OH-58 5&9 checkride Flashcards
Emergency Shutdown
The term EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN is defined as engine shutdown without delay.
- Throttle - Close.
- FUEL Shutoff Valve Handle - OFF.
- BAT switch - OFF. Before turning the battery switch off during in-flight emergencies requiring EMER SHUTDOWN, the pilot should consider a “MAYDAY” call, setting the transponder to EMER, and the possible adverse effects of total electrical failure.
NOTE
Total electrical failure in the OH-58C will result in loss of rotor RPM indications.
Engine Failure at a Hover
AUTOROTATE
Engine Failure Low Altitude Low Airspeed or Cruise
- AUTOROTATE
- EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.
Engine Compressor Stall
- Collective - Reduce.
- ENG DEICE and HTR switches - OFF.
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Engine Overspeed
- Collective - Increase to load the rotor and sustain engine/rotor RPM below the maximum operating limit.
- Throttle - Adjust until normal N2 operating RPM is attained.
- _LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE._Perform a power-on approach and landing by controlling the RPM manually with throttle.
a. If RPM cannot be controlled manually:
- AUTOROTATE when over a safe landing area while simultaneously closing the trottle
- EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.
Engine Underspeed
a. If an engine underspeed occurs, the collective must be adjusted downward to maintain rotor RPM within limits. If powered flight with rotor in the green can be accomplished, LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE in an area that will permit a run-on landing.
b. An engine underspeed below 94% N2 results in rotor RPM decay below minimum safe limits. Should this occur:
- AUTOROTATE.
- EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent, if time permits.
Hot Start
Caution
During engine starts using a Ground Power Unit (GPU), failure of the GPU could possibly result in an engine hot start. After GPU failure during start, the pilot must turn the battery switch on before accomplishing the procedure described below.
- Starter switch - Continue to press and hold until TOT is less than 200°C.
- Throttle - Close.
Engine/Fuselage/Electrical Fire - Ground.
EMER SHUTDOWN
Engine/Fuselage Fire - In Flight
a. If Power-On landing:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- EMER SHUTDOWN after landing.
b. If Power-Off landing:
- AUTOROTATE.
- EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.
- Minimum rate of decent- Power Off:_______KIAS @ 100% Rotor.
- Maximum glide distance-Power Off:_______KIAS @ 100% Rotor.
- Minimum rate of decent- Power Off:__43__KIAS @ 100% Rotor.
- Maximum glide distance-Power Off:_71-74_KIAS @ 100% Rotor.
Low engine oil pressure and loss of torque indication.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Overheated Battery
If high DC amperage does not dissipate:
- BAT switch - OFF.
If high DC amperage indication disappears with BAT switch OFF, a high battery charging rate and possible battery thermal runaway is confirmed, in this event:
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
- EMER SHUTDOWN after landing.
If high DC amperage indication does not dissipate, pilot should anticipate electrical fire in flight.
Engine Surges
- GOV RPM switch - INCR for maximum RPM.
- Throttle - Adjust to 98% N2.
- LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
If engine surges are not controlled in steps 1 and 2
above, proceed as follows:
- AUTOROTATE - When over safe landing area.
- EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.
Complete Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust
This situation involves a brake in the drive system, such as a severed driveshaft causing the tail rotor to lose power.
- Powered Flight.
(1) Indications
- Abnormal vibrations
- Pedal input has no effect on helikopter trim
- Nose of the helicopter turns to the right (left sideslip)
- Left roll of the fuselage along the longitudinal axis.
(2) Procedures:
- Continue powered flight, if possible, to a suitable landing area at or above minimum rate of decent airspeed.
- AUTOROTATE when landing area is reached.
- If a run-on landing is possible, complete autorotation with a touchdown airspeed as required for directional control
- If a run-on landing is not possible, start to decelerate from about 75 feet altitude, so that forward ground speed is at a minimum when the helicopter reaches 10 to 20 feet. Execute touchdown in a level attitude with minimum ground speed.
Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness
- Pedal - Full Left.
- Cyclic - Forward.
- As recovery is effected, adjust controls for normal flight.
