/barriers, then place the aircraft in trim.
When is the aircraft placed in aerodynamic trim during a VMC limited power takeoff?
As the helicopter reaches ETL, use the pedals to place the aircraft in trim.
During a Level Acceleration Takeoff, at what airspeed does the pilot adjust the aircraft attitude from an accelerative attitude to the pitch required to continue acceleration to desired climb airspeed?
After accelerating through minimum single engine airspeed, adjust the cyclic to continue the acceleration to the desired climb airspeed and maintain the desired ground track.
What page must be displayed on an MPD in each crew station when conducting a slope landing?
FLT PAGE
When should the crew abort a landing on a slope?
If at any time it becomes apparent that aircraft limits will be exceeded, terminate the maneuver, return the aircraft to a hover, and reposition to a suitable landing area.
What are the two scenarios in which a roll-on landing may be performed?
A roll-on landing may be performed during those approved flight missions where IGE power is not available; for example, high DA or GWT. This may also be performed in an environment where obscurants such as sand, dust, or snow are present.
What MPD page must be displayed in both crew stations prior to performing SCAS Off/BUCS On flight?
A/C UTIL Page
In cruise flight, after detecting an engine failure, or after the IP announces “Simulated engine failure, engine number 1,” what are the first flight control inputs made by the pilot?
Adjust the collective and cyclic as necessary to maintain single engine TQ and rotor RPM within limits.
Following a single engine failure (continued flight possible), what airspeed must be maintained until 30 feet above touchdown?
Adjust airspeed to remain within SE airspeed limits, then maintain at or above min VSSE until 30’ above touchdown
What conditions must be met before conducting Slope Operations?
Helicopter cleared, with an A/C FLT page displayed on one multipurpose display in both crew stations, with before-landing checks completed, and the *P properly fitted with a HDU (Parking brake set – standard).
How will the manually-controlled engine be set, relative to the good engine, following a EDECU Lockout?
Place the malfunctioning engine in lockout and set torque 5 percent below the good engine, ±5 percent
When is the fuel consumption check computed?
Compute in-flight fuel consumption check within 15 to 30 minutes of leveling off or entering into the mission profile.
What 4 things are determined when computing a fuel consumption check?
Compute total pounds per hour, Bingo time of day, and burn out time of day.
Evaluate the fuel consumption rate to ensure that the burn rate is normal.
Define SAUNTER airspeed.
Fly at best endurance airspeed (MAX END-R/C).
Per the common standards, what must the crew establish and announce when the aircraft is operated at an OGE hover?
A forced landing or single engine flyaway plan
Regarding engine failures during hovering flight, what optional data may be entered in the remarks section of the PPC?
Record the minimum/maximum airspeed/altitude combinations using the height-velocity single engine failure chart that most closely approximates the ambient conditions and aircraft GWT.
Example: “Avoid 0 to 10 KTAS between 35 and 160 feet.”
How much collective reduction is required when responding to a SE failure at an OGE hover?
Only enough to maintain TQ within SE limitations (actual or simulated).
What are the standards for the following when planning a VFR Flight?
Distance: +/- 1 NM
Mag Heading: +/- 5 Degree
GND speed: +/- 5 Knots
ETE: +/- 3 Minutes
Fuel requirement: +/- 100 lbs
What is the first NOTE associated with Task 1058 Perform Visual Meteorological Approach?
Steep approaches, or approaches that place the aircraft below ETL while OGE can place the aircraft in potential settling-with-power condition. The crew must be familiar with diagnosing and correcting this condition.
What phase of flight (Takeoff, Cruise, Approach) should aircrews ‘mostly’ consider settling-with-power while executing formation flight?
Approach phase. Lead aircraft should maintain a constant approach angle (prefer shallow) to avoid following aircraft having to fly through rotor downwash.
What are the criteria for a landing area reconnaissance prior to conducting a VMC approach to a confined area?
SSBATTW
Size of landing area
Suitability of the surface
Barriers to the approach path
Approach direction
Touchdown point possible Takeoff direction
effects of Wind
While conducting a VMC approach to a confined area, the crew elects to do a go-around. When should the go-around be initiated?
A go-around should be initiated before airspeed is reduced below effective translational lift or descending below the barriers.
What is the primary consideration during a terrain flight deceleration at very low altitude (NOE)?
Maintaining clearance of the tail rotor.
What tasks will not be performed when OGE power is not available?
VMC Takeoff (confined area, altitude over airspeed)
VMC Approach (termination to an OGE hover)
Engine Failure (OGE)
Instrument Takeoff (ITO)
Terrain Flight (NOE)
Masking/Unmasking (unmasking at a hover vertically)
What is the definition of Minimum Safe Altitude (MSA)?
Minimum safe altitude (MSA) is defined as the minimum safe height above the surface or obstacles to which the helicopter can descend in a masked condition.
