Circuit breaker handing terms: Check / Pull / Reset / Cycle

A

Check — visually observe circuit breaker position. Do not change condition

Pull — If circuit breaker is in, pull CB out. If CB is out, do not change condition

Reset — If CB is out, push CB in. If CB is in, do not change condition. Popped CBs may be reset only once.

Cycle - If CB is in, pull CB out and then push CB back in. If CB is out, do not change condition.

*4. ENG ANTI-ICE switches — As required
*5. External cargo/stores/fuel — Jettison/dump as required.

In the event a fly-away is attempted and is unsuccessful, the PAC should announce intentions and flare to target a touchdown speed of approx. _____________.

A

15-20 KGS

minimizing rate of descent will provide a greater chance of survival than attempting to achieve 0 KGS

76
Q

Landing site selection for ‘Abnormal Vibrations in Flight’

A
  1. Runway / pad ashore
  2. Large deck / multi-spot ship
  3. Small deck / single-spot ship
77
Q

Airspeed to minimize vibrations in flight

A

80 KIAS

78
Q

Airspeed to minimize AVCS vibrations

A

120-130 KIAS

79
Q

Two categories of Main Transmission Malfunctions

A
  1. Chip — indicated in one of the modules and consideration should be given to reducing load on that module.
  2. Lubrication — low, steady oil px may indicate single pump failure. Continually decreasing pressure may indicate a leak.

Q

Tail drive pinion failure

A

Previous events of a complete loss of lubrication of the main gearbox have shown that the tail drive pinion will likely fail first, resulting in a loss of tail rotor drive in as little as 8 minutes after a catastrophic loss of lubrication.

Drive failures were preceded by a dramatic increase in vibrations and/or noise level, approximately one minute prior to failure.

81
Q

Landings will boost servos off on all single-spot air-capable ships should only be attempted if…

A

If there is no larger landing platform (LPD or larger) or shore base available.

82
Q

The most effective method to arrest the nose down pitching moment of a runaway down stab is…

A

Aft cyclic with constant collective

83
Q

If accelerated flight is continued with the stab in the full down position ________________ will be lost.

A

Longitudinal control

84
Q

The backup attitude indicator will only operate for a maximum of _____________ after battery depletion.

A

9 minutes

85
Q

Where should you attempt to ditch the aircraft overwater in an immediate vs. planned ditching?

A

Immediate — into the prevailing winds and into or just past the crest on the backside of a wave.

Planned — parallel to and near the crest of the swell if there is a crosswind of 25 knots or less. In a strong crosswind, ditch into the wind, making contact on the upslope of the swell near the top.

86
Q

UNUSUAL VIBRATIONS ON DECK

A

*1. Collective — Lower.
*2. PCLs — OFF.
*3. Rotor brake — Apply as required.

CAUTION: Application of the rotor brake may aggravate lead/lag tendencies and cause a mechanical failure.

CAUTION: Continued operations with unusual on-deck vibrations may result in rotor system damage or mechanical failure.
