Lookups

Question 1

How to judge mountain winds

Answer 1

Upflowing: Torque lower than baseline, smooth buoyant air, nose crabs away

Downflowing: Torque higher than baseline, turbulent air, nose crabs towards

Question 2

What does NATOPS stand for?

Answer 2

Naval Air Training Operating Procedures Standardization

Question 3

Mountain Flying Contour Crawl

Answer 3

60kts, level and balanced flight, 50-100’ from terrain

Question 4

Best Type of Landing for Mountains

Answer 4

Loaded disk (torque @ baseline) and minimum rate of descent to a spot in upflowing air

Question 5

Landing in Snow

Answer 5

Pick a dark object for reference, wave off if whiteout too strong, and wiggle the helicopter while slowly reducing power to break through the crust of the snow

Question 6

What is the only continuously operating DC vibrator?

Answer 6

Standby attitude indicator

Question 7

Coupler Bug Settings

Answer 7

0-2 ft = 0ft
2-22ft = 2ft below
22-35 = 20ft
35-210 = 15ft below
210+ = 20ft below

Question 8

DESU vs ESU

Answer 8

DESU is on Turbomach/Sunstrand

Includes ability to control APU overtemperatures by regulating main fuel valve and start bypass valve

Question 9

ADHEELS vs IHEELS

Answer 9

ADHEELS - lights upper half of cabin door and SO window

IHEELS - lights cabin door and SO window handles

Activated by 11-13Gs (not IHEELS), 100 +/- 5 pitch or roll, and saltwater or freshwater immersion

Question 10

Translational Lift

Answer 10

Chapter 7 - appx 15kts
Chapter 11 - 17-30kts

Question 11

Tail Rotor Spar Loads

Answer 11

Left rolls of 30* per second above 75kts may cause damage to the tail rotor spar

Question 12

Autorotational Descent Velocity

Answer 12

3125-4450fpm

Question 13

Practice Auto Nr

Answer 13

105%

Question 14

Ground Resonance NWC

Answer 14

Caution
- Application of the rotor brake may aggravate lead lag tendencies and cause a mechanical failure
- Continued operations on deck with unusual vibrations may result in rotor system damage or mechanical failures

Warning
- Ground resonance can occur in under 3 seconds and cause violent vibrations resulting in difficulty reaching the PCLs, PIO, and dynamic rollover
- Failure to ensure that ground personnel are clear of the rotor arc and aircraft is free from the deck or chains may result in loss of aircraft or ground personnel

Question 15

Engine High Speed Shaft Failure Indications

Answer 15

High-intensity, medium to high frequency vibrations felt throughout the aircraft accompanied by a howl

May have loss of transmission oil

Question 16

Loss of TR Control NWC
SMAL Swap 40

Answer 16

1) Servo hardovers in the yaw channel may result in loss of tail rotor control. Consider securing SAS/BOOST and/or TRIM
2) A momentary uncommanded right yaw will occur when the tail rotor servo switches
3) With the #1 TR SERVO caution without the BACKUP PUMP or #2 TR SERVO will have normal control above 40kts
4) After touchdown, rapid reduction of PCLs or collective may cause uncontrollable yaw rates
5) If an uncontrolled right yaw develops at too low an airspeed, waveoff capability may be lost. Consider Loss of Drive.
6) If tail rotor cables are damaged, switching from TAIL SERVO norm to backup may cause catastrophic damage to tail rotor controls
