PHI S-92 Oral; My Previous Experiences (2 of 3) Flashcards
What are the procedures for “smoke and fumes in the cockpit”?
1) Open side windows
2) ECS to vent
3) LASA Possible
When does the Prime Pump supply fuel for engine start?
Only in DIRECT.
The why: When a fuel selector is placed in XFEED the fuel selector valve rotates to XFEED and the fuel source side Prime SOV is closed. Once the start button is activated, the Fuel Prime Pump tries but fails to prime the lines and the Engine Driven Boost pump becomes the sole source of fuel to the selected engine when in XFEED.
10-minutes from an off-shore destination, in VMC conditions, a PSAS fault illuminates. However, the FCC is in secondary SAS. What should the crew do?
Continue to destination. After landing, MEL the appropriate FCC and continue flight (VFR). Airspeed is limited to 120 KIAS.
Note: Also, able to MEL a single PSAS by “securing hydraulic power to the SAS on the AFCS panel.” IAW MEL dtd 1OCT2014.
Which items are “auto shed” under APU generator power only (Dual AC GEN FAIL)?
“WARM”
Windshield Anti-Ice, AVC, RIPS, #1 engine inlet Anti-ice Mat.
In case both #1 and #2 hydraulic lines both get severed aft of the T/R shutoff valve, What is likely to happen?
Both RSVR LOW caution lights would illuminate and power would be lost to T/R servos (TR SVO 1/2 PRES). The utility system would remain in the LOW mode. Tail Rotor pedals will “Hydro-Lock” and T/R will effectively be ‘fixed Pitch’.
If a #2 AHRS fails, what indications are lost?
Pilot side ADI and HSI displays. Center circles go black.
For a rotor brake start, what is required?
Minimum press of 450 PSI, after releasing the rotor brake, run the engine at 50-55% for 1-minute before advancing to FLY.
During shutdown, how do you identify a hung droop stop?
One or more blades are flying considerably lower at idle.
With regards to the ECS system, what configurations are authorized for use in flight?
1) If neither heat or AC is used in flight, then vent MUST be on
2) Cabin MAX AC may be used
3) Cockpit MAX AC is only authorized on the ground.
What does the engine use to draw fuel from the fuel tank?
Engine driven fuel boost pump
In an aircraft equipped with MGB Auto Bypass, when is the bypass test done?
Automatically as Nr increases through 60%
After engine shutdown at an off-shore locations, the TGT starts rising rapidly indicating a post shutdown fire. What are the appropriate actions?
Ensure the throttle is at STOP, press the starter button once and motor until below 150*C.
What are the procedures to reset the ECS?
Ref: S92-AMM-000; “Start the sequence with both selectors in OFF position and make each of the following steps within 2-5 seconds from the completion of the previous one. Cockpit selector only: OFF-AC-OFF-AC-OFF” repeat with Cabin selector to complete ECS reset.
IAW Chief Pilot Letter dtd 03Jan2018; Max baggage compartment weight was reduced from 908.5(412Kg) to what? for a bonus list both pounds and kilograms.
872.0 total pounds (395Kg), upper shelf limit is still 300 pounds (136Kg). This includes both chocks and aircraft tie-downs.
If you are unsure of what you are required to look at on preflight, where in the RFM can you look for guidance?
PT-1, Sect 2, Normal Procedures
How do you determine if the aircraft is WAAS certified?
Check RFM supplements in Part-2, Sect-3.
What is Vmin IFR, IAW the RFM?
50 KIAS
When is the FUEL 1/2 LOW Caution Light illuminated?
215 +/- 45 pounds
When pressing the ARM button, during Engine Fire procedures, what happens?
It ARMs the fire extinguisher system and shuts off fuel to the selected engine, thereby shutting it down.
What is minimum IFR altitude for non-mountainous areas?
1000ft above the highest obstacle within 4nm of course line. (2000ft for mountainous areas).
How often is the VOR check required?
within 30 days
What is required if you are departing an airport where weather is below landing minimum?
An IFR departure alternate airport must be available within 1-hour, at normal cruise speed, with weather above “alternate mins”: +200ft/ >1sm vis at ETA+/- 1 hr
Flying offshore in GoMex, at what altitude do you need to maintain a minimum of 500ft below the clouds?
Above 1200AGL
GoMex Class E=above 1200AGL to 10k MSL
Class G= 1200AGL and below
Quantity limits listed in column 9(a) and 9(b) of the HAZMAT program and acceptance guide tables are____?
Total quantity limit “per package”, unless noted as “gross”. May be able to break larger packages down to meet criteria.
Some of the most significant weather offshore is: Thunderstorms, fronts, squall lines, hail and lightning, microbursts, water spouts and fog.
True
Don’t memorize conditions, just remember GoMex gets a little of everything.
Flying an IFR OSAP that is 8nm from a weather station and with a SIC who has logged 6x OSAPs since training, what is your minimum weather for the OSAP?
300-1; because SIC has less than 10x OSAPs.
Notes: 1) No indications of RadAlt failure so no reason to increase MDA due to distance from WX station.
2) No indication of distance from OSAP to Rig, so no “continue VFR” requirement exists.
According the the GOM, unescorted passengers may be permitted on the ramp IF briefed and authorized by the appropriate personnel.
TRUE
How are HSAC areas along the gulf coast depicted on the WAC chart? (Where HSAC rules apply)
Blue Circles
Although HSAC procedures are “recommended”, PHI and GoMex Operators expect you to follow them. Where are these procedures found?
AIM ch-10, sect-2
PHI treats them as MANDATORY because they increase safety and standardization.
GoMex weather is 3000 OVC. What is the maximum VFR altitude and minimum VIS with round trip fuel?
2500AGL and 3sm VIS
Class E= “5-123”
Why would an off-shore helideck be categorized as “restricted”?
If the ground effect area (solid decking) is less than 0.83DV. You may have to reduce weight to meet HOGE criteria.
For the S92; list the following values: D-value, 0.83DV, M/R diameter?
D-value: 68’6” (21 meters)
0.83 DV: 56’10” (17.3 meters)
M/R dia: 56’4” (17.2 meters)
Are EOC procedures mandatory for Medium and Heavy aircraft?
Short answer: Yes
Long answer: When conducting VFR operations. IFR aircraft on a IFR plan can fly in all EOC conditions within IFR and aircraft limits.
B-U-T, three key points to remember:
1)Winds>20kts triggers the 30/30 rule for ground ops
2)Wx radar is required for T-storms AND storm must be >15nm from destination.
3)Depending on variables along the route RED MIGHT shut us down for winds>60, wave>20, Icing, Water Temp<50 (req’d rafts).
Procedures to recover from retreating blade stall?
PHI: “reduce pitch and aft cyclic”
Common Sense: SLOW DOWN
Induced by high relative airspeed. indications: increased vibrations, near Vne; exacerbated by High weight, lower Nr, High DA, turbulence and high speed turns.
At entry: nose will pitch up and roll into stalled blade(s)
Where can you find information if you have not flown in a Ops area for 90+ days?
Base Directory, flight reference guided, NOTAMs, TFRs, Facility directory, WAC/sectional chart, call the base manager.
What is required for “VFR over-the-top” flight?
1) Maintain VFR flight OEI
2) Dep and Dest MUST allow for VFR climb/decent at ETA+/- 1Hr.
3) Maintain VFR cloud clearances
note: Ground reference is NOT required, nor is VFR Auto.
Describe the circular paradigm that is generally used to represent the Aeronautical Decision Making Process.
Depicts the systematic approach to the mental process pilots use to determine the best course of action in response to a given set of circumstances.
During ANY situation or emergency, what phrase is ALWAYS applicable?
“Aviate, Navigate, Communicate”
Define a Cold Front.
At ground level, when a colder air mass replaces a warmer air mass.
A warm front is the opposite event.
The forecast for the area you are flying in calls for an overcast layer at 2000ft, 4sm visibility with possible embedded thunderstorms. While flying VFR in light rain, it begins to intensify and visibility begins to drop. What would be a good course of action?
Begin a slow turn back to better weather. Avoid thunderstorms with the use of radar. For assistance, contact the Comm Ctr for help flying around storms.
What will be the effect on the airspeed indicator if the pitot tube and drain hole ices up in flight, but the static system is clear?
Indicated airspeed will increase in a climb and decrease in a decent.
How does PHI OPSPECS define the company with the FAA?
PHI’s OPSPECS defines PHI as an Air Carrier of “pax and cargo” and is a legally binding contract with the FAA?
