BWS / Review of P1 & P2

Question 1

Name the types of VMC takeoffs

Answer 1

1. Normal
2. Constant angle
3. Vertical
4. Level acceleration

Question 2

Describe normal takeoff

Answer 2

• 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

Question 3

Answer 3

Can very from vertical to almost flat.
When performing vertical takoff, it’s altitude over airspeed and will require OGE power.

When will the aircraft go through ETL ?

Answer 9

16-24 kts

Question 10

Question 12

In a steep approach, loss of ETL occurs ____ then during a normal approach

What does this require ?

Answer 12

Loss of ETL occurs higher

Requires collective increase to prevent settling with power

Question 13

How could wind in confined areas affect a steep approach ?

Answer 13

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 ?

Answer 14

Approach angle less than 7º
Usually 3-5º

Question 15

When would we use a shallow approach and run on landing?

Answer 15

High density altitude
High gross weight condition
Emergency procedure

Due to the insufficient power to hover

Answer 26

- Trim rotorspeed to max - Obtain 45 KIAS - Announce - Adjust collective to maintain rotor limits

Question 27

# simulated eng failure at low altitude/low airspeed w. flyaway When performing "flyaway" what should collective be adjusted to ?

Answer 27

To maximum power available - 12 FLI, 2.5 min power when OEI - Not to exceed 12 FLI with training device - simulated ENG FAIL AEO maintain AEO limits ## Footnote `When reaching 200' adjust to 65 KIAS and climb to altitude that allows you to reach suitable landing area`

Question 28

# simulated eng failure at low altitude/low airspeed FORCED LANDING What's the initial actions when detecting an ENG FAIL at low altitude with a suitable landing area beneath you ?

Answer 28

Simoustanly: 1. Trim rotorspeed to max 2. Obtain 45 KIAS 3. Announce 4. Adjust collective to maintain rotor limits Then: Adjust cyclic to arrive at 40 KIAS at 50' AGL Adjust airspeed as appropriate not to exceed AEO limits for simulated conditions

Answer 29

700' AGL 90 KIAS

Question 30
