BWS TD 84 Daily Questions

Question 1

What are the crew actions of the P* when responding IIMC?

Answer 1

• Announce IIMC
• Immediatly initiate a climb
• Establish aircraft control wile transitioning to instruments
• Announce if uncaged

Question 2

What are the crew actions of the P when responding IIMC?

Answer 2

• Acknowledge IIMC
• Monitor instruments to assist in recovery
• Announce positive climb, current altitude, altitude climbing to, heading
• Set Transponder and Guard

Question 3

What is the warning associated with engaging the upper modes if the aircraft encounters IIMC?

Answer 3

Ensure aircraft is under control and a positive climb is initiated prior to engaging upper modes

Question 4

State the caution associated with Task 1194 Perform Refuel Operations

Answer 4

Due to tank ventilation and filler neck limits, high velocity of incoming fuel may cause fuel to flow backwards and exit the fuel cell via open port

Question 5

Why does it require more power to hover OGE than IGE?

Answer 5

Induced flow velocity is increased reducing AOA so higher blade pitch required to maintain same AOA as if IGE

Question 6

State the conditions that must exist simultaneously for settling with power to occur

Answer 6

• +300FPM descent
• Less than ETL
• Rotor system using 20-100% of available power with insufficient amount to arrest descent

Question 7

During this vortex ring state, roughness and loss of control occur due to what effects?

Answer 7

Turbulent rotational flow on the blades and unsteady shifting of the flow along the blade span

Question 8

State the flight conditions that are conducive to settling with power

Answer 8

• Steep approach at high rate descent
• Downwind approach
• Formation flight approach
• Hovering above max hover ceiling
• Masking/Unmasking

Question 9

For single rotor helicopters, what are the recovery procedures for settling with power?

Answer 9

• Applying cyclic to gain airspeed and arrest upward induced flow of air or by lowering collective if altitude permits
