Radiation Fog is formed when?
The ground cools down at night and if the layers of air near the ground is moist and reaches its dew point.
Describe the behavior of wingtip vortices created by a helicopter or large aircraft?
Sinks below aircraft generating turbulence.
Which of the following is NOT part of the decision-making process?
“Make a quick decision then support it with facts.” (process includes: ID problem, Collect facts, ID alternatives, Weigh impact of alternatives, Decide, Act, Review results, repeat until solved)
The PIC may deviate during an emergency involving the safety of persons or property ONLY?
To the extent required to respond safely to the emergency.
What altitude is required when flying on a VFR flight plan above 3000’ MSL?
East= Odd+500’ West= Even+500’
What is the best course of action to navigate past a Cumulonimbus formation that, from your perspective, is leaning to the right?
Turn left, ensuring your flight path will NOT pass under the Anvil portion of the storm.
What can be used to compute weight and balance if the EFB fails?
Long hand Wt and Bal using RFM or use the loading schedule in the company flight manual (FOPM).
What is your immediate action in the event of a Hot Start?
Move engine lever to STOP
During shutdown offshore, the main rotor blades dipped very low due to gusty wind conditions. It is decided to start with the rotor brake on. What is the proper procedure?
Follow the high wind rotor start procedure in the RFM section 2. Also, in Green Detailed Procedures pages.
Which statement is true concerning an engine restart in flight?
Start the APU and select AIR SOURCE HEAT/START to APU.
After shutdown at an offshore location, the TGT starts raising rapidly indicating a post shutdown fire. What are the appropriate actions?
Ensure the throttle is STOP and press the starter button once.
What are the Immediate actions in case of an ENGINE OVERSPEED with the engine Np cycling at 121% are ___?
FLY: Start reducing IAS to OEI speed
ID: ID and confirm the overspeeding engine
Catastrophic: bring the affected throttle to idle and then to stop.
Checklist: ….
It’s 37-degrees C and the maximum takeoff weight is 25,900 as listed on the performance card. The aircraft is currently at 26,200 Lbs. What is the appropriate action?
Download to the RFM T/O weight on the performance card and depart PC2.
A single hydraulic fan will fail in flight. How will this be indicated?
NO indications in flight! Will show up when HUMS is downloaded by maintenance.
The fuel quantity indication for the fuel tanks changes to a green and yellow barber pole when___?
When there is less than or equal to 1-hour of fuel remaining at the current burn rate. (Note: poles turn solid yellow and LOW FUEL caution light illuminates at 215+45 lbs remaining.)
By selecting SEC SAS in accordance with an emergency procedure, which of the following will occur?
No additional cautions light will illuminate, normal coupling operations are possible and airspeed is limited to 120 KIAS.
In case of a single cable failure, which of the following statements is true?
The TR QUAD caution light will illuminate and the tail rotor will function normally.
What would the approach look like with a dual cable [TR QUAD] failure?
RFM: Centering springs will set a fixed pitch approximately equal to 30 and 150 KIAS.
Reality: fly it like a “high-power fixed pitch” T/R. Basic targets are 100ft/60kts; 50ft/50kts; landing somewhere at or below 40kts. Use nose on centerline and 10* nose up to dictate landing speed. Make any wave-off early and smooth, expect a right turn/drift with power addition.
Following a dual engine failure inflight, with APU off and the Nr at 95%, which of the following items would stop working?
NONE. All services would be available. (Electrical system protections are disabled, in this situation. However, after landing Protections will return and electrical system will shut down [WOW switch]. Expect a black cockpit as systems reboot and complete BITs.) Lesson=Flip APU switch ON.
With regards to the ECS system in flight, which statement(s) are true?
All answers are correct. (Cabin Max. AC can be used in flight, cockpit Max AC is to be used on the ground only, if neither heat or AC is used in flight, the cockpit vent MUST be on.)
What is the purpose of the Collective to Yaw coupling?
Compensates for changes in torque effect caused by changes in collective position. (also, adjust collective in response to yaw inputs)
When the BAT HOT and BATT CHARGE FAIL cautions illuminate___?
LASA Practical (158F/70C)
The weight limits mentioned in the performance table of S-92 checklist are mandatory.
TRUE
What is the Max TGT for engine start?
1000* C
Will a MGB Pump (1 or 2) failure trigger the MGB Oil Pressure audio?
YES, The Why: Because a single pump failure will lead to MGB oil pressure fluctuating between 5-25psi. This means the MGB manifold pressure will fall below 35 psi AND the “last Jet” pressure will fall below 24psi; THESE are the “actual triggers” for “GEARBOX PRESSURE” aural alert and “MGB OIL PRESS” Warning light.
How do you determine if the aircraft is WAAS certified?
Check the RFM Supplements in Part-1.
What indications during shutdown, would you have of a hung droop stop?
One or more of the main rotor blades are flying considerably lower at idle.
Define basic VFR cloud clearances for US airspace classes:
A=IFR only;
B=3sm, clear of clouds;
C/D/E= “5-123”;
G=0.5sm, clear of clouds (night= 1.0sm Vis)
Define a “Suitable Landing Site” for VFR fuel planning:
A deck/area/site with the space and weight capacity for the aircraft. Fuel at site is NOT required GOM 2.3.4
When shall the HISL’s be ON or OFF?
DAY use Only! ON after takeoff, OFF before landing. RFM Supplement references aircraft Position, Not a checklist. PHI seems to only be able to handle the Checklist.
What is Class E airspace in GoMex?
1200 AGL to 10K MSL
What is Minimum IFR Altitude in GoMex?
1500 AGL
When filing IFR in GoMex, what are the desired climb ETEs and cruise altitudes with a functioning ADSB?
w/ADSB= 5k-10k, w/o ADSB<5k; Climbs <5k=5-mins, >5k=10-mins
When is an aircraft required to use the ILS hold short point instead of runway hold short?
Required if Wx<800-2 and a/c is inside outer marker (OM) without airport insight. If Cig<200, requirement moves to MM. Note: IAW ATC manual 2003, 4-3-18.a.8 “If a pilot is expected to hold short of runway approach area or ILS, ATC will issue instructions.” (i.e. Tower directed)
IAW GOM 2.1.15, what approach profiles “shall be use” by PHI aircraft?
PC-1(cat A) or PC-2
When flying a PC-2 offshore TAKEOFF, what do the following four (4) terms mean when spoken: DP, Rotate, DP-2, Fly Away?
“DP”=30ft above deck and power above delta; “Rotate”= PF is transitioning forward and ICO an OEI expect 20* nose down; “DP-2”=Crossing the first condition of TDP or 50ft AGL; “Fly Away”=Setting 5* nose up and accelerating to 80 KIAS(Vy). Key Point: Delay calls until conditions are met and you plan to depart over the deck edge.
What is the FADEC logic for TGT and TQ?
“Torque Match and TGT Limited”
EGPWS color coding and aural warnings:
RED>500ft above aircraft; YELLOW+500ft (50%above/25%below); GREEN=more than 500ft below; “CAUTION TERRAIN”=30sec at Aspd; “WARNING TERRAIN”=20sec at Aspd
Maximum slope landing angles:
13* left/right; 10* nose up; avoid tail up.
Starter motoring limits IAW RFM Pt-1,Sec-1,pg.1-22:
“2/5/2/30” means 2-mins ON, 5-mins OFF, 2-mins ON, 30-mins cool Note: PHI addresses this as “accumulative” motoring time, RFM does not address accumulative vs aborts.
Starter Back-to-back Starts limits:
If OAT>15C use “2/5/2/30”; If OAT<15C use “4/15/4/30”
How do you reset the ECS A/C system?
Begin with both systems OFF. Within 2.5 seconds, move each dial twice between a/c and off.
Ref: S92A-AMM-000, Pg 128, table 103 para. 2 (21-52-00) lists: “off-on-off-on-off”
What actions should be taken if MGB [BYPASS TEST FAIL] caution light illuminates while moving throttle to fly?
System BIT should initiate passing 60%Nr (takes about 20-30 secs). IF test fails, a manual test can be initiated by cycling the MGB By-pass switch to BYPASS then return to AUTO. If caution returns, Maintenance is required. (me: I would say AOG until fixed).
