EC130 B4 Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Land immediately
Self explanatory. Land even if not completely safe to do so.
Land as soon as possible
Urgent. Land at nearest landing site at which a safe landing can be made.
Land as soon as practicable
Less urgent. At pilot’s judgement, proceed to nearest airfield where he can expect appropriate assistance.
Continue flight
Continue flight as planned. Repair at destination.
Continuous tone
310hz tone when NR below 360 rpm
285hz tone when max takeoff is exceeded or about to be exceeded
Collective - REDUCE
Engine parameters - CHECK
Intermittent Tone
310hz intermittent tone when NR above 410 rpm
Collective - INCREASE to maintain normal operating NR
Engine Flame Out in Cruise Flight (over land)
- Collective - REDUCE to maintain normal NR
- IAS - Vy
If relighting impossible or after loss of TR thrust:
3. Twist grip - IDLE
4. Maneuver aircraft into the wind on final approach
At 70 feet AGL:
5. Cyclic - FLARE
At 20-25 feet and at constant attitude:
5. COLLECTIVE - GRADUALLY INCREASE to reduce rate of descent and forward speed
7. CYCLIC - FORWARD for slightly nose up landing attitude (under 10 deg)
8. PEDALS - ADJUST to counter sideslip tendency
9. COLLECTIVE - INCREASE to cushion touchdown
After touchdown:
10. CYCLIC COLLECTIVE PEDALS - ADJUST to control ground run
Once aircraft has stopped:
11. COLLECTIVE - FULL DOWN
12. ROTOR BRAKE - APPLY below 170 Nr
Autorotation Over Water
Apply same procedure as over land, except items 10, 11 and 12, but maneuver to head the aircraft equally between the wind and wave direction on final approach. Ditch with minimum forward speed (IAS < 30 kt (56 km/h)) and rate of descent. Then apply
following check- list for items 10, 11, 12.
After touch-down
10. Collective - MAINTAIN
11. Forward doors emergency
handles - PULL-UP
12. Doors - JETTISON or OPEN
13. Rotor brake - APPLY
Abandon aircraft once the rotor has stopped.
Engine Flame Out in a Hover
- Collective - MAINTAIN
- Pedals - CONTROL YAW
- Collective - INCREASE as needed to cushion touch-down
Engine Flame-out Hover OGE
- Collective - FULL LOW PITCH
- When NR stops decreasing
2. Cyclic - FORWARD to gain airspeed according to available height
3. Autorotation procedure - APPLY
In-Flight Relighting
According to available height and cause of flame-out:
- FUEL PUMP or FUEL P - ON
- Engine starting selector - OFF position
- Engine starting selector -ON position
The relighting sequence will therefore be automatically carried out as soon as Ng < 17 %.
- After relighting procedure
- FUEL PUMP or FUEL P - OFF
At least 1000 ft (300 m) are necessary to complete relighting procedure after flame-out.
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust - Hover IGE (or OGE within H/V diagram)
LAND IMMEDIATELY
- Twist Grip - IDLE position
- Collective - INCREASE to cushion touch-down
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust - Hover OGE (Clear area out of H/V diagram)
Simultaneously,
- Collective - REDUCE depending on available
height - Cyclic - FORWARD to gain speed
- Airspeed - MAINTAIN Vy or higher
- Collective - ADJUST to obtain minimum
sideslip angle
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
If a go-around has been performed, carry out an autorotative landing on a suitable area as landing procedure.
Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust in Cruise Flight
- Airspeed - MAINTAIN Vy or higher
- Collective - ADJUST to obtain minimum sideslip angle
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
APPROACH AND LANDING
On a suitable area for autorotative landing:
- Twist grip - IDLE position
- Carry out an autorotative landing according to the autorotation procedure
(Refer to SECTION 3.2 § 1).
Loss of Tail Rotor Control (jammed pedals)
Symptom: Jamming of pedals or loss of pedal effectiveness. These conditions make it impossible to change tail rotor thrust with the pedals.
WARNING:
LANDING IS MADE EASIER WITH A RH WIND COMPONENT.
WHEN AIRSPEED IS LESS THAN 20 KT (37 KM/H), GO-AROUND IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO LOSS OF VERTICAL FIN EFFICIENCY.
- Cyclic and collective - ADJUST to set IAS to 70 kt
(130 km/h) in level flight
On a suitable area for a running landing procedure:
Make a shallow approach with a slight left sideslip. Perform a running landing. The sideslip will be reduced progressively as airspeed is reduced and collective is applied to
cushion the landing.
