Highwork (SSE)

Question 1

EP Training Notes

Answer 1

• Maintain Control of the Aircraft, Analyze Situation, Take Appropriate Action, Land as soon as conditions permit

• Direct PM to activate switches outside of normal scan pattern.

Question 2

SSE Notes

Answer 2

• Do Not move Prop/Condition levers in flight unless actual shutdown is intended

• Rudder Trim is highly encouraged

If unable to maintain directional control:
1. INC Airspeed (Nose Down)
2. DEC Power (Reduces asymmetric thrust)

• Power Up, Rudder Up, Gear Up

Question 3

Simulating Feather

Answer 3

IP will adjust Torque to simulate zero thrust

Question 4

Return to Dual Engine Flight following SSE Training

Answer 4

SMOOTHLY

• Never add power to a feathered Prop. allow prop to come to idle rpm first.

• Advance power to match other engine

• adjust props appropriately & limit noise

Question 5

Actual Engine Shutdown/Feather

Answer 5

IAW NATOPS Procedures:

• Emergency Shutdown checklist
• Windmilling Airstart checklist
• Starter-Assisted Airstart checklist

No engine shall be secured/feathered <4000’ AGL, except for actual emergency

• “Pre-Loading” Engine for Restart:
Starter-Assisted Airstart checklist through Step-12

Question 6

Emergency Report

Answer 6

As much of the following: (* Minimum)

• *Declaration/MAYDAY
• *Identification
• *# Souls on Board
• Nature of Distress/Urgency
• Position
• Altitude
• Fuel Remaining (Hours & Minutes)
• Intentions
• Weather

Question 7

SSE Waveoff (At Altitude)

Answer 7

•Level - X800’ - 120 KIAS - # HDG

~Engine Failure/SSE Scenario~
“Power Up, Rudder Up, Clean Up”
*Emergency Shutdown Checklist

IP> “Approaching 180”
“Speed Checks, Flaps Approach. Speed Checks, Gear Down, Landing Checklist”

•Descend Left Turn to “90”
X500’ - 110-120 KIAS
Props - Full FWD

IP> “Waveoff”
Power - Max Allowable Pitch - 102 MIN
Flaps - Approach
Gear - Up
Flaps - Up
Props - 1900

•Complete: Clean Climb, Trimmed & Balanced

Question 8

Dynamic Engine Cut (Set-up)

Answer 8

5 - 5000’ Minimum
4 - Props Full Forward
3 - Power 300 ft•lb
2 - 2deg Nose Trim Up
1 - Prop Sync - OFF
“Speed checks, Gear - down, Landing Checklist”

@ 95 KIAS - Set T/O Power

“Rotate”

~Engine Failure~

Catch Rudder & Raise Dead 5

“Power Up, Rudder Up, Gear up”

Pitch for 102/110

Engine Failure After T/O Checklist
Emergency Shutdown Checklist

Question 9

Ditching - General

Answer 9

•If Uncontrollable/Wing fire, immediate ditching or forced landing is essential

• Ditch Parallel to primary Sea Swell, Near Crest
• Favor back of crest if necessary for wind direction
• Contact Vessels/Stations for wind/Swell & Altimeter Setting
• Attitude & Rate of descent are more critical than Airspeed, immediately prior to impact

Question 10

Ditching - Power Available (Dual)

Answer 10

1. Gear - Up
2. Flaps - Approach
3. VSI - 100 fpm
4. Airspeed - 90 KIAS

[N] No-Flap, 100 KIAS

Question 11

Ditching - Power Available (Single)

Answer 11

1. Gear - Up
2. Flaps - Approach
3. VSI - 100 fpm
4. Airspeed - 91 KIAS

[N] No-Flap, 100 KIAS

Question 12

Ditching - Power Off (Dual Failure)

Answer 12

1. Gear - Up
2. Flaps - Up
3. Maintain 130 KIAS until 200’ AGL
4. Flaps - Approach
5. Airspeed - 90 KIAS Minimum
6. VSI - Maximum 500fpm

[N] Flaps & RADALT may be INOP due to No GEN and Low BAT Voltage
[N] No-Flap, 100 KIAS
