MH-60R Emergency Procedures Flashcards
The following should be performed for all emergencies..
- Maintain control of the aircraft
- Alert crew
- Determine the precise nature of the problem
- Complete the applicable emergency procedure or take action appropriate for the problem
- Determine landing criteria and land as required.
Land immediately
Execute a landing without delay.
Land as soon as possible
Execute a landing at the first site at which a safe landing can be made
Land as soon as practicable
Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the PIC.
Engine malfunction in flight
*1. Control Nr
WARNING: Flying with greater than 110% torque with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual-engine failure
*2. CONTGCY PWR switch - On
*3. Single-engine conditions - Establish
*4. ENG ANTI-ICE switches - As required
WARNING: With engine anti-ice on, up to 18% torque available is lost. Torque may be reduced as much as 49% with improperly operating engine inlet anti-ice valves.
*5. External cargo/stores/fuel - Jettison/dump, as required
*6. Identify malfunction
Engine High-Side Failure in Flight
*1. Engine Malfunction in flight emergency procedure - Perform
Note
- Ng does not pass through the EDECU and is a highly reliable signal.
- Torque signal may be erratic or drop off for high side conditions driven by EDECU failure.
2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
a. Torque 10% below good engine, or
b. Matched Ng, or
c. Matched TGT.
- Land as soon as practicable.
Engine High-Side Failure on Deck
*1. PCLs - Idle
Engine Low-Side Failure
LEGEND:
(#1/#2) ENG SPEED LOW
OR
ENG SPEED LOW
*1. Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure — Perform.
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) — Momentarily advance to LOCKOUT, then retard to set:
a. Torque 10% below good engine, or
b. Matched Ng, or
c. Matched TGT. - Land as soon as practicable.
Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuations
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform
* If fuel contamination is suspected:* - Land as soon as possible
Engine High-Speed Shaft Failure
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Off
Compressor stall
- Engine malfunction in flight emergency procedure - perform.
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - IDLE.
Engine Malfunction During Hover/Takeoff
- Control Nr
- CONTGCY PWR switch - ON
If a suitable landing site exits or unable to transition to forward flight:
- Set level attitude, eliminate drift, cushion landing.
If able to transition to forward flight:
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform
Abort Start
To abort start:
- PCL - OFF.
- ENGINE IGNITION - OFF.
If engine oil pressure is indicated:
- Starter - Engage.
Dual-Engine Failure
1. Autorotation - Establish.
2. Immediate Landing/Ditching emergency procedure - Perform.
If time and altitude permit:
3. Engine Air Restart emergency procedure - Perform.
Single-Engine Failure In Flight
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
Engine Air Restart
- APU Emergency Start procedure - As required
- ENGINE IGNITION switch - NORM
- Fuel selector lever - DIR or XFD
- PCL - OFF
- Starter - Engage, motor engine.
- PCL - IDLE (TGT 80o or less, if time permits).
- PCL - Advance to FLY after starter dropout.
WARNING
If APU is unavailable, and a crossbleed start is necessary, maximum torque available will be reduced during start sequence. Depending on operating conditions, level flight may not be possible. Ensure AIR SOURCE ECS/START switch is placed to ENG for crossblead starts.
APU Emergency Start
- ECS - OFF
- AIR SOURCE ECS/START switch - APU
- FUEL PUMP switch - APU BOOST
- APU CTRL switch - ON
- APU GENERATOR SWITCH - ON
Unusual Vibrations On Deck
If ground resonance is encountered and a safe takeoff is possible:
1. Takeoff immediately
2. Unusual Vibrations In Flight emergency procedure - Perform
If ground resonance is not encountered, or a safe takeoff is not possible:
1. Collective - Lower
2. PCLs - OFF
3. Rotor brake - Apply as required
Hung Droop Stops
*1. Reengage rotor to greater than 75% Nr.
Low Rotor RPM Warning
*1. Control Nr.

If failure is imminent:
1. Land immediately
If secondary indications are present:
2. Land as soon as possible
- APU Emergency Start Procedure - Perform.
- No. 1 and No. 2 GENERATOR switches - OFF, as required
If no secondary indications are present:
- Land as soon as practicable
