Q

What are you worried about in regards to Nr during practice autos?

A

In a practice auto, Nr should be governed as closely as possible to 100% due to engine spoolup considerations. The engines will not begin to spool up in answer to the power demand of the collective pull until Nr decays to 100%. this delay could result in an inadvertent touchdown.

Q

Np overspeed test numbers? what happens if it fails?

A

Np ovsp test re-references 96% rather than 120% and flames out engine. If Np speed decreases when either switch is pressed individually, the opposite test switch may be faulty.

Failure of an engine to automatically relight when both OVSP TEST A and B are pressed simultaneously is possible. The engine should be restarted using normal procedures and the check should be performed again. If the engine automatically relights on the second attempt, the engine is acceptable. If the
engine fails the test twice consecutively, maintenance action is required.

Q

main xmsn malfunction time to complete failure

A

Previous events of a complete loss of lubrication of the main gearbox have shown that the tail drive pinion will likely fail first, resulting in loss of tail rotor drive in as little as 8 minutes after a catastrophic loss of lubrication. Drive failures were preceded by a dramatic increase in vibrations and/or noise level, approximately one minute prior to failure. Time to transmission failure will vary depending on power utilized, speed of the leak, and condition of the gearbox

  1. All takeoffs shall stabilize in a hover with no fuel pressure cautions for a minimum of 10 seconds before commencing transition to forward flight.
  2. Single-engine training is prohibited.
  3. Operating characteristics may change. Lower operating temperatures, slower acceleration, and shorter range may be experienced.
  4. Due to the vapor qualities of mixed JP-4/JET B, the next two refuelings with a primary fuel shall be treated
    as if JP-4/JET B is in the tanks.

98
Q

What’s different about landing via 1-2 wheels for overland recovery?

A

requires operational necessity

99
Q

corrections to cable angle hover

A

the most effective way to center the cable is to provide minimal inputs to keep the cable within limits while allowing the AFCS to develop its own solution over the first 25 seconds.

The following corrective actions are recommended in the order listed:

  1. Use cyclic trim to command the aircraft in the corrective direction.
  2. Fly against lateral trim.
  3. Using trim release button, reposition aircraft.
  4. Fly against longitudinal trim.
100
Q

tail rotor spar loading

A

Left roll rates (above approximately 30° per second in forward flight above 75 KIAS) can combine with induced tail rotor gyroscopic and flapping loads to cause excessive tail rotor spar loading.

101
Q

translational lift

A

As the airspeed reaches approximately 17 knots, a noticeable vibration will be felt as the aircraft encounters its own ground vortex. The ground vortex is rolled up under the aircraft as speed continues to increase and dissipates as the aircraft reaches approximately 30 knots.

102
Q

what speed do you do run on landings at?

A

Single-Engine Landing: touchdown above translational lift.

T/R Cable Fail: @25 KIAS

T/R Hyd Malfunction: >40 KIAS

Max Touchdown Speed: 75 KGS (TW Locked)

103
Q

What happens when you land in the water?

A

After a water landing, the aircraft tends to sink nose down and roll unpredictably to either side within 10 seconds. Depending on available power and rotor speed, the PAC may not be able to arrest these motions with collective or cyclic application. The aircraft may maintain some degree of buoyancy in the fuel cell transition section (approximately 2 to 5 minutes) after water landing.

104
Q

ground effect

A

The MH-60R is considered to be hovering in ground effect at radar altimeter altitudes at or below 45 feet.

105
Q

Target Nr and speed during actual auto

A

Nr: For a given gross weight, there is one ideal rotor rpm that will provide the minimum rate of descent. As rotor rpm is allowed to build above ideal, rate of descent increases. As rpm decreases below ideal, rate of descent decreases. This means that a heavy aircraft actually descends slower in a steady-state autorotation than a lighter one. In an actual autorotational flare, the pilot may choose to allow Nr to increase above optimum for descent. The higher the Nr when executing the final recovery, the more kinetic energy is available in the rotor system for the collective pull that will cushion the landing as Nr decays

Airspeed:
Minimum ROD - 75 KIAS.*
Maximum glide airspeed of approximately 95 KIAS.
*A decrease or increase in airspeed from this value results in an increase in rate of descent

106

107
Q

can you do Np OVSP check in flight?

Can you reset an OVSP CB in flight?

A

Engine overspeed check shall not be performed in flight. Possibility of flameout exists on the engine being checked.

Additionally, a popped No. 1 and/or No. 2 ENG OVSP circuit breaker shall not be reset in flight. Resetting the circuit breaker may initiate an engine overspeed signal and result in engine flameout.

108
Q

Can you fly without a flight light?

Can you fly without a spread light?

A

If the PYLON FLIGHT light is not illuminated, the pylon and stabilator lockpins and the tail rotor indexer shall be visually inspected prior to flight. Failure to do so may cause separation of the tail pylon.

If the ROTOR SPREAD light remains off, there may or may not be a SPREAD INCOMPLETE caution. The aircraft can be safely flown as long as a proper head check is performed.

111
Q

when does stab program

A

30 KIAS

112
Q

blade stall indications and recovery

A

at these speeds, roughness is encountered, but reasonable maneuvers or mild turbulence can be tolerated. Severe turbulence or abrupt control maneuvers at this point will increase the severity of the stall, and the helicopter will become more difficult to control. In the blade stall condition, each main rotor blade will stall as it passes through the stall region and create vibrations-per-revolution equal to the number of blades.

  1. Decrease collective pitch.
  2. Decrease severity of maneuver.
  3. Gradually decrease airspeed.
  4. Increase rotor rpm.
  5. Decrease altitude.
  6. Decrease gross weight.

Critical: 12° Max takeoff/land angle

115
Q

helo vibration types

A

1-Per (4.3Hz): Main Rotor out of balance, Worn/loose control rod bearings, Malfunctioning blade damper. Feels like a lateral oscillatory roll to the pilot. At high speeds, one per-revolution vibration will most likely be felt as a vertical vibration.

1.44-Per (6.5Hz): Caused by an initial aerodynamic upset that is amplified and maintained as a result of an SAS and Pilot-Induced Oscillation (PIO) in the longitudinal cyclic.

4-Per (17.2 Hz): Caused by the dynamic response of the main rotor blades to asymmetrical blade loading. Felt as a combination of vertical and lateral shake at the same frequency.

Tail Shakes (5 cycle/sec): Tail shake is an aerodynamic excitation of the first lateral bending mode of the tail pylon in certain flight regimes. This vibration will be felt as a random impulse around the yaw axis

Tail Rotor Drive Shaft Vibrations (Hi Freq): Generally, these vibrations are caused by an unbalanced drive shaft, bad bearings, or a failing tail/intermediate gearbox. These vibrations can be identified during a ground run by feeling the tailcone and can also be felt as a “buzz” in the pedals.

One Times Tail Rotor Speed (20 Hz): due to tail rotor imbalance, damage, loose hardware, pitch change link bearing wear, or loose tail or intermediate gearbox, and is not easily isolated by the pilot.

116

139
Q

GPS vs INS?
What happens if you are INS only?
Drift Rate?

A

INS is worldwide, passive, and self-contained.The primary disadvantage of INS is that the information provided is precisely accurate only for a short time, as it is eventually susceptible to inaccurate position and velocity solutions.
GPS is worldwide, passive, and employed to provide very precise and regular position, velocity, and time information updates to the INS to preclude navigational errors. The disadvantages of GPS are: it is not a self-contained system (relies on satellites for information acquisition), it is vulnerable to jamming and spoofing, and it is incapable of providing aircraft heading and attitude information.

Without GPS, an INS-only solution will eventually exhibit geosituational and positional errors due to the drift inherent in any INS.

why do we clear when starting generators

A

Power transfer from the APU generator or EXT PWR to the No. 1 generator may cause disengagement of SAS 1, SAS 2, TRIM, AUTO PLT, and stabilator. An unguarded cyclic may allow the rotor arc to dip as low as
4 feet above the ground.

164
Q

why do we wait 5 seconds between generators

A

Starting or securing the main generators simultaneously may result in the Generator Control Units detecting a fault condition that causes the generators
to trip off line.

165
Q

During dipping sonar op check what do you watch out for?

A

Transducer will lower approximately 3 inches during Dipping Sonar Operational Check. Area below aircraft must be clear before proceeding.

166
Q

How long should engines be cooled?

A

Engines should be cooled for 2 minutes at an Ng of 90 percent or less before moving PCL to OFF. Ifan engine is shut down without being cooled, it should not be restarted for 4 hours unless restart is performed within
5 minutes.

167
Q

What do you do prior to alert launch checklist?

A

All ground, prestart, systems, starting engines, rotor engagement, and shutdown checklists (with the exception of blade fold) shall be completed prior to using the Alert Launch Checklist.

168
Q

What if Ng decreases during engine cleaning?

A

if Ng decreases below 16 percent during engine cleaning, secure starter to prevent engine damage.

169
Q

Q

tq verification

A

Software configuration is indicated 30 seconds after airframe power is applied by a unique torque code, which is visible for 20 seconds.
35 ±2.9%: Navy T700-GE-401C configuration
15 ±2.9%: indicates the DAS plug is not installed or is faulty, resulting in the CEDECU defaulting to Army Black Hawk application Software.
0%: Not valid for the CEDECU and is indicative of the presence of a DECU or EDECU

173
Q

ITO

A
  1. Select hover mode on FD.
  2. Smoothly increase collective to takeoff power and maintain a hover attitude by referencing the AI. Allow AFCS to maintain heading (feet off pedal trim microswitches once airborne).
  3. Smoothly increase collective to climbout power. As the helicopter passes through 20 feet on the radar altimeter, position the cyclic forward to establish a 5° nosedown attitude and accelerate into forward climbing flight.
  4. As the helicopter accelerates, cross-check radar altimeter and VSI for positive rates of climb. Rate of climb should be 500 fpm or greater.
  5. Maintain a smooth acceleration up to 90 KIAS, referencing the AI and airspeed indicator.
