MH65D 2016 New Red Book Flashcards
The term LAND/DITCH IMMEDIATELY is defined as:
executing a landing or ditching without delay due to the seriousness of the malfunction. The primary consideration is to assure the survival of occupants of the aircraft.
WARNING
The potential loss of the airframe after aircrew egress is not sufficient cause to continue flight.
The term LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE is defined as:
executing a landing at the first site at which a safe landing can be made. The primary consideration is the urgency of the emergency.
The term LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE means:
extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of flight is at the discretion of the Pilot-in-Command.
The term ABORT MISSION means
that the aircraft shall not proceed on its assigned mission and should return to its desired recovery base.
When speaking in terms of circuit breakers, CHECK means:
Note status of affected circuit breaker (out or in). No further action necessary.
When speaking in terms of circuit breakers, CHECK/RESET means:
Ensure that affected circuit breaker is in. If affected circuit breaker is popped, attempt to reset circuit breaker once.
When speaking in terms of circuit breakers, CYCLE means:
Pull affected circuit breaker, wait 15 seconds, and reset circuit breaker.
When speaking in terms of circuit breakers, PULL means:
Manually open (pull) affected circuit breaker.

MGB FAILURE IMMINENT =Main Gearbox Section= Corrective Action: 1. 200-FOOT CHECKLIST - COMPLETE 2. LAND/DITCH IMMEDIATELY. WARNING The potential loss of the airframe after aircrew egress is not sufficient cause to continue flight.
Any ONE of the following Symptoms:
- Drop in XMSN OIL pressure indicated by:
a) MGB PRESS warning light illuminated
b) Low XMSN OIL pressure - Complete loss of MGB lubrication indicated by:
a) MGB PRESS warning light illuminated
b) MGB PMP MAIN caution light illuminated
c) MGB PMP AUX caution light illuminated
d) XMSN OIL pressure at zero on VEMD
Possible Symptom:

MGB MALFUNCTION
=Main Gearbox Section=
Corrective Action:
No memory items
=NOTE=
In order to determine whether or not power requirements have increased for a MGB problem, the pilot should note and verbalize the flight regime, airspeed, and current FLI power setting at the onset of the malfunction to establish a baseline for later comparison.
=NOTE=
Single malfunctions while serous do not indicate that a MGB failure is imminent. Flight without MGB oil lubrication should be sustainable for approximately 25 minutes.
Symptoms:
- MGB PMP MAIN caution light illuminated.
- XMSN OIL pressure decrease.
- XMSN OIL temperature increase.
MGB PUMP MAIN FAILURE =Main Gearbox Section= Corrective Action: No memory items =NOTE= MGB lubrication will continue to be provided by the auxiliary pump. The auxiliary pump operates at a lower pressure and bypasses the oil cooler.
Symptom:
1. MGB PMP AUX caution light illuminated
MGB PUMP AUXILIARY FAILURE =Main Gearbox Section= Corrective Action: No memory items =NOTE= During normal operation, the auxiliary pump of the MGB lubricating system is not used for lubrication. A failure will indicate a loss of redundancy in case of main pump failure.
Symptoms:
1. OIL TEMP arming light illuminated AND increase in XMSN OIL temperature above 120 degrees C on the VEMD.
NOTE: The OIL TEMP warning light is shared by temperature switches from the MGB and both engines. Pilots shall reference the VEMD Vehicle Page to determine which system is at fault and follow the appropriate emergency procedure.
- If no secondary indications, see MGB INDICATING SYSTEM FAILURE Page 3-10.
MGB OVERHEAT
=Main Gearbox Section=
Corrective Action:
No memory items
=NOTES=
1) MGB overheat may not be evident at airspeeds above 120 KIAS
2) Operations at speeds below 120 KIAS may not provide sufficient airflow through the oil cooler for effective cooling.
3) Minimize hovering and ground operations due to loss of cooling airflow.
Symptoms:
1. XMSN OIL pressure on VEMD greater than 80 psi.
MGB HIGH-PRESSURE
=Main Gearbox Section=
Corrective Action:
No memory items
Any ONE of the following symptoms:
