Flight EPs Flashcards
1
Q
Hoist Failure
A
- Advise the pilot.
- “CHECK BACKUP PUMP ON” (FM) (copilot performs).
- “CHECK RESCUE HOIST TO ALL” (FM) (copilot performs).
If condition persists: - “GOING TO BACKUP CONTROL” - PUSH ON (FM).
- Complete hoist or abort as required.
After hoist is complete, troubleshoot as follows: - BACKUP CONTROL pushbutton - PUSH OFF (FM).
- Hoist circuit breakers - CHECK/RESET.
a. RESCUE HOIST POWER (CAB R2 #4).
b. RESCUE HOIST CONT (CAB R6 #2).
c. RESCUE HOIST CONT (CAB R6 #9). - Check operation of pendant and grip.
If condition persists: - Disconnect pendant/recheck grip.
2
Q
FOULED CABLE
A
- Immediately pay out cable.
- Advise the pilot.
If injury or damage is imminent: - “SHEAR, SHEAR, SHEAR” (FM).
- EMER REL button - PRESS (P, CP).
- HOIST SHEAR switch - SHEAR (FM).
If injury or damage is not imminent: - Maintain position.
- Attempt to have flight mechanic and boat personnel free cable or
rescue device.
If unable to free device from deck: - Cut cable with cable cutters.
- Abort mission or rig quick splice and continue hoist.
3
Q
RUNAWAY HOIST
A
- Advise the pilot.
- “GOING TO BACKUP CONTROL” - PUSH ON (FM).
If runaway continues: - “SET BACKUP PUMP OFF” (FM) (copilot performs).
- Abort the hoist and make onscene repairs, abort the mission, or take other
action as appropriate.
4
Q
ICS FAILURE
A
- Perform an ICS check, check Hoist Pendant ICS switch and visually
inspect cord. If in position to safely do so, retrieve the device (FM). - Perform an ICS check, check PTT and cord (P).
- Slowly move aircraft to establish visual reference with the hoisting
area (P). - Pay out slack - As required (FM).
- Troubleshoot ICS malfunction.
If ICS malfunction is corrected, proceed with normal hoist procedures.
If ICS malfunction is not corrected: - Position aircraft to recover rescue device per Rescue Briefing (P).
- Signal pilot to reestablish visual reference with hoisting area by
pointing to the left side of aircraft. Rescue device may or may not
have been recovered (FM). - Observe signal, pass to pilot (CP).
- Slowly move aircraft to establish visual reference with the hoisting
area (P).
If device was recovered: - Complete hoist of rescue device (FM).
If device was not recovered: - Make onscene repairs, abort the mission, or take other action as
appropriate.
5
Q
HOIST HYDRAULIC OVERHEAT
A
- As soon as practicable, cease operation of the rescue hoist until
light goes out. - Rescue Hoist circuit breakers - CHECK/RESET.
a. RESCUE HOIST POWER (CAB R2 #4).
b. RESCUE HOIST CONT (CAB R6 #2).
c. RESCUE HOIST CONT (CAB R6 #9).
NOTE
Forward flight, if practicable, will increase cooling
airflow over the hoist and hydraulic system and
should decrease required cooling time.
6
Q
LOST SWIMMER DAY
A
- Mark and note position.
- Transition and establish right-hand orbit.
- Search/monitor for rescue swimmer signal.
a. Radio - Prebriefed FM frequency.
b. Smoke.
c. Mirror. - When visual, resume hover position.
7
Q
LOST SWIMMER NIGHT
A
- Mark and note position.
- Flash Landing/Hover lights.
- Search/monitor for rescue swimmer signal.
a. Strobe Light.
b. Radio - Prebriefed FM frequency.
c. Flare. - When visual:
a. Cease flashing Landing/Hover lights.
b. Resume hover position.
If these procedures fail to relocate the rescue swimmer:
- Deploy the lighted raft at the marked position.
- Deploy the DMB at the marked position.
- Request assistance.
- Initiate a sector search.
8
Q
LEAVING RESCUE SWIMMER ONSCENE
A
- Mark and note position.
- Deploy lighted raft.
- Deploy DMB.
9
Q
