Q

Flame-out in Flight

A

The symptoms of an engine failure are as follows:
-Left yaw axis
-NR drop (aural warning sounds below 360 rpm).
-Torque at zero.
-Ng falling off to zero.
Generator waring light illuminates.
Engine oil light should also illuminate
- In the event of an engine failure in flight, carry out autorotation procedure.

Q

Relighting the Engine in Flight

A

The normal relighting ceiling is 13000ft but relighting may be attempted throughout the altitude envelope.
- Booster pumps ON
-Generator ON
- Wait until Ng falls below 30% then carry out normal starting procedure.
-In order to avoid any jerk on re-synchronization, accelerate the engine progressively, when free turbine speed approaches rotor speed.

Q

Governor Failures, Large Drop in Fuel Flow Rate

A

Same symptoms as for complete engine failure but after a few seconds, Ng stabilizes at a low rpm value (less than 70%)
- Establish autorotation IAS 65 kt,
-advance the fuel flow control into the
emergency sector. Ng and t4 should rise.
- Control engine speed to 70% Ng.
- If necessary, increase collective pitch to bring rotor speed to 350 rpm.
- Increase fuel flow until rotor speed is approximately 380 rpm.
- Trim collective pitch and fuel flow control to hold level flight at this rotor speed.
-Shallow approach , at lAS = 65 kt
-hold NR at (394 rpm) using the fuel flow control.
-In final approach, reduce forward speed without touching the fuel flow control. The rotor speed will drop when the collective pitch is increased on touchdown. After touchdown, reduce the fuel flow control setting before decreasing the collective pitch.

Q

Governor Failures, Excessive Fuel Flow Rate

A

Ng, t4, NR and torque increase
- Do not reduce collective pitch.
- Reduce fuel until NR is the center of the green area.
- Continue the flight with the governor out of action. Reduction of collective=increase in NR which must be counteracted by adjusting the fuel flow control position.
-set up shallow approach , at lAS = 65 kt, holding NR 394 rpm using the fuel flow control. In final approach, reduce forward speed without touching the fuel flow control. The rotor speed will drop when the collective pitch is increased on touchdown. After touchdown, reduce the fuel flow control setting before decreasing the collective pitch.

Q

Governor Failures, Surging

A

Surging is evidenced by hunting of the rpm, torque and t4 indications and jerks in the yaw axis.
- Reduce collective pitch setting.
- If surging persists while fuel pressure and engine oil pressure are correct, reduce fuel flow slightly to leave the governed range.
- If surging still persists, Land as soon as POSSIBLE and Shut down engine if rotor and engine dont stay joined

Q

Smoke in the Cabin

A
  • If source of smoke is identified.
    Shut off the corresponding system.
    If necessary, use the fire extinguisher. Air the cabin by opening:
    The front vent.
    The ventilation ports.
    The bad weather windows.
    Continue flight depending on failed system.
  • If source of smoke is not identified.
    Shut off the heating and demisting system. If the smoke does not clear:
    Electrical master “ALL OFF” switch.
    When smell disappears, set all switches “OFF”, including the generator, close the cabin ventilators.
    Reset battery to “ON”
    Reset the “ALL OFF” electrical switch to normal position. Switch on the generator, check voltage and current.
    If everything is normal, switch on the circuits one by one until the malfunction is identified.

Q

Tail Rotor Drive Failure in a Hover or at Low Speed

A
  • IGE: Bring the aircraft to the ground by reducing collective pitch before the yaw rate
    is too high.
  • OGE: Reduce collective pitch moderately to reduce yaw torque and simultaneously start to increase speed.
    General note - LANDING IS EASIER WITH WIND COMING FROM THE RIGHT. IF THE AIR-SPEED IS LOWER THAN 20 KTS (36 KM/H), GO-AROUND IS IMPOSSIBLE DUE TO THE LOSS OF EFFICIENCY OF THE FIN. failure results in left yaw

Q

High Engine Oil Temperature

A
  • At low speed or in Hover
    Land if possible.
    Stop the engine.
    Check that the cooler fan operates. If landing is impossible:
    Fly at approximately 80 kts.
    The temperature should fall rapidly.
    If this result is not obtained, land as soon as POSSIBLE.
  • In Cruising Flight Reduce power
    Land if possible.
    Stop the engine.
    Check that the cooler fan operates. If landing is impossible:
    Fly at approximately 80 kts.
    The temperature should fall rapidly.
    If this result is not obtained, land as soon as POSSIBLE.
20
Q

  • In the event of an indicator failure do not exceed the maximum authorized torque value, and keep the t4 temperature below the following limits:
    OAT T4 limit
    Below 15°C-730°C
    Above 15°C-750°C
22
Q

T4 indicator failure

A

  • Do not attempt to start the engine.
23
Q

Nr/Nf readings below green arc

A
  • Nf and NR values agree
    Excessive power demand: reduce collective pitch. Indicator reading should rise to governed value.
    If not, follow procedures for a governor failure.
24
Q

Different NR/Nf readings

A
  • NR reading exceeds Nf
    NR reading is incorrect, proceed as in the event of rotor rpm indicator failure except in autorotation.
  • Nf reading exceeds NR
    On the ground during the starting sequence:
    Reduce the engine fuel flow control setting to check for possible freewheel slippage.
    In flight
    NR reading is probably incorrect, proceed as in the event of a rotor rpm indicator failure.
25
Q

Rotor RPM Indicator Failure

A
  • In the event of a complete loss of NR indication:
    Maintain engine torque above 10%:
    NR reading is given by the Nf pointer.

    If rotation about the yaw axis, cut off hydraulic pressure by actuating the switch situated on the collective pitch control lever.
  • In cruising flight: Reduce speed, entering into a side-slip if necessary, then cut off hydraulic pressure by actuating the switch situated on the collective pitch control lever.
29
Q

Main Servo-control Slide-valve Seizure

A
  • Actuate the switch, situated on the collective pitch control lever, to cut off hydraulic pressure.
    -Load feedback will be felt immediately.

    Avoid sudden changes in power settings.
36
Q

GENE Light (DC power supply failure)

A

-Check the DC voltage.
-Check the position of the push-button.
-Attempt to reset.
-If unsuccessful:
Shed the least essential consumer circuits; continue flight according to circumstances, keeping a close check on voltage (22 volts minimum). Land as soon as PRACTICABLE.

37
Q

BATT LIGHT (Battery isolated from the DC network, no longer charging)

A

-Check the push-button (ON).
-If OFF: Switch ON and continue flight
If ON: Monitor voltage and land as soon as PRACTICABLE.

38
Q

    -(Approximately 18 minutes level flight remain at maximum continuous power).
42
Q

FUEL FILT Light (Fuel filter clogging)

A
  • Reduce engine power.
    If light goes out, continue flight at reduced power. If light remains on: Land as soon as POSSIBLE.
43
Q

FUEL P Light (Fuel pressure lower than 0.2 bar on either or both pumps)

A
  • Check fuel pressure:
    If pressure is normal, only one pump is faulty: Continue flight
    If pressure is zero, both pumps are faulty: Continue flight at an altitude lower than 5000 ft.
44
Q

Continuous Horn

A
  • Reduce collective pitch.
  • Reduce speed, and level up
    If the HYD light is on, the malfunction is in the hydraulics system;
    Refer to procedure for illumination of the HYD light.
    If reducing collective pitch and speed has muted the horn, the malfunction was a drop in rotor speed below 360 rpm.
    -This can logically only occur subsequently to an engine failure, when the fuel flow control is in the “flight” detent.
    -Check the engine parameters, applying collective pitch very gradually.
45
Q

Intermittent Horn

A
  • If NR above 410 rpm: Slightly increase collective pitch in order to not exceed 430 rpm.
