General

Question 1

What are the standards during hovering maneuvers?

Answer 1

Maintain heading +/- 10˚
Maintain altitude +/- 3 FT (5 FT for OGE)
Do not allow drift to exceed 3 FT (10 ft for OGE)
Maintain ground track within 3 FT
Maintain a constant rate of movement appropriate for conditions

Question 2

What are the in-flight standards?

Answer 2

Maintain heading +/- 10˚
Maintain altitude +/- 100 ft
Maintain airspeed +/- 10 IAS
Maintain Ground track with minimum drift
Maintain rate of climb as briefed +/- 400 FPM (never below minimum safe gradient)
Maintain the aircraft in trim +/- 1/2 Ball width

Question 3

What standards apply to all tasks with engine operating?

Answer 3

Maintain airspace surveillance and proper clearance
Apply appropriate environmental considerations

Question 4

WARNING

Answer 4

Operation procedures, techniques, etc., which will result in personal injury or loss of life if not carefully followed

Question 5

CAUTION

Answer 5

Operation procedures, techniques, etc., which will result in damage to equipment if not carefully followed

Question 6

NOTE

Answer 6

An operating procedure, technique, etc., which is essential to emphasize

Question 7

LAND IMMEDIATELY

Answer 7

The urgency of landing is paramount. The primary consideration is to ensure survival of the occupants. Landing in trees, water or other unsafe areas should be considered only as a last resort

Question 8

LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE

Answer 8

Land without delay at the nearest suitable area (i.e. Open field) in which a safe approach and landing is reasonably assured (the primary consideration is to ensure survival of the occupants)

Question 9

LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE

Answer 9

The landing site and duration of flight is at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest approved landing area is not recommended (the primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency)

Question 10

What frequency shall be monitored during the entire flight according to FKOBST F. 152-1, CH 34?

Answer 10

243.000 MHz (Guard)

Question 11

What five items must be checked by the PF prior to walk out?

Answer 11

Weather
Authorization
NOTAM
Flight plan filed
Helicopter logbook is onboard, and time to overhauls is adequate

Question 12

What must the PF check during pre-flight?

Answer 12

The aircraft config should be verified with the aircraft logbook to make sure the aircraft is suitable for the mission. Using the operator’s and crewmembers checklist, verify all pre-flight checks, plus check fuel level and voltage

Question 13

For planning purpose, what is the fuel consumption rate?

Answer 13

33% pr hour

Question 14

Minimum fuel for planning and execution?

Answer 14

Landing without the FUEL light illuminated (approx. 11%)

Question 15

List the fuel management procedures

Answer 15

• Verify that the fuel required is on board at the time of take-off
• As a minimum, monitor the fuel quantity and consumption rate every 30 minutes during the enroute checks
• Verify the fuel amount with every BEFORE TAKE-OFF CHECK and BEFORE LANDING CHECK

NOTE If the actual fuel consumption varies from the planned value and the flight cannot be completed with the required reserve, initiate an appropriate course of action.

Question 16

List the procedure for two-way radio failure during VMC

Answer 16

• Maintain VMC
• Transmit position reports in the blind, and set the transponder to 7600
• Land at the nearest suitable landing area. Fly to the landing area by the IP and to the right of the runway in use at 500’ AGL. Flash all available lights, and roll the aircraft back and forth along the longitudinal axis to alert ATC.
• After passing the furthest end of the runway, climb to downwind altitude and search for light signals from ATC
• After landing, contact appropriate ATC facilities immediately

Question 17

In case of ICS failure CAUTION

Answer 17

If voice activation of the ICS fails, both crewmembers must attempt communication in the ICS emergency mode (PTT). If no ICS communication is possible, communication is performed by shouting. PF is responsible for all ATC calls regarding headings and altitude.
