CAT A Flashcards
Which supplement contains Cat A symbology on PFDs?
Supplement 68 Epic 5,6,7 Additional features.
Clear Area Profile?
-Select RPM 102 -Select Clear Area -The TDP magenta bug is set on Rad Alt tape at 30 ft. -5 ft HIGE press CAT A to acquire actual PI value and hover pitch attitude. The Target PI (HIGE PI plus Delta PI) bug on the PI and a bar at 5 nose down are then presented. The T-O is started by pitching to the magenta line then increasing PI to the indicated bug. When TDP is achieved the attitude line moves to 5 nose up and a/s bug of 50 KIAS is presented. After Vy all bugs disappear.
Elev Helipad?
The default ELEV HELIPAD TDP is 20 ft. In hover CAT A pushbutton acquires actual PI and pitch attitude. The Target PI (HIGE PI plus Delta PI) on the PI scale and hover attitude are presented. The T-O is initiated by increasing PI to the bug while climbing vertically. When TDP value is achieved “TDP TDP” is generated and the pitch line moves to 10 nose down in 1 sec., maintains the attitude for 1 sec., then moves back to 0 in 1 sec. The VTOSS bug is indicated on the IAS tape and when this is achieved, the pitch attitude line moves to 5 nose up. After Vy bugs disappear.
Take Off Decision Point (TDP)?
— The first point. in the Take-Off path from which a CTO capability is assured and the last point from which a RTO is assured, within the rejected take off distance.
Landing Decision Point (LDP)?
— The last point, in the approach landing path, from which it is possible either to land on a predetermined area or accomplish a Balked Landing.
Continued Take Off distance?
— The horizontal distance from the start of the take off procedure to a point at least 35 ft (10 m) ATS where VTOSS and a positive rate of climb are attained following an engine failure at or after TDP.
Rejected Take Off distance?
— The horizontal distance from the start of the take off procedure to a point where the helicopter lands and stops safely following an engine failure prior to TDP.
Take-Off path?
— The path from the point of commencement of the take off procedure to the point at which the helicopter is 1000 ft (300 m) ATS. This is composed of two segments, PATH 1 and PATH 2.
PATH 1?
— The segment between the end of the CTO distance (or BL distance) to a height of 200 ft (60 m) ATS during an OEI 2.5 min power climb at VTOSS (or VBLSS) and for a minimum ROC of 100 fpm.
PATH 2?
— The segment between 200 ft (60 m) ATS and 1000 ft (300 m) ATS during an OEI MCP power climb at VY and for a minimum ROC of 150 fpm.
Take Off Safety Speed (VTOSS) or Balked Landing Safety Speed (VBLSS)?
The airspeed at which the scheduled climb gradient OEI can be achieved.
Wind Limitations?
Maximum cross wind component must not exceed 20 kts (10 m/s). Take-Off with tail wind component is prohibited.
PC2 Clear Area Takeoff Procedures?
At 5 foot hover, pitch A/C to -5 degrees below the horizon and apply hover PI plus 18. If 18 is not available apply 110. PM calls PI, and Instrument status. PM calls “Airspeed alive”, TDP is established at 30ft and is called
by PM. At Vtoss (50kts), the PF establishes +5 nose up and accelerates to (Vy). At 200ft/80kts the PF calls “RPM 100, Gear Up.” The right seat pilot selects the RPM switch to 100 and places the Landing gear handle in the UP position.
PC2 Clear Area Landing Procedures?
At 500 Ft AGL and 80 Kts select RPM SWITCH to 102 and gradually reduce speed and altitude with a ROD less than 500 fpm to arrive at 200 feet AGL. Initiate a deceleration to arrive at LDP of 50 Kts and 50 Ft with ROD less than 350 fpm. PM calls “LDP”. PF responds “Landing.” Continue to deceleration and descent with maximum nose up attitude prior to TD of 15.
PC2 Ground Level / Elevated Heliport Landing?
Pass through 200 ft ALS at no more than 500 fpm. Descend and decel to achieve LDP of 50ft ALS and 20KIAS with ROD less than 350fpm. Maintain flight path using no more than 350 fpm and continue to a 5 ft hover. (Offshore 40ft and 15 Kts)
