Emergency Procedures Flashcards
Define Land as soon as Practical
Landing site and duration of flight is at pilots discretion. Extended flight beyond nearest approved landing area not recommended.
Define Land as soon as Possible
Land without delay at the nearest suitable landing area where a safe approach and landing can be reasonably ensured.
What should you do if transmission oil temp or pressure comes on in flight?
Reduce power, verify fault, Land as Soon as Possible
Approximately how much fuel do we burn an hour?
285lbs per hour
How much usable fuel do we have when the low fuel light comes on?
10 gallons (APROX. 67lbs) of fuel remaining
What do we do if we get a chip light on in flight?
Land as soon as possible.
How do we confirm we have a generator failure?
Check DC load dropped to zero.
If it has, GEN switch - RESET then ON
If not restored GEN switch - OFF, Land as soon as Practical
What is maximum glide airspeed for an autorotation?
69 KTS,
Nominal airspeed is 61 KTS
What are the indications of an engine over speed?
Increase in rotor, N1,N2, & torque
If you experience pops in engine with erratic tot, N1 and N2 as well as torque oscillat it and what should you do?
Compressor Stall
Reduce Power
Watch for TOT and Gas Producer stablize,
Anti Ice - ON
Land as soon as Practical
If engine oil pressure is high, low or fluctuating what should you do?
If engine oil pressure is below minimum or above maximum, and as Soon as Possible.
If engine oil pressure fluctuates but does not exceed a limit, monitor engine oil pressure and temperature and Land as Soon as Practical.
What airspeed should you fly if you have a hydraulic failure?
60-80 KTS
Why do you pull the Hydraulic circuit breaker in a failure?
It take power to close the valve that shuts off hydraulics. By pulling the breaker you take power from the valve and will no longer be held shut.
What is MINIMUM airspeed to hold during an autorotation in case of a tail rotor failure?
52 KTS
Discuss stuck pedal.
This is a situation involving inability to change tail rotor thrust (blade angle) with anti-torque pedals due to a mechanical problem with anti-torque system.
INDICATIONS:
1. Lack of directional response.
2. Locked pedals.
NOTE:
If pedals cannot be moved with a moderate amount of force, do not attempt to apply a maximum effort, since a more seriousmalfunction could result. If helicopter is in a trimmed
condition when malfunction is discovered, TORQUE and AIRSPEED should be noted and helicopter flown to a suitable landing area. Combinations of TORQUE, ROTOR RPM, and AIRSPEED will correct or aggravate a yaw attitude, and
these are what will be used to land helicopter.
