If the engine fails to start after 3 attempts, what must a pilot now do?
Allow starter to cool 10 minutes before next attempt
During a pre-takeoff hydraulic system check what type of cyclic inputs are used?
Small inputs
During a pre-takeoff hydraulic system check what should the cyclic feel like with hydraulics off?
1/2 inch if free play before encountering control stiffness and feedback
During a pre-takeoff hydraulic system check what should the cyclic feel like with hydraulics on?
Controls should be free with no feedback or uncommanded motion
What does the pilot need to do when they feel a slight yaw oscillation during cruise?
Can stop it by applying a small amount of left pedal
What must a pilot do when entering an auto from above 6,000 ft?
Reduce throttle slightly before lowering collective to prevent engine over speed
During hydraulics off training what must a pilot do to avoid over controlling when turning the hydraulics back on?
Relax force on cyclic and collective to avoid over controlling
Why should the hydraulic switch be left on for start up and shutdown?
Left on to reduce possibility of unintentional hydraulics off liftoff
When are the only 2 times the HYD switch is in the off position?
- pre-takeoff controls check
* hydraulics off training
When above 6,000 ft what happens to throttle correlation and the governor? How should power changes now be done?
Throttle correlation and governor are less effective
Power changes should be slow and smooth
