Q

500 FPM

25

When performing a run on landing OEI, reduce airspeed not to exceed ____ FLI with training device and ____ without training device

simulated OEI conditions?

A

12 FLI with training device
11 FLI without training device

AEO power for simulated OEI conditions

26
Q

simulated eng failure at low altitude/low airspeed w. flyaway

What are the initial immediate actions when detecting ENG FAIL at low altitude ?

A
  • Trim rotorspeed to max
  • Obtain 45 KIAS
  • Announce
  • Adjust collective to maintain rotor limits
27
Q

simulated eng failure at low altitude/low airspeed w. flyaway

When performing “flyaway” what should collective be adjusted to ?

A

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

When reaching 200' adjust to 65 KIAS and climb to altitude that allows you to reach suitable landing area

28
Q

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 ?

A

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

29
Q

Autorotation

State entry parameters for autorotation

A

700’ AGL
90 KIAS

30
Q

Autorotation

Why should we apply collective to reach >5%TQ ?

A

To enter an autorotational descent and not a steep approach

(Ensures that the rotor is decoupled from the engines)

31
Q

Autorotation

When should we ensure that a steady state autorotation is attained ?

If it is not?

A

Before reaching 300’AGL

Abort and perform go around

32
Q

Autorotation

What indicates a steady state autorotation ?

A
  1. Rotor RPM is within limits (96-104)

  4. Aircraft in a position to terminate at the intended landing area
33
Q

Autorotation

How is it terminated ?

A

Go around” : apply collective to arrest descent and establish climb
or
terminate with power” : apply collective to arrst descent at an altitude that will ensure the tail stinger doesn’t touch the ground
