Q

Emergency Shutdown

A

The term EMERGENCY SHUTDOWN is defined as engine shutdown without delay.

  1. Throttle - Close.
  2. FUEL Shutoff Valve Handle - OFF.
  3. 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.

Q

Engine Overspeed

A
  1. Collective - Increase to load the rotor and sustain engine/rotor RPM below the maximum operating limit.
  2. Throttle - Adjust until normal N2 operating RPM is attained.
  3. _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:

  1. AUTOROTATE when over a safe landing area while simultaneously closing the trottle
  2. EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.

Q

Engine Underspeed

A

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:

  1. AUTOROTATE.
  2. EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent, if time permits.

Q

Overheated Battery

A

If high DC amperage does not dissipate:

  1. 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:

  1. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
  2. EMER SHUTDOWN after landing.

If high DC amperage indication does not dissipate, pilot should anticipate electrical fire in flight.

  3. LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

If engine surges are not controlled in steps 1 and 2
above, proceed as follows:

  1. AUTOROTATE - When over safe landing area.
  2. EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits.

Q

Complete Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust

A

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
  1. Abnormal vibrations
  2. Pedal input has no effect on helikopter trim
  3. Nose of the helicopter turns to the right (left sideslip)
  4. Left roll of the fuselage along the longitudinal axis.

(2) Procedures:

  1. Continue powered flight, if possible, to a suitable landing area at or above minimum rate of decent airspeed.
  2. AUTOROTATE when landing area is reached.
  3. If a run-on landing is possible, complete autorotation with a touchdown airspeed as required for directional control
  4. 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.

Q

Main Driveshaft Failure

A

25
Q

ENGINE STARTING LIMITATIONS

26
Q

HEALTH INDICATOR TEST (HIT)

A

The HIT is the method by which the aviator in day-to-day flying monitors the aircraft engine condition. This is accomplished by the aviator selecting a N1 speed (%) predicated upon the existing FAT. The TOT must then be compared to a predicted value (Baseline TOT) within a certain tolerance. TOT variation from baseline values are logged by the aviator. This log is a part of the aircraft records and is an aid to the maintenance personnel in monitoring performance trends and in troubleshooting on the engine. When the difference between the recorded TOT and the baseline TOT is +/- 20 ºC or greater, an entry on DA Form 2408-13- 1 will be made to notify maintenance. A difference of +/- 40 ºC or greater is cause for grounding the aircraft.
