constant pressure, variable volume
When flying AW139 the pilot must use polarized sun glasses.(T/F)
FALSE
What CAS messages come on with a complete failure of the #1 Hydraulic system?
1 HYD OIL PRESS + 1 HYD PUMP + 1 SERVO + EMERG LDG PRESS
If you are in flight and the BAG DOOR CAS message comes on, what are your emergency procedures?
Reduce A/S below 100 Kts and Land ASA Possible
What CAS message will not stop announcing until you have satisfied its requirement?
Low Rotor
What two important items will you lose with a MAU 2 CAS message?
AWG FAIL and GPS FAIL
How do you tune your radios in flight with a 1(2)MAU OVHT CAS message?
Use tuning function on PFD using CCD
When using external power for starting, you turn the external power switch on and nothing happens. What do you do?
Reset 1 AMP circuit breaker in the nose compartment if modified.
What is the Critical Relative Wind Sector?
090-135 degrees
For an aircraft to be certified for IFR, what performance standard must it be able to attain?
50 fpm OEI to 1000’ above the take-off area.
To which BUS does external power connect?
MAIN 1
What are the main functions of the GCU’s?
CONTROL
MONITOR
PROTECT
During engine starting what does the AUX Battery do?
Feeds the ESS Buses during engine start up
Are MAIN and AUX Batteries recharged by the External Power Unit?
NO - they are automatically disconnected when external power is applied
What do the PDP’s do?
- Connect GENs and BATTs to LH and RH Distribution Bus Bars via MAIN LOAD BUS 1 + MAIN LOAD BUS 2
- Check and connect the external power source to the a/c Distribution Bus Bars
- Control the BUS TIE Contactor
BATTERY MASTER Switch OFF does?
Disconnects MAIN + AUX batteries from all BUS BARS
BATTERY MASTER Switch ON does?
- Connects MAIN + AUX Batteries to the ESS BUSES
* Enables the MAIN + AUX Battery Switches
SINGLE GENERATOR FAILURE (1 DC GEN)…what happens?
BUS TIE contactor automatically closes
NON ESS BUS 1 and NON ESS BUS 2 are disconnected
MOMENTARY OVERCURRENT SITUATION… what happens?
Drives the DC BUS FAIL message in the CAS.
Inhibits the BUS TIE contactor automatic operation (remains open).
SHORT CIRCUIT (DC BUS FAIL + 1 DC GEN)… What happens?
Disconnects relevant generator (thus displaying 1(2) DC GEN message)
Disconnects relevant battery (causing MAIN BATT OFF or AUX BATT OFF to be displayed) BUS TIE contactor remains OPEN
PILOT MUST DO NOTHING
What does MAIN BATT OFFLINE caution message mean?
One of the two batteries is not connected to the ESS BUS
On power up what is the default selection on the Autopilot Control Panel?
ATT
What difference is there when using the SAS release on the cyclic rather than AP control Panel?
Actuators are not automatically re-centered (as they are when using the APCP)
What are the requirements for the AP Test?
- On Ground
- Both AP off
- Full hydraulic power (207 bar / 3000 psi)
- Flight Controls centred, collective full down (MPOG *Minimum Pitch On Ground)
Which AP is the Trim Master?
The first AP engaged
What 3 actions does the GA mode initiate?
- Collective - climbs with v/s of 1000 ft/m
- Power - maintains 80 Kts IAS
- Roll - it levels the wings
What does OS mode enable you to do?
It enables the pilot to select and follow a new heading directly overhead a station.
