Hazardous Flight Conditions

Question 1

The symptoms of settling with power are aircraft —— and stick —— while the helicopter is in an( autorotation, powered) descent at a ( decreasing, increasing) rate of descent and (high, low) airspeed.

Answer 1

Vibration
Shake
Powered
Increasing
Low

Question 2

When settling with power has developed, (it is, is not) good practice to reduce the rate of descent with raised collective because the (higher, lower) blade angles cause the stalled region to ( contract, expand)

Answer 2

Is not
Higher
Expand

Question 3

To recover from a settling with power situation at low altitude you must use (collective, cyclic) to decrease ( rate of descent, airspeed) and after a brief pause re-apply power.

Answer 3

Cyclic
Airspeed

Question 4

Settling with power of the tail rotor may be experienced during a high rate hover turn to the (left, right)

Answer 4

Right

Question 5

When surrounding terrain forces you to approach a landing site downwind, you must be conscious of the risk of —— particularly when you are at (high, low) gross weight, (high, low ) altitude and (above, below) translational speed.

Answer 5

Settling with power similar to vortex ring state
High
High
Below

Question 6

If you suspect that ground resonance is the cause of an increasing vibration after touch down, you should (in due course, immediately)lift the helicopter off the ground but if rotor rpm is insufficient , (raise, lower) the collective , ( increase, reduce power) and apply the —— brake if fitted.

Answer 6

Immediately
Lower
Reduce power
Rotor brake

Question 7

When closing down in strong and gusty wind conditions it is recommended that the rotor —— be applied to stop rotor rotation as ( slowly, quickly) as possible.

Answer 7

Brake
Quickly

Question 8

When lifting the downslope skid off a sloping surface you ease the cyclic somewhat excessively into the slope and you notice the helicopter starts to roll. If unable to lift off you should (raise, lower ) collective ( quickly, smoothly)

Answer 8

Lower
Smoothly

Question 9

If you have the choice of landing on a slope with the left or right skid upslope in calm conditions, you will have more cyclic available if you place the (right , left) skid on the upslope.

Answer 9

Right

Question 10

To avoid a bird in flight you push the cyclic forward and the helicopter starts a roll to the right.your immediate action must be to —- the disc with (aft, forward)cyclic and ( do, do not)use left cyclic before rotor thrust has been ( increased, decreased)

Answer 10

Load
Aft
Do not
Increased
