Q

What is LTE?

A

The occurrence of an uncommanded and rapid right yaw rate which does not subside of its own accord and which if not quickly reacted to can result in loss of aircraft control.

88
Q

What is the EP for LTE?

A

Simultaneously
1. Pedal - Full left
2. Cyclic - Forward
3. As recovery is affected, adjust controls for normal flight.
Caution - Collective reduction will aid in arresting yaw rate, but pilot must assess altitude available for recovery.
4. If spin cannot be stopped and crash is imminent, autorotation may be the best option. Maintain full left pedal until spin stops and adjust to maintain heading.

89
Q

What are the contributing factors to LTE?

A

High Gross Weight
High Density Altitude
Low airspeed below ETL
Power Droop

Aircraft more susceptible to LTE during:
Right turns
Right downwind turns
Low altitude/airspeed

90
Q

What are the LTE regions?

A
  1. Weathercock stability (120-240 degrees)
    - Aircraft weathervanes into relative wind
    - Slow uncommanded right and left yaws
    - Right yaw may develop into LTE and requires immediate action.
  2. Vortex ring state (210-330 degrees)
    - Tail rotor thrust variations
    - Uncommanded pitch, roll, yaw variations
    - Precise heading control impossible
    - High pilot work load
  3. Disc vortex (280-330 degrees)
    - 10-30 knot winds
    - Main rotor vortices directed on to tail rotor
91
Q

What is the LTE note?

A

Pilot must anticipate variations and concentrate on flying the aircraft and not allowing a yaw rate to build.

92
Q

What is the minimum clearance for a bridge/tunnel/underpass?

A

4.3 meters

93
Q

What are the last 3 switches turned off at shutdown?

A
