Rotary Wing Instrument Flight Maneuvers: An aircraft is flown in instrument flight by controlling __________ and ____________, as necessary to produce desired performance.
Rotary Wing Instrument Flight Maneuvers: An aircraft is flown in instrument flight by controlling attitude and power, as necessary to produce desired performance.
“Primary and Supporting Methods” and “Aircraft Control”: What are the four elements of control?
“Primary and Supporting Methods” and “Aircraft Control”: What are the four elements of control?
- Pitch
- Bank
- Power
- Trim
Which instrument should always be used if available because it instantly portrays the actual bank and pitch of the aircraft and is the central focus of a good cross-check?
Which instrument should always be used if available because it instantly portrays the actual bank and pitch of the aircraft and is the central focus of a good cross-check?
Attitude Indicator
Cross-check: In general, the most important instruments to watch during any particular maneuver associated with Tasks 1166.01 through 1166.06 are those ______________________.
Cross-check: In general, the most important instruments to watch during any particular maneuver associated with Tasks 1166.01 through 1166.06 are those that are to be held constant.
Concerning straight and level:
In calm air the aircraft will _________ heading and altitude with ____ input from pilot, if the attitude and power are set properly.
Deviations in altitude (<____ ft) should be corrected by adjusting pitch attitude with the cyclic beep trim switch if airspeed can be maintained within +/- ___ KIAS. In all other cases a power change should be made.
Concerning straight and level:
In calm air the aircraft will maintain heading and altitude with no input from pilot, if the attitude and power are set properly.
Deviations in altitude (< 100 ft) should be corrected by adjusting pitch attitude with the cyclic beep trim switch if airspeed can be maintained within +/- 5 KIAS. In all other cases a power change should be made.
Concerning climbs and descents:
A change of approximately one (1) FLI will result in a ____ FPM climb or descent. This equates to a ___% change in torque from cruise flight.
Level off should be accomplished by adjusting power to cruise torque beginning ___ feet (___% of the rate of climb or descent) prior to the desired altitude.
Concerning climbs and descents:
A change of approximately one (1) FLI will result in a 500 FPM climb or descent. This equates to a 10% change in torque from cruise flight.
Level off should be accomplished by adjusting power to cruise torque beginning 50 feet (10% of the rate of climb or descent) prior to the desired altitude.
Concerning a standard rate turn:
A. The turn is initiated with reference to what instrument?
B. The desired angle of bank is how many degrees and why?
C. In a standard rate turn how many degrees does the aircraft heading change per second / in 10 seconds / in one minute?
Concerning a standard rate turn:
A. The turn is initiated with reference to what instrument?
Attitude Indicator
B. The desired angle of bank is how many degrees and why?
~14 deg at 90 kts because: 90/10+half the result = 9+4.5 = 13.5 deg ~ 14 deg
C. In a standard rate turn how many degrees does the aircraft heading change per second / in 10 seconds / in one minute?
3deg/s 30deg/10s 180deg/1min
A. What is the maximum bank angle reccommended under instrument conditions?
B. When making turns to a predetermined heading “the bank angle should never exceed” what?
A. What is the maximum bank angle reccommended under instrument conditions?
CMP: Standard rate turn angle
TC 3-04.5: 30 deg bank
B. When making turns to a predetermined heading “the bank angle should never exceed” what?
Should not exceed the number of degrees being turned
Roll beep trim banks the aircraft at about ___ degrees per second. The trim switch must be held for a little over ___ seconds to establish a standard rate turn at 90 kts. The aircraft continues to roll for several degrees after the switch is released so desired roll attitudes must be led by releasing the switch several degrees _______. Begin rolling out of a turn by an amount equal to _____ the angle of bank (approximately ___ degrees for a standard rate turn at 90 kts).
Roll beep trim banks the aircraft at about 4 degrees per second. The trim switch must be held for a little over 3 seconds to establish a standard rate turn at 90 kts. The aircraft continues to roll for several degrees after the switch is released so desired roll attitudes must be led by releasing the switch several degrees early. Begin rolling out of a turn by an amount equal to 1/2 the angle of bank (approximately 7 degrees for a standard rate turn at 90 kts).
