Fam Maneuvers Flashcards
Running Takeoff
MDG: Note torque required for a 10 ft hover. Simulated power available is 10% less than 10 ft hover torque. C-power on. Apply 25% torque to start forward roll. Increase to 30-35%. Maintain WOW until passing through effective translational lift. Lift up ad remain in ground effect until reaching 50 KIAS.
NATOPS: this maneuver should be used under conditions of high gross weight and high DA where power available may not be sufficient to make a vertical takeoff. Same concepts apply, but no specific numbers are given.
Max Gross Weight Takeoff
MDG: simulated power available is 10 ft hover torque. Establish 5 ft hover.
NATOPS: C-power should be selected. Position aircraft into the wind. While slowly increasing forward cyclic, max power shall be smoothly applied to continue the takeoff, gradually accelerating and maintaining the low hover altitude. As translational lift is achieved, adjust the nose to begin an accelerating climb. The climbout should remain shallow util 50 KIAS to ensure best single-engine performance characteristics.
Obstacle Clearance Takeoff
NATOPS: Coordinated climb up to torque or TGT limits. Clearance from obstacles is the objective, not rapidity. Crewman should be positioned at the cabin door to ensure tail rotor clearance. HSI hover mode should be used if available.
Normal approach
Commenced from abeam position at 500’ AGL 75-100KIAS so as to arrive at the 90 at 300 ft 60-80 KIAS.
Roll wings level 1000 ft of straightaway at 150-200 ft AGL. Decel attitude until 20 KIAS and 30 ft AGL. At 30ft adjust attitude to set up a 10ft hover.
Steep Approach
A normal approach is flown until reaching the final inbound course to the landing site. 200 ft AGL, 40KGS. Intercept a 20-30* glideslope. Do not exceed 700 FPM on the descent.
Running Landing
NATOPS: adjust airspeed to a value commensurate with gross weight. Do not exceed ground speed limitations. Avoid aerodynamic braking.
Practice Autorotations
Practice autorotation with power recovery below 500 ft AGL shall be accomplished at approved landing areas or airfields when a creash crew is available. “Entry, Flare, Rock, Pull.”
Enter 500 ft 80-85 kts or 95-100 kts. Nr 101-105. Ensure VSI at or below zero, ball centered.
200 ft- initial FLARE. 100 ft- aggressive flare. Rate of descent should be such that it approaches zero as the aircraft arrivs at 60-70ft.
Recovery. Commence no lower than 60 ft AGL. Nose should be lowered to attain hover attitude and eliminate drift. Final recovery is at 20-30ft and 15-20 KGS.
Practice Auto Waveoff Criteria
Waveoffs should be considered in the descent when airspeed slows below 75 KIAS. Waveoff shall be executed if Nr exceeds 110% in the descent.
If the aircraft is not over the runway at 300 ft AGL, Nr exceeds 115% in the flare, or the aircraft is not wings level at 200 ft AGL a waveoff SHALL be executed.
In the flare waveoffs shall be executed when the aircraft balloons excessively, has a high rate of descnt, Nr is accelerating excessively, there is insufficient initial flare, or lateral drift is established.
STAB failure
Execute natops procedures. With the stab slewed to zero degrees, higher nose attitudes will be encountered. To reduce the possibility of a tail strike and increase forward visibility, fly a slow, shallow, and controlled approach to a 20 ft hover.
