Emergencies Flashcards
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Land at the nearest suitable landing area (e.g. open field) without delay. (The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of the occupants).
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
Land at a suitable landing area. (The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency).
AUTOROTATE
Adjust the flight controls as necessary to establish an autorotational descent and landing.
EMER ENG SHUTDOWN
Engine shutdown without delay. Engine shutdown in flight is usually not an immediate-action item unless a fire exists.
LOCKOUT
Manual control of engine RPM while bypassing DEC/EDECU functions. Bypass of the engine control will be required when NP1 or 2 decreases below normal demand speed due to a malfunction of the DEC/EDECU.
LOCKOUT - ENG POWER CONT LEVER
WARNING
Going to LOCKOUT to obtain additional power does not remove Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits. NR will decrease below normal operating range if Maximum Fuel Flow or NG limits are exceeded.
CAUTION
When engine is controlled with ENG POWER CONT lever in LOCKOUT, engine response is much faster and TGT limiting system is inoperative. Maintain NR within normal operating
range.
ENG POWER CONT lever — Pull down
and advance full forward while maintaining downward pressure, then adjust to set NR as required.
Engine control malfunctions can result in NR increasing or decreasing from normal demand speed. Under certain failure conditions, Q, NP, and NG may not be indicating and the possibility of the ENG OUT warning light and audio activating exists. The most reliable indication of engine power will be TGT.
DUAL ENGINE FAILURE
1 x WARNING
- AUTOROTATE
WARNING:
Do not respond to ENG OUT warning lights and audio until checking TGT and NR.
SINGLE ENGINE FAILURE
2 x WARNING
- Achieve safe single engine airspeed (if possible)
- External cargo/stores - Jettison (if possible)
Urgency to Land:
If continued flight is not possible:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
If continued flight is possible:
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
WARNING:
1. Marginal Power
2. Do not respond to ENG OUT warning lights and audio until checking TGT, NG, and NP.
FIRE
APU / ELECTRICAL / ENGINE
2 x WARNING
IF ENG EMER OFF Handle/APU fire T-handle illuminates in flight:
- Airspeed adjust to 80KIAS or less
- ENG POWER CONT Lever - OFF
- ENG EMER OFF handle/APU fire T-handle - Pull (as appropriate)
- FIRE EXTGH switch - MAIN/RESERVE (as required)
If an electrical fire is present:
1. BATT and GENERATORS switches - OFF
Urgency to Land:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
WARNING
1. Visually Confirm
2. If AC power not available, only RESERVE can be discharged, and #2 engine capability will be lost.
COUPLED FLIGHT DIRECTOR MALFUNCTION
Any uncommanded changes in pitch, roll, and yaw other than those observed in normal flight conditions while coupled to the flight director
- RMT SBY switch - Press to disengage FD modes
If coupled FD does not disengage:
2. CPLD switch - Press the uncouple FD
If coupled FD does not disengage:
3. FPS and TRIM switches - OFF
After FD is uncoupled:
4. FPS and TRIM switches - ON
ENGINE CONTROL MALFUNCTION - (DEC / EDECU) LOW SIDE FAILURE
Decreasing NR (Low Rotor RPM)
Low Q/TGT malfunctioning engine and high Q/TGT on other engine
2 x WARNING
1 x CAUTION
1 x NOTE
If NR continues to decrease and single engine flight is not possible:
1. ENG POWER CONT lever (lowQ/TGT engine) - LOCKOUT
(Maintain Q approximately 10% below other engine)
Urgency to Land:
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
STABILATOR UNCOMMANDED NOSE DOWN PITCH ATTITUDE CHANGE
1 x WARNING
- Cyclic mounted stabilator slew-up switch - Adjust (as required to arrest nose down pitch rate)
Urgency to Land:
- LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
FLIGHT CONTROL / ROTOR SYSTEM VIBRATIONS OR MALFUNCTIONS ON GROUND
1 x WARNING
- ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF
- ENG FUEL SYS selectors - OFF
- FUEL BOOST PUMP switches - OFF
Subsequent Actions:
Rotor Brake - As required
FLIGHT CONTROL / ROTOR SYSTEM VIBRATIONS OR MALFUNCTIONS IN FLIGHT
1 x WARNING
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
(consider reducing airspeed)
AFTER LANDING:
2. ENG POWER CONT levers - OFF
3. ENG FUEL SYS selectors - OFF
4. FUEL BOOST PUMP switches - OFF
5. Rotor Brake - As required
LIGHTNING STRIKE
1 x WARNING
- ENG POWER CONT levers - Adjust (as required to control NP and NR)
Urgency to Land:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
If practical, the pilot should reduce speed to 80 KIAS
- TGT limiting and engine overspeed protection may not function
