General Emergency Handling

Question 1

Which are the “flight critical controls” with which the ICS process must be used?

Answer 1

EEPs
Slowing engines

Question 2

Regarding the intermediate and tail rotor gear boxes, what sensors are there that can report faults to the crew? (2)

Answer 2

Temperature sensor
Chip sensors

Question 3

“ALT” is illuminated on your CCP, what does this mean?

Answer 3

The OTHER person has selected ALT on the ICS

Question 4

How do you complete a no comms HOTO?

Answer 4

Pump collective
Left <—> Right cyclic

Question 5

Why do we fly at 328RRPM if 100% efficiency at 315? (2)

Answer 5

Extra buffer of NR
Better tail rotor authority

Question 6

How can you easily identify which engine is at fault during an engine overspeed/failure?

Answer 6

High NR = High engine is at fault
Low NR = Low engine at fault

Question 7

What causes a “PWR Class A”?

Answer 7

TQ difference greater than 20%
NG difference greater than 7.5%

Question 8

How can ground roll distance be calculated during roll on landing?

Answer 8

Every 10kts GS = 30m (100ft) rolling distance

Question 9

What are the signs and symptoms of VRS in ARH?

Answer 9

• Erratic pitch and roll
• High and increasing RoD
• Sluggish control response

Question 10

What are the conditions that lead to VRS in ARH?

Answer 10

• Low IAS, below 30KIAS
• Power applied
• RoD above 500ft/min

Question 11

You are on approach when the aircraft attitude starts to wander and the correction you make is delayed and sluggish, what is likely happening to the aircraft and what is your response?

Answer 11

Likely VRS:
- Lower the nose to increase IAS
- Reduce PWR if possible
- Maintain airspeed, recover via collective

Question 12

What is the “ALL EMERGENCY PROCEDURE”?

Answer 12

1. Shoulder harness ………………………………. Locked.
2. Distress signal ………………………………… Transmit.
3. IFF emergency …………………………………….. Select.
4. Pre-landing checks ………………………….Complete (if time permits).

Question 13

What is the “ENGINE EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN”?

Answer 13

1. ECP, SLOW ……………. Select (inflight case only).
2. EEP ……………………………………………… SHUT OFF.
3. FCP, PUMP …………………………………………….. OFF.

Question 14

You are the flying pilot, what is the I-C-S procedure?

Answer 14

“EEP 1 Identified” - AC
“Confirm left EEP” - You
“Left EEP confirmed” - AC
“Select SLOW/Shutoff” - You

Question 15

For any emergency below 1000ftAGL, what are on of the primary considerations as part of Aviate within ANCA?

Answer 15

Establish the aircraft in a climb ASAP

Question 16

If landing ASAP, at what point does landing with a tailwind present significant risk?

Answer 16

Greater than 15kts starts to make landings dangerously fast unless terminating to a runway

Question 17

After an OEI landing, is it acceptable to ground taxi the aircraft off the RWY?

Answer 17

Yes (according to Rich)

Question 18

During HOGE within the H/V curve and the ENG has failed, for a vertical descent should you jettison?

Answer 18

Depends RoD but probably not since you will land on the stores (fuel/explosives consid)

Question 19

What are the first indications presented to the crew when an engine fails? (3)

Answer 19

PWR Class A w/M Alarm
Nr decreasing
Possible yaw right

Question 20

What happens if during an OEI, the aircraft is currently in SUP and the INT button is selected on the collective?

Answer 20

Nr will decay (since the blades will maintain the same angle)

Question 21

You are running out of time in SUP and need to maximise your climb to avoid obstacles, what can you do IOT keep the rotors at 315 going from SUP —> INT?

Answer 21

While in SUP, lower to top of MAX and select INT, this COL position will bleed rotors to ~315RRPM

Question 22

Additional tail rotor control assistance is provided by which HYD system?

Answer 22

HYD 1
