CH-47: Emergency Procedures KTK Flashcards
Autorotate
- Adjusting the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational descent and landing.
- Thrust CONT lever - Adjust as required to maintain NR
- Pedals - Adjust as required
- Cyclic - Adjust as required
EMER ENG Shutdown
- Engine shutdown without delay.
- Engine shutdown in flight is usually not an immediate action item unless a fire exists.
- Before executing an engine shutdown, identify the affected engine by checking indications of TQ, NR, NG, PTIT, engine oil pressure, and the ENG 1 (2) FAIL warning.
- ENG COND Lever - STOP
- FIRE PULL handle - Pull as required
- FIRE PULL handle - Twist clockwise or counterclockwise as required (engine fire only)
Abort Start
- Engine shutdown to prevent PTIT from exceeding limits or whenever abnormal operation is indicated.
- If high PTIT was indicated, the engine must be motored to decrease PTIT below 260°C.
- ENG COND Lever - STOP
- ENG START Switch - Motor (if high PTIT is indicated)
Emergency Warning Signals and Exits
- Prepare for ditching, or crash landing - 3 short rings
- Water or ground contact - Sustained ring
Engine Hot Start
- ABORT START
NOTE
Immediately alternate motoring engines, until rotors are stopped, to reduce the possibility of engine residual fire.
Residual Fire During Shutdown
- Caused by residual fuel igniting in the combustion chamber
- ABORT START
- FIRE PULL handle (affected engine) - Pull
- FIRE PULL handle - Twist clockwise or counterclockwise as required (engine fire only)
Engine Compartment/APU/Fuselage/Electrical Fire - Ground
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
- APU switch** - **OFF
- BATT switch** - **OFF
In-Flight Fire Procedures
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
- CABIN HEATER BLOWER circuit breaker (No. 2 PDP/C31) - Pull
- Cockpit windows - Closed
- SMOKE AND FUME ELIMINATION (as required)
After landing:
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
APU Fire - Flight
- APU switch - OFF
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES - Perform
Engine Fire - Flight
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES - Perform
- Engine fire - Confirm
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN (affected engine)
Electrical Fire - Flight
WARNING
A dual engine flameout may occur if both generator switches are turned off above 6,000 feet PA. All fuel boost pumps will be inoperative.
- IN-FLIGHT FIRE PROCEDURES - PERFORM
- A/S - Below 100 KCAS or Vne, whichever is slower
- GEN 1 and GEN 2 switches - OFF
After landing:
- BATT switch - OFF
Smoke and Fume Elimination
- A/S - Above 60 KCAS
- Pilot’s sliding window - Open
- Helicopter attitude - Yaw left 1/2 - 1 ball width on inclinometer
- Upper half of main cabin door - Open
- RAMP EMER switch - As required
- Cargo loading ramp - As required
- Copilot’s sliding window - Closed
- NVG curtain - Open (if applicable)
High Speed Straight Ahead Descent
- This procedure produces the highest R/D, but also produces high airspeeds which must be dissipated prior to landing.
- NR: 104%
- A/S: 130-150 KCAS
- Recovery: at/above 600 ft AGL (decel to 75-85 KCAS)
Out-of-Trim Descent
This procedure places the helicopter in a high R/D and allows simultaneous execution of smoke and fume elimination procedure. In addition, it allows good landing area predictability.
- NR: 104%
- A/S: 100 KCAS
- Trim: 1 ball to the right (left pedal), bank angle 8-10° right with 0 turn rate
- Recovery: at/above 600 ft AGL (decel to 75 KCAS)
Low Speed Maneuvering Descent
Maneuvering the helicopter in steep turns as described below should allow the pilot to fly the helicopter over his intended area during the descent, observe the area of intended touchdown, and make adjustments as required.
- NR: 102%
- A/S: 75-90 KCAS
- Bank angle: up to 60° = desired rate of descent
- Recovery: at/above 600 ft AGL
Autorotative Landing
- Maintain speed at or above the minimum R/D airspeed in autorotation with cyclic.
- 50-75 ft AGL, apply aft cyclic as necessary, not to exceed 20° nose-high, to initiate a smooth deceleration.
- Maintain NR below 108% by adjusting thrust as necessary.
- Do not allow NR to decay below 91% prior to touchdown.
- At approximately 15 ft AGL, apply thrust to slow R/D.
Ditching - Power Off
- AUTOROTATE
Ditching - Power On
- Land in the water away from personnel
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
Landing in Trees - Power On
- Approach to a hover - 5 to 10 feet above tree level
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
Landing in Trees - Power Off
- AUTOROTATE
Minimum Rate of Descent - Power Off
- The power off minimum R/D is attained at an airspeed of approximately 80 KCAS and 100% NR.
Maximum Glide Distance - Power Off
- The maximum glide distance is attained at an indicated airspeed of 105 KCAS or Vne, whichever is slower, and 100% NR.
Dual Engine Failure - Low Altitude / Low Airspeed
- When both engines fail at low altitude and low airspeed, sufficient altitude is not available to increase NR.
- Establish the best autorotaional airpseed, jettison external cargo (if applicable), and decelerate effectively prior to touchdown.
- Initial thrust control lever adjustment will vary from no reduction at 0 knots airpseed below 20 feet to full reduction at higher airpseeds and altitudes.
- Attempt to maintain at least 96% NR.
Dual Engine Failure - Cruise
- AUTOROTATE
- External cargo - Jettison
- FLT DIR CPLR - Uncouple
- DAFCS modes - OFF
Single Engine Failure - Low Altitude / Low Airspeed / Cruise

- External cargo - Jettison as required
- FLT DIR CPLR - Uncouple
- DAFCS modes - Off
If continued flight is possible:
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
- EMER ENG SHUTDOWN (when conditions permit)
ENG1 FADEC or ENG2 FADEC Caution
- FADEC INC/DEC switch (affected engine) - Match TQs as required
- Reduce rate of Thrust CONT lever changes
ENG1 FADEC and ENG2 FADEC Cautions
- FADEC INC/DEC switch - Adjust to 100% NR, match TQs
- Recue rate of Thrust CONT lever changes
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
