EOP's - 3-1 to 3-3 Flashcards
DEFINITIONS
* Land Immediately
* Land as soon as practical
Land Immediately
Land on the nearest clear area where a safe normal landing can be performed.
Be prepared to enter autorotation during approach, if required.
Land as soon as practical
Landing site is at pilot’s discretion based on nature of problem and available landing areas.
Flight beyond nearest airport is not recommended.
- *POWER FAILURE - GENERAL**
- *(1st Sentence)**
A power failure may be caused by either an engine or drive system failure and will usually be indicated by the low RPM horn.
- *POWER FAILURE - GENERAL**
- *(2nd Sentence)**
An engine failure may be indicated by
- a change in noise level,
- nose left yaw,
- an oil pressure light,
- or decreasing engine RPM
POWER FAILURE - GENERAL
(3rd Sentence)
A drive system failure may be indicated by
- an unusual noise or vibration, nose right or left yaw,
- or decreasing rotor RPM while engine RPM is increasing
POWER FAILURE - GENERAL
(2nd Paragraph)
In case of power failure,
- immediately lower collective to enter autorotation and
- reduce air speed to power-off V(ne) or below.
CAUTION
(Power Failure - General / #1)
Aft cyclic is required when
collective is lowered at high air speed.
CAUTION
(Power Failure - General / #2)
Do not apply aft cyclic during touchdown or ground slide to prevent possible blade strike to tailcone.
1
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor RPM
2
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
Establish a steady glide at approximately 70 KIAS.
(For maximum glide distance or minimum rate of descent, see page 3-3)
3
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
- Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 108% or
- apply full down collective if light weight prevents attaining above 97%
4
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
- Select landing spot and
- if altitude permits, maneuver so landing will be into wind.
5
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
- A restart may be attempted
- at pilot’s discretion
- if sufficient time is available
- (See “Air Restart Procedure”, page 3-3)
6
POWER FAILURE
ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
- If unable to restart,
- turn necessary switches and fuel valve off
