Fam 3 Flashcards
Ground resonance causes
- CG of rotating blades traversing off-center (abnormal lead/lag blade condition)
- Blade is badly out of track
- Malfunctioning damper
- Peculiar set of landing conditions (?)
Ground resonance procedure
- Immediately reduce collective
- PCLs - OFF
- rotor brake - ON
- brakes - apply
Hung droop stops
- Reengage rotor to greater than 75% Nr
Note: when operating in cold weather, consideration should be given to turning BLADE DE-ICE control panel power to the power on position. This will activate the droop-stop heaters and aid the droop stops in seating
When is the LOW ROTOR RPM warning activated
When vertical instrument is less than 96% (avoid range)
What are some notes assoicated with the rotor brake caution EP?
- Consideration should be given to performing the applicable steps of the Immediate Landing/Ditching emergency procedure
- A minimum power airspeed and low altitude flight profile is recommended (80’/80 KIAS) to permit a quick flare followed by ditching should a fire occur
- Secondary indications include: smoke, fire, and noises
MAIN XMSN OIL HOT caution
MGB oil temp sensor activated when >/= 117°C
MAIN XMSN PRESS HI caution
MGB oil px > 130 psi on vertical instruments
MAIN XMSN PRESS LOW caution
Xmsn oil px sensor in #1 accessory module activated when <14psi
1/#2 ACCESORY CHIP caution
Chips detected in accessory module
MAIN XMSN CHIP caution
Chips detected in MGB sump
MAIN XMSN OIL HOT advisory
- Caution is NOT triggered
2. MGB oil temp is >/= 105°C on VERTICAL INSTRUMENTS
MAIN XMSN PRESS HI advisory
- Caution NOT triggered
2. MGB oil px between 65-130psi
MAIN XMSN PRESS LO advisory
- Caution NOT triggered
- MGB oil px = 30psi on VERTICAL INSTRUMENT
- NR >/= 25%
Possible indications of main transmission imminent failure include
- Yaw attitude excursions with no control input
- Increased power required for a fixed collective setting
- Failure of main generator or hydraulic pump
- Increased noise
- Increased vibration levels
- Abnormal fumes in the cabin
Main transmission 2nd warning
Operation of the main gearbox with no oil px may result in failure of the tail rotor drive takeoff pinion gear and subsequent loss of tail rotor drive
