MH-60S EPs Flashcards
What are the MADCD responsibilities?
- 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.
What are the landing criteria?
- 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 Pilot In Command (PIC).
What are the circuit breaker handling terms?
Check: Visually observe circuit breaker condition. Do not change condition.
Pull: If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out. If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Reset: If circuit breaker is out, push circuit breaker in. If circuit breaker is in, do not change condition.
Cycle: If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out, and then push circuit breaker back in. If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Only reset popped CBs once, and do not hold in CB as it may cause electrical fire.
What is a single engine condition?
A flight regime that permits sustained flight with One Engine Inoperative (OEI). Establishing single-engine conditions may include increasing power available, decreasing power required, and achieving single-engine airspeed.
What are the indications of an engine malfunction in flight?
Fluctuations in Ng, Np, or TRQ.
What are the steps for engine malfunction in flight?
- Control Nr.

What are the NWCs for engine malfunction in flight?
1W: Flying with greater than 110 percent torque with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual-engine failure.
2W: 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.
What are the indications of engine high-side failure in flight?

*2 PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
a. Torque 10% below good engine, or
b. Matched Ng, or
c. Matched TGT.
What are the NWCs for engine high-side failure in flight?
1N: Ng does not pass through EDECU and is a highly reliable signal.
2N: TRQ signal may be erratic or drop-off for high-side conditions driven by EDECU failure.
3N: With high collective settings, Nr may increase slowly making high-side failure confirmation difficult.

- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure — Perform.
If fuel contamination is suspected: - Land as soon as possible.
What are the NWCs for engine TRQ/TGT spiking?
1W: PCL movement during engine fluctuations may precipitate an engine failure.
1N: Maintaining a low power setting when moving the PCL will minimize the Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails.

What are the NWCs for dual-engine failure?
(1W) Delay in lowering the collective following a dual-engine failure or the loss of the second engine after a single-engine failure will result in loss of rotor rpm and may cause catastrophic failure of the rotor system due to dynamic instability at low rpm.
(2W) If the collective TRIM REL switch is not depressed, altitude hold could result in a catastrophic loss of N r .
(3W) Flying with greater than 110% torque with one engine inoperative, may result in unrecoverable decay of N r in the event of a dual-engine failure.

What are the NWCs for engine air restart?
1C: For a crossbleed start, the donor engine should indicate the maximum Ng safely obtainable.
1W: f APU is unavailable, and a crossbleed start is necessary, maximum torque available will be reduced during the start sequence. Depending on operating conditions, level flight may not be possible.
