EPs VEMD Flashcards
HYD
HYD
Failure Indication: Warning of the pressure drop is also confirmed by sounding of the horn in the cabin.
-In Flight:
1) Reduce collective pitch & adjust airspeed to 40-60kts
2) Cut-off hydraulics using collective lever switch
*Horn will stop sounding Nr warning still active
3) Shallow approach run-on landing
-In Hover: Land normally and shut down engine
BAT
BAT
Failure Indication: Battery isolated from D.C. network or no longer charging
Procedure:
1) Check the push-button (ON)
2) Keep a watch on voltage
3) Continue flight, according to circumstances
MGB.P
MGB.P
Failure: Main gearbox oil minimum pressure.
Procedure:
1) Reduce Power
2) Land as soon as possible
Note: The MGB has successfully passed a bench test consisting in running the gearbox for 45 min. with 0 oil pressure @ pwr corresponding to minimum power in level flight.
HORN
HORN
Failure Indication: Horn not set
Procedure:
1) Set the horn by actuating the push-button situated on the control pedestal panel
*Note without the HORN you will have no audio indication of low Nr or failure of the hydraulic system
MGB.T
MGB.T
Failure Indication: Main gearbox oil max. temperature >115°C
Procedure:
1) Test the warning caution advisory panel checking the MGB.P light.
* If the MGB.P light does not illuminate, proceed as for MGB oil pressure at 0.
* If the MGB.P light illuminates, land and check the M.G.B. oil level. If the oil level is normal, fly to the nearest base.
FUEL
FUEL
Failure Indication: Fuel quantity less than 15.8 gal.
Procedure:
1) Avoid large attitude changes
Note: Remaining usable fuel allows approximately 18 minutes level flight at maximum continuous power.
ENG P
ENG P
Failure Indication: Engine oil pressure alarm.
Procedure:
1) Reduce Power
2) Check ENG oil pressure indicator
* If pressure is low or zero read Tq gauge:
- Very low autorotate shut-down engine
- Normal LAND IMMEDIATELY
* If both pressure and Tq readings are correct, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
PITOT
PITOT Failure Indication: Pitot heating system not energized Procedure: 1) Check the push-button (ON) 2) Monitor airspeed indicator
GEN
GEN
Failure Indication: D.C. power supply failure *; Overvoltage detected.
Procedure:
1) Test the D.C. voltage.
2) Check the position of the GEN push-button
3) Attempt to reset: Shed least essential consumers; continue flight, according to circumstances, watch voltage 22 min.
Max. flt time on BAT only Day:50min.;Night:20min.**
4) LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
* Remote locations check fuses after landing. Use replacements
** Functions that MUST be ON when flying on the battery only:
Day=BAT, fuel pumps, radio ; Night = Day plus lights, horizon
DOORS
DOORS
Failure Indication: One or both baggage hold side doors unlocked
Procedure:
1) Reduce airspeed (120 kt maximum)
2) Check visually that doors are closed
3) If one or both doors are open, or if checking is impossible
4) LAND IF POSSIBLE, or continue flight at reduced speed
ENG CHIP
ENG CHIP
Failure Indication: Metal particles in engine oil system
Procedure:
1) LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
* It is prohibited to take off again as long as the checks scheduled in maintenance manual have not been performed
FUEL P
FUEL P
Failure Indication: Fuel pressure lower than .2 bar on either or both pumps
Procedure:
1) Check fuel pressure gauge
- If pressure is normal, only one pump is faulty : flight may be continued
- If pressure is zero, both pumps are faulty : flight may be continued at an altitude lower than 5000 ft
F FILTER
F FILTER
Failure: Fuel filter clogging
Procedure:
1) Reduce power
- If light goes out, continue flight at reduced power
- If light remains on, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Land at the nearest site at which a safe landing can be made.
CHIP MGB
CHIP MGB
Failure Indication: Metal particles detected in main gearbox
Procedure:
1) Reduce power
2) Monitor MGB P and MGB T lights.
- Should either or both lights illuminate refer to those procedures.
