Emergencies Flashcards
Engine Fire on Start (uncontrolled increase of T4)
CLOSE fuel shut off valve rotor brake ON boost pumps OFF CRANK for 10 seconds evacuate passengers battery OFF extinguish fire
Fire in Flight
FIRE light ON
(smoke trail, smell, inc T4, erratic eng indications)
confirm fire
Autorotate
CLOSE fuel shut off
boost pumps OFF
generator OFF
radio call MAYDAY brief passengers master OFF if smell of burning ventilate cabin shutdown and evacuate
Smoke in the Cabin
smoke, burning smell, electrical malfunction
radio call - MAYDAY Land ASAP if smoke source identified turn off affected system ventilate cabin if smoke source not identified heater/demister OFF electrical master "ALL OFF" OFF if smoke clears all switches inc generator - OFF reset battery ON reset electrical master ON generator ON - check voltage switch on circuits one by one until malfunction identified
Tail Rotor Drive Failure in Flight
Uncontrolled left yaw
Noises
Vibration
reduce collective and maintain forward speed
find a/s power setting to maintain level flight
select landing sight
Steep approach
FFC off on final and autorotate
landing at lowest possible speed
Tail Rotor Drive Failure in Hover or low speed
noises
vibration
uncontrolled left yaw
IGE - reduce collective to land
OGE - reduce collective moderately
use cyclic to pick up speed into wind
steep approach
Tail Rotor Control Failure
landing made easier with wind from right
with airspeed lower than 20 kts go around impossible
pedal jam or disconnected
Airspeed to 70 its
HDY TEST BUTTON press for 5 sec to neutralize t/r
pedals the reset to normal
shallow approach with nose to the right (side slip left)
side slip reduces with inc collective on landing
gentle cyclic flare with run on landing in a clear area
Tail Rotor Control Failure
(stuck pedal)
landing is made easier by a wind coming from the right. if airspeed is lower than 20 kts go around is impossible due to the loss of efficiency of the fin
set 70 kts level flight
press HDY TEST switch for 5 sec then reset to neutralize t/r pedals
shallow approach at 70 kts with left
side slip to run on ldg
The side slip will be reduced as power is applied
Collective HDY button
powers isolation solenoid which isolates the 3 main servos
no boost in cyclic, boost in pedals
Panel HDY button
isolates the HDY distribution block
boost provided by accumulators - pedals stiff
Engine Failure in Hover IGE
rh yaw, horn,Zero Tq, Nr 360 dec, T4 dec, Ng dec
gen light, eop drop & light
IGE maintain heading with pedals
control drift with cyclic
control rate of descent cushion landing with collective
reduce collective as soon as a/c on the ground
Engine Failure in Hover OGE
rh yaw, horn,Zero Tq, Nr 360 dec, T4 dec, Ng dec
gen light, eop drop & light
OGE reduce collective to initiate descent
forward cyclic to gain airspeed according to height
collective and cyclic to flare or cushion landing
radio call
shutdown & evacuate
Engine Failure in Flight
rh yaw, horn,Zero Tq, Nr 360 dec, T4 dec, Ng dec
gen light, eop drop & light
lower collective - autorotate rotor - Nr 320-430 speed - 65-80 kts spot - turn into wind/select landing site trim radio call Mayday passenger brief
fuel shut off valve OFF boost pumps OFF generator OFF master switch off (if smell of burning) flare, land, shutdown & evacuate
Governor Failure Low Side
large drop in fuel flow rate
horn, low Tq, Nr 360 dec, Ng dec then stabilizes <70%
establish autorotation
rotor Nr 320-430
speed 65-80 kts max 125 kts
spot turn into wind/select landing site
trim
Fuel Flow Control - advance slowly into gate to 70% Ng
Ng and T4 should rise
Collective - increase pitch to decrease Nr to 350
Fuel Flow Control - increase to 380 Nr
Trim Collective & FFC - to hold level flight at 380 Nr
to inc power - inc coll pitch to lower Nr to 350,
then inc FFC to 380 Nr etc
to dec power - reduce FFC to 350 Nr
then dec coll pitch to inc 380 Nr etc
low approach at 65 kts/394 Nr
reduce forward speed & land
FFC shutdown before lowering collective
Governor Failure High Side
Ng inc, T4 inc, Tq inc
DO NOT LOWER COLLECTIVE
FFC - reduce to get Nr in the middle of the green arc
Trim Collective & FFC - to mainain level flight at 380 Nr
continue flight out of governor range
to inc power - inc coll pitch to lower Nr to 350, then inc FFC to 380 Nr etc
to dec power - reduce FFC to 350 Nr then dec coll pitch to inc 380 Nr etc
low approach at 65 kts/394 Nr
reduce forward speed & land
FFC shutdown before lowering collective
Governor Failure Surging
Nr,Tq,Ng,T4 oscillations, jerks in yaw axis
reduce collective pitch
if surging continues - reduce FFC to leave governor range
if surging persists - land asap
if uncontrollable - autorotate
to inc power - inc coll pitch to lower Nr to 350,
then inc FFC to 380 Nr etc
to dec power - reduce FFC to 350 Nr
then dec coll pitch to inc 380 Nr etc
low approach at 65 kts/394 Nr
reduce forward speed & land
FFC shutdown before lowering collective
