Miscellaneous Flashcards
Head Check
Blade lock pins- engaged
Pitch lock pins- retracted
Gust lock- disengaged
Note: A head check shall be completed any time ______.
the BLADEFOLD switch is moved from the off position
Note: When performing CHIP IBIT, 28 Vdc is interruped. WCAs and master caution lights will not correctly respond for _______.
approximately 40 seconds
Successful RADALT test indicated by:
RAD ALT tone (5 plus or minus 1), indicator reading 100 plus or minus 10 for approx. 5 seconds, and yellow tape illuminated up to DH setting or 100 feet, whichever is lower.
Successful Comm/Nav test indicated by:
BRG 1 needle swinging 180 degrees (plus or minus 3) for 5 seconds, DME indicated of 0.0 nm (plus or minus .5nm), NAV needle centering within half a dot, and T0(180)/ FROM (000) indication.
With the collective in the full up position and the cyclic at the forward left corner of its movement envelope, a ratcheting may be felt through the cyclic and airframe and heard in the cockpit as the cyclic is moved to the right. This normal ratcheting of the ___________________ will only occur at the specific flight control orientation and movement listed above.
uniball bearing on the star guide assembly
While holding the collective in the full up position and teh tail rotor pedals neutral, the cyclic shall be moved in a square pattern. Any ____________ may be indicative of an extended pitch lock
restriction of the full range of motion
Ratcheting or binding with the flight controls at any other position than the collective full up and cyclic at the forward left corner indicates___________
an unassociated control problem or deterioration of the Teflon coating on the uniball bearing.
AFCS Ground Check. What are you looking for each step
SAS 1 pushbutton- on for 10 seconds, then off. SAS fao; advisory lights and AFCS DEGRADED caution should not appear during self test.
SAS 1 pushbutton- on then off. NO movement should occur in the rotor blades. Minimal movement in flight controls is acceptable. Repeat step for SAS 2
TRIM- on then off. Minimal movement in flight controls is acceptable. Check trim in all axes.
AUTOPILOT- SAS 1, SAS 2, TRIM on
Autopilot PBS- on then off. No movement should occur in flight controls.
Autopilot PBS- move controls through full range of motion. Check for restrictions, control feedback, and chatter.
Helicopters shall not be flown if the stabilator fails any check involving___________
manual operation, position indications, or warnings.
If stab auto mode fails to engage, _____________ may align the stab actuators and allow stab auto mode to engage.
slewing the stabilator full up then full down with ac power
Np shaft rub occurs due to ___________. When the rotor brake is released, ______________ causing compressor blades to impact the casing.
asymmetric heating of the Np shaft by a hot engine, the Np shaft impacts the Ng shaft
Why do we “position and hold flight controls” for engine start?
There is a caution that says: Loss of the collective boost servo will cause the collective to move rapidly from the down position to midposition and may cause the helicopter to become airborne.
Is colder oil more or less viscous?
It is more viscous. Starting the engine in cold temperatures may cause an OIL FILTER BYPASS caution due to the pressure differential.
Starting or securing the main generators sumultaneously may result in ____________ that causes the generators to trip off line.
the Generator Control Units detecting a fault condition
Failure of an engine to automatically relight when both OVSP TEST A AND B are pressed simultaneously is possible. The engine should be restarted using normal procedures and the check should be performed again. If the engine automatically relights on the second attempt, the engine is acceptable. If the engine fails the test twice consecutively, __________.
maintenance action is required
Warning: resetting a popped ____________ in flight may initiate an engine overspeed signal and result in engine flameout.
NO. 1 and/or NO. 2 ENG OVSP
Note: When pressing OVSP TEST A and B simultaneously, do not press and hold buttons continuously, as this may result in __________.
a sub-idle relight and engine overtemperature.
Note: upon selecting C-Pwer, a rapid change in TGT may be indicative of _______
an engine control system malfunction
HYD Leak Test Indications
1 RSVR LOW, #2 RSVR LOW, BACK UP RSVR LOW
BOOST SERVO OFF, SAS, AFCS DEGRADED
MASTER CAUTION!!! During this check it is normal for collective and tail rotor pedals to move slightly.
How is Np sensed? Torque?
Two Np sensors are located on the top of the exhaust frame.
The power turbine shaft is equipped with two pairs of teeth, which induce electrical pulses in the Np sensors. These teeth permit measurement of the torsion or twist of the shaft which is proportional to output torque, by producing a pulse of electrical current each time a shaft or reference tooth passes.
The sensors are identical and interchangeable, but serve different functions. The left signal provides Np signal to the EDECU. The right signal provides torque computation circuit and Np overspeed protection. The electrical signal, conditioned in the EDECU, provides a dc voltage proportional to torque for cockpit indication and use by various engine subsystems.
How is Ng sensed?
The alternator supplies an Ng signal to the vertical instruments in the cockpit
How is TGT sensed? What is the note?
The thermocouple harness consists of seven thermocouples for measuring TGT, The thermocouples are joined in parallel and provide ann average output that is provided to the EDECU. The TGT signal is biased -71 degrees C by the EDECU then relayed to the TGT vertical instruments.
Note: If the EDECU is not powered by either the alternator or airframe power through the ENG OVSP circuit breaker, the -71 degrees C bias will be absent and TGT will indicate 71 degrees higher than expected.
