A

LAND IMMEDIATELY

Or ditch. Self explanatory

19
Q

GOV failed LOW

A

GOV failed LOW
Failure Indication: Looks like an engine failure except after a few seconds Ng stabilizes at a low rpm value (less than 70%)
Procedure:
1) Est. Auto airspeed (65 kts) then advance fuel flow control into emergency sector (fwd). Ng and T4 should rise.
2) Control engine speed to 70% Ng
3) If necessary, increase collective to bring rotor speed to 350
4) Increase fuel flow until rotor is approx. 380 rpm
5) Trim collective and fuel flow control to hold level flight at this rotor speed

20
Q

GOV failed HIGH

A

GOV failed HIGH
Failure Indication: Ng, T4, Nr and Tq increases
Procedure:
1) Do not reduce collective
2) Reduce fuel flow until rotor is in the center of the green arc
3) Continue flight with governor out of action. Any reduction in collective will result in an increase in Nr which must be countered with fuel flow control position.
*Approach and landing should be shallow at 65 kts holding Nr in upper portion of green arc using the FFC. Reduce forward speed don’t touch FFC Nr will drop when collective is raised for touchdown. Reduce FFC first after touchdown before collective.

21
Q

GOV surging

A

GOV surging
Failure Indication: Surging is evidence by hunting of the RPM, Tq, and T4 indications and jerks in the yaw axis.
Procedure:
1) Change the 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.

22
Q

A

ENGINE FIRE during START
Failure Indication: During Start flames are visible or illumination of the FIRE warning light
Procedure during START:
1) Close emergency fuel shut-off lever and apply rotor brake
2) Switch off booster pumps
3) Crank engine for 10 seconds then switch off battery
4) Use the extinguisher to fight the fire

23
Q

ENGINE FIRE FLIGHT

A

ENGINE FIRE FLIGHT
Failure: FIRE light illuminated
Procedure:
1) Enter autorotation
2) Close the fuel shut-off lever to shut down engine
3) Switch off booster pumps & generator

26
Q

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE

in hover

A

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE in hover
Failure: Hovering aircraft yaws left.
Procedure Hover or Low Speed:
IGE:
1) Bring aircraft to the ground by reducing collective before the yaw rate is too high.
OGE:
1) Reduce collective moderately, to reduce yaw torque, and simultaneously start to pick up speed.
Landing via Papillon trained method or AUTOROTATE.

27
Q

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE

via PAPILLON

A

TAIL ROTOR DRIVE FAILURE via PAPILLON
Failure Indication: Yaw to the left.
4 Phase maneuver:
1) Recognition (stuck pedal or complete failure)
2) Approach at 65 kts very shallow this phase ends at 2 feet
3) Stabilization. Using airspeed to align nose with runway. If nose is stuck to the right SLOW DOWN slightly. If stuck to the left SPEED UP slightly.
4) Landing. Once nose is stable and aligned with runway slight forward cyclic to achieve landing.
5) On the ground use collective to control nose. Up nose left down nose right.

28
Q

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE

before servo

A

TAIL ROTOR CONTROL FAILURE
Failure Indication: Breakage before tail rotor servo
Procedure:
1) Set airspeed to 65 – 70 kts
2) Press HYD TEST (max 5 sec) this may better align the nose of the aircraft assuming a large pedal input was made just prior to failure (most preferable w stuck left or neutral)
3) Shallow approach to a run-on landing.
*Control nose using airspeed. Stuck to right slow down; stuck to left speed up.

29
Q

NO FUEL PRESSURE INDICATION

A

NO FUEL PRESSURE INDICATION
Failure Indication: No fuel pressure on gauge. No illumination of FUEL P light
Procedure:
1) If the warning light for FUEL P is working after testing panel then the gauge has failed.
2) Flight may be continued
