BWS / Review of P1 & P2 Flashcards
Name the types of VMC takeoffs
- Normal
- Constant angle
- Vertical
- Level acceleration
Describe normal takeoff
- Off ground: 0.5 FLI, 3 degrees nose down
- 50 KIAS until 50 feet
- Above 50 feet = aircraft in trim
- Accelerate to 65 KIAS
- Adjust to desired rate of climb
Describe constant angle/vertical takeoff
Can very from vertical to almost flat.
When performing vertical takoff, it’s altitude over airspeed and will require OGE power.
Describe level acceleration takeoff
(Would be used when hover power is max power available)
- Achive ETL
- Prevent blowback
- Resume normal takeoff
What is max recommended nose low for acceleration during takeoffs?
5º
The decision to do a go around (when power limited) should be done when?
Prior to deccelerating below ETL
What the procedure for planning a VFR flight?
- Obtain WX (can VFR flight be preformed?)
- NOTAMS, Charts ect.
- Select course and altitude
- Determine; MAG HDG + GS + ETE (each leg)
- Computate: distance, time, fuel
- Verify aircraft CG & weight
What’s the descent profile of a normal approach ?
7 - 12 degrees starting at 300-500’ AGL
When will the aircraft go through ETL ?
16-24 kts
What does loss of ETL mean for us as a pilot on approach ?
Increase collective to maintain approach angle
the increase of collective tends to make nose rise requiring forward cyclic to maintain rate of closure
Left pedal to counteract TQ
What’s the descent profile of a steep approach ?
Cautions?
Approach angle greater than 12º
**Setteling with power:** 20-100% power applied, airspeed < 10 kts, descent > 300 FPM
In a steep approach, loss of ETL occurs ____ then during a normal approach
What does this require ?
Loss of ETL occurs higher
Requires collective increase to prevent settling with power
How could wind in confined areas affect a steep approach ?
Wind effects could be lost when descending below the confined area barrier, causing the aircraft to settle more quickly
What’s the descent profile of a shallow approach ?
Approach angle less than 7º
Usually 3-5º
When would we use a shallow approach and run on landing?
High density altitude
High gross weight condition
Emergency procedure
Due to the insufficient power to hover
Why does the lack of power to hover make us use shallow approach with run on landing ?
to make use of translational lift until surface contact is made
At what speed should the aircraft arrive at the touchdown point during a run on landing ?
At or slightly above ETL
What’s allowable drift during slope landings
± 1 foot
during slope landings, maintain heading ± ____ degrees
± 5º
