CAT1 Study Pack Flashcards
Responsibilities of the MH TACCO
1: to the AC (2)
2: to the MHCC (3)
- Safe Navigation
- Performance of assigned Aircrew duties
- Planning the tactics to be employed in the assigned task
- Ensuring that standard tactical procedures are followed
- Co-ordinating and directing operations
Define Warning
Warning is used to emphasize an operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc… which, if not strictly observed, could result in
injury to or death of personnel.
Define caution
Caution is used to emphasize an operating or maintenance procedure, practice, condition, statement, etc… which, if not strictly observed, could result in
- damage to or destruction of equipment,
- loss of mission effectiveness, or
- long term health hazards to personnel.
Define Note
Note is used to point out a procedure, event or practice which is desired or essential to highlight.
Define land as soon as practicable
This means that extended flight is not recommended.
Landing site and flight duration are at the discretion of the AC
Define land as soon as possible
This means that continued flight is not recommended.
Land at the first site at which a safe landing can be made
Define land immediately
This means that an immediate landing or ditching is mandatory.
The consequences of continued flight are more hazardous than those of landing at a site normally considered unsuitable
Describe the purpose of the essential bus,
how is it energized,
what happens in the event of power failure?
Essential bus supplies power for operation of the DC flight instruments and all equipment necessary for the safety of flight. It may be energized by all power sources. It is powered by either TR or, if both fail, by the battery.
What equipment is on radio master 1. How is it powered?
Powered by essential bus
I VISIT U
ICS, VHF/AM, ILS/VOR, SECURE UHF IFF TACAN UHF
Describe the purpose of the primary bus. How is it powered, what about if there is power failure
Primary bus is run on DC power through either TR. it supplies power to equipment necessary for the completion of missions. Powers radio master 2. It is dropped if both TRs fail.
What equipment is on radio master 2?
HA LOUD
HF ADF/UHF LF/ADF OTPI UHF ANTENNA DOPPLER
What equipment is on radio master 3, how is it powered
Powered via the primary bus
VR SSS
VHF/FM RADALT SECURE HF (KY-75) SONO RECEIVER SONAR POWER
Describe the purpose of the monitored bus.
What equipment is on the monitored bus
What will cause it to be dropped
It supplies power to equipment not required for safety of flight. It is dropped if either TR fails.
Cabin heater
Utility receptacles (IPVMS)
Flood hover lights and control
Describe how the battery bus is energized, what does it provide power to?
Energized directly from the battery
CPI cockpit some light Cockpit spotlight Electronics compartment light Essential bus (if dual TRu failure - approx 10-15 mins power avail)
Prior to opening the upper personnel door during barrier approach/confined area, what is the call?
Below 30KIAS, barker bar installed, permission to open the upper personnel door
What is the emergency CMI for NVG failure
If conning/controlling the aircraft, relinquish control/con. Then say “(your position) GOGGLE FAILURE” on ICS
What are the HF warnings?
Do not transmit:
when anyone is on or near the helicopter,
when the transmission access doors are open, or
when the blades are folded
To reduce radiation risk to passengers the HF operator shall ensure, prior to transmitting, that no personnel are seated within 30cm of the left fuselage window or within 60cm of the HF coupler.
Describe RADHAZ SAFE
PORT
STARBOARD
FORWARD
AFT
150 - 000 safe PORT
000 - 210 safe STARBOARD
150 - 270 safe AFT
315 - 135 safe FORWARD
What are the rules regarding high level shit-offs during HIFR
PRI and SEC TEST are used to ensure that high level shut offs are fully functional
They should be tested if intending to fuel greater than 3000lbs. If unserviceable or untested the fuelling shall stop when either tank reaches 2000lbs.
Note: there should be at least 2000lbs on board prior to testing (HIFR)
Describe emergency breakaway considerations
Hose breaks at 400-500lbs tension Will leave approx 10ft attached to helo Couplings limit fuel spilt To continue HIFR after breakaway, reassemble hose, recirculate for 5 mins and retest before commencing Fuelling rate is 420lbs/min
Define the Final Approach Area
Area extending 2.5nm out from ship 20 deg either side of the Final Approach Course. Should be clear of obstructions prior to approach.
Note if IFR approach in IMC
- wind must be within 30 deg of ships heading
- Final Approach Course shall be within 30 degrees of the ships heading
- Final approach shall be clear of all obstructions
Describe the Final Approach Course
Bearing assigned by the SAC within 30 degrees of the 180 from the ship, out to 2nm
Describe the Delta
The Delta is a holding pattern flown adjacent to the recovery ship at 200ft and oriented into wind. Usually flown in a right hand orbit
