36
Q

How is engine fire light actuated?

A

By a temperature switch at the forward end of horizontal firewall

37
Q

Loss of HYD fluid indications?

A

May cause intermittent and/or vibrating feedback in controls

38
Q

Vh?

A

Stabilized level flight at MCP

39
Q

Vne with pop-out floats inflated

40
Q

If CO light illuminates:

A

Shut off heater
Open door and nose vents
If hovering, transition to forward flight

41
Q

Hydraulic system consists of:

A

Pump, 3 servos (1 for each push-pull tube), a reservoir, and connecting lines

Reservoir behind MR gear box on steel tube frame includes a filter, pressure relief valve, and pilot controlled pressure shut-off valve.

42
Q

24 volt sealed lead-acid battery
Battery relay
Alternator control Unit

44
Q

Air restart

A
  1. Mixture off
  2. Throttle closed
  3. Starter - enage
  4. Mixture - move slowly rich while cranking

Not recommended below 2000’ AGL
Do not attempt if:
not in stabilized autorotation or engine malfunction is suspected

45
Q

Other: 2 seconds

46
Q

Beneath instrument console

50
Q

2718 Max RPM @ 102%

Raven II:
Lycoming IO-540-AE1A5
6 cylinder, horizontally opposed, direct drive, air cooled, fuel injected, normally aspirated
Capable of 300 HP, normally rated at 260 HP
MCP: 205 BHP
5 min T/O: 245 BHP
2718 Max RPM @ 102%

51
Q

Blade Diameter

A

Main rotor = 33’

Tail rotor = 4’ 10”

52
Q

Oil Pressures

A

Min during idle = 25 psi
Min during flight = 55 psi
Max during flight = 95 psi
Max during start and warm up = 115 psi

53
Q

When collective is lowered at high airspeed….

A

aft cyclic is required.

54
Q

T/O, climb, and approach A/S

55
Q

Max climb A/S

56
Q

Max range A/S

57
Q

Max cruise A/S

A

110 KIAS ( do not exceed except in smooth air, and then only with caution)

58
Q

Significant turbulence A/S

A

60 to 70 KIAS

59
Q

If engine doesnt fire after 5 to 7 seconds of cranking…

A

repeat priming sequence and reattempt start.

If fails to start after 3 attempts, allow starter to cool 10 minutes.

60
Q

If engine fires momentarily but dies before or while moving mixture to rich…

A

pull mixture off, engage starter, and push mixture slowly rich while cranking

61
Q

Avoid blade slap

A

Generally occurs at airspeeds <100 KIAS.

Avoid by maintaining 100 KIAS until rate of descent is over 1000 fpm, then using a fairly steep approach until A/S is below 65 KIAS

62
Q

HYD off effects on controls

A

Collective inputs cause longitudinal cyclic forces.

Any cyclic input will cause the collective to lower.

63
Q

Clutch fuse

A

Prevents actuator motor from overload tripping the clutch circuit breaker.
An open circuit breaker removes power from clutch motor and LIGHT.

64
Q

What is the AUX fuel pump?

A

Used for priming.
Runs after start up for redundancy, and as long as the engine has oil pressure and the clutch switch is in the engage position.

65
Q

What illuminates the fuel filter caution light?

A

A pressure switch on the gascolator if the strainer becomes contaminated

66
Q

What illuminates the AUX Fuel Pump light?

A

A pressure switch downstream of the aux fuel pump when the aux fuel pump output pressure is low.
