Q

Stall

A

Low Rotor RPM Stall - Blade Stall:

  • Rotor stall is a complete loss of lift from RPM decay
  • Recovery not possible if stalled completely

Blade Stalls at 80% RPM @ sea level:

  • Critical angle of attack is exceeded to RW coming from below
  • Increases in drag, insufficient centrifugal force for blade rigidity
  • 80% + 1% per 100ft altitude

Causes:

  • Not reacting to RPM decay quick enough
  • Reacting to low rotor RPM the wrong way

  3. Throttle - closed, then cracked slightly
  4. Actuate starter with left hand
77
Q

Rigid Rotor System

A
  • Made up of three or more blades
  • Feathers on hinges
  • Blades absorb the operating loads of flapping and lead/lag through bending rather than hinges
  • They are mechanically more simple but more expensive due to the structural complexity of the blades

Advantages:

  • no mast bumping
  • reliable and easy to maintain

Disadvantages:

  • expensive
  • more vibration
78
Q

Semi-rigid Rotor System

A
  • consists of two or more blades
  • able to feather independently and teeter/flap as a unit
  • type of rotor system on the R22
  • R22 different than others because of coning hinges

Advantages:

  • cheap and easy to maintain
  • small storage space
  • light

Disadvantages:
-low-g mast bumping

79
Q

Fully Articulated Rotor System

A
  • made up of three or more blades
  • able to feather, flap, and lead and lag independent of each other

Advantages:

  • smooth flight conditions
  • no mast bumping

Disadvantages:

  • ground resonance
  • high maintenance
  • heavy
80
Q

Blade Flapping

A

-the way the rotor system compensates for the dissymmetry of lift and creates equal amount of lift across the rotor system

  • more lift on the advancing blade causes the blade to flap up, decreasing the AoA(CL)
  • less lift on the retreating blade side causes the blade to flap down, increasing the AoA(CL)
81
Q

Retreating Blade Stall

A
  • potentially hazardous condition caused by excessive forward speed which causes an excessive angle of attack on the retreating blade
  • stall begins at the tips of the retreating blades due to high AoA

Cause: Indications:
Exceeding Vne -vibrations
high weight -pitching up of the nose(gyro pro)
low rotor RPM -rolling motion(twrd rtring blade)
high DA
steep abrupt turns

Recovery:
Lower collective to decrease the AoA, ensure RPM 104%, gentle aft cyclic

82
Q

Settling With Power

A
  • helicopter settles into its own downwash and vortices
  • state of powered flight where the heli descends rapidly even with power

3 requirements:

  • Vertical descent of 300ft/min or greater
  • must have power applied (20% or more)
  • A/S is less than ETL

Indications:

  • increased vibrations
  • uncommanded pitch, roll and yawing
  • little cyclic authority
  • OGE hover with descent rate
  • Tail wind approach
  • steep approach with high descent rate

Recovery(eliminate one of 3 req.):

  • forward cyclic for airspeed
  • ASI and trim come alive, climb profile, pitch for power
83
Q

Loss Of Tail Rotor Effectiveness

LTE

A

-tail rotor is unable to provide adequate thrust to maintain directional control; not a tail rotor failure

3 types of wind induced LTE:
-main rotor interference = wind from NW into heli
-weather cock = wind from behind
tail rotor cortex ring state = wind from rotor side of heli

84
Q

Autorotation

A

-state of flight in which the rotor blades are driven solely by the aerodynamic forces resulting from the rate of descent and an upward flow of air through the rotor disc

-sprag clutch:
allows for an autorotation by automatically disengaging the rotor system from the engine
direction of airflow:
airflow is from below the disc no longer being pulled down from above by the rotors

85
Q

Mast Bumping

A
  • when the rotor hub teeters/flaps so great that it contacts the rotor mast
  • can occur in an unloaded rotor system by applying lateral cyclic during the rolling movement of the fuselage
  • severe damage likely, even potentially chopping off the rotor hub

Causes:

  • incorrect inputs or no inputs during low-g conditions
  • excessive blade teetering/flapping
  • gust, wind, turbulence
  • abrupt cyclic inputs

Correction:

  • light aft cyclic
  • left cyclic for roll

87
Q

Ground Resonance

A
  • vibration of large amplitude resulting from a deliberate or unintentional oscillation of the helicopter from the ground contact or when resting on the ground
  • on set recognizable by slow rocking of the fuselage
  • initiate lift off if power and rotor RPM permit
  • not able, shut down and immediately apply rotor brake

Q

Center Of Pressure

A

-imaginary point on the chord line where the resultants of all aerodynamic forces are supposed to be concentrated

104
Q

Magnus Effect

A

-cylinder rotating in an airstream in the same direction of airflow, local velocity is high on top and low on the bottom

high velocity = low pressure
low velocity = high pressure

Air always moves to areas of low pressure

105
Q

Bernouilli’s Principle

A
  • as air velocity increases the pressure decreases
  • air traveling over the upper surface of the airfoil moves faster
  • creates a lower pressure on the upper surface than the lower surface, thus creating lift
106
Q

Dissymmetry Of Lift

A
  • difference in lift between the advancing and retreating halves of the rotor disc due to different velocities of relative wind
  • counterclockwise rotating rotor systems advance on the right and retreat on the left

Advancing side:
-Res. RW = tip speed + relative wind(forward airspeed and/or wind)

Retreating side:
Res. RW = tip speed - relative wind(forward airsseed and/or wind)

107
Q

Effective Translational Lift

A

The increase in rotor system efficiency due to an increase in horizontal relative wind across the entire rotor disc

  • occurs with relative winds of about 16-24KIAS
  • horizontal RW allows both the MR and TR to outrun vortices
  • Rotor system is more efficient due to smaller vertical IF, increases AoA for the same collective pitch
  • efficiency continues to increase until the L/D max 53KIAS where the total drag is at its lowest point
  • recognized by a left yaw and nose pitch up, heli tries to climb
  • correct by giving right pedal and forward/left cyclic inputs
108
Q

Transverse Flow Effect

TFE

A
  • the difference in lift between the fore and aft portions of the disc
  • acceleration in forward A/S causes vertical IF to drop significantly in the fore portion of the rotor disc and remain the same in aft
  • due to gyroscopic tendency, max lift is felt 90° in direction of rotation causing the tendency for the heli to roll slightly to the right as it accelerates through 20KIAS
  • recognized bu increased vibrations at airspeeds just less than ETL
  • as A/S increases, heli responds with a right roll and pitch up of the nose
  • correct by giving forward/left cyclic inputs to push thru into ETL
109
Q

Translational Lift

A

-additional lift gained due to horizontal movement of the aircraft or surface winds
-any movement or wind creates a more horizontal airflow across both the MR and TR systems
-vertical induced flow decreases as airflow becomes more horizontal, creating a greater AoA for the same collective pitch
MR system vortices begin to recede in the forward portion of the disc

110
Q

Gyroscopic Procession

A
  • when force is applied to a rotating body, the deflection will manifest 90° later in the direction of rotation
  • pitch angle change applied at the 3 o’clock position will manifest at the 12 o’clock position in a rotor system rotating counter clockwise
111
Q

Ground Effect

A
  • any increase in rotor efficiency due to the proximity of the ground
  • occurs when the aircraft is within 1 rotor diameter of the ground due to the change in induced flow

Out of ground effect(OGE):
-greater than 1 rotor diameter from ground, allows full vortex
In ground effect(IGE):
-less than 1 rotor diameter above the ground over a hard smooth surface 2 diameters wider
-increases AoA for the same pitch angle

112
Q

Coriolis Effect

A
  • tendency of a rotor blade to change its rotational velocity(RPM) in its plane of rotation when the Center of Mass(CM) moves closer or further from the Axis of Rotation(AoR)
  • blade flaps center of mass moves closer to the AoR causing an increase in RPM (ice skater)
113
Q

Blade Coning

A
  • an upward sweep of the rotor blades as a result of lift and centrifugal force
  • angle determined by the resultant force of lift and centrifugal force
  • allowed through blade bending, the flapping hinge, the coning hinge, or a combo of both
  • accentuated by - low RPM, high GW +load factor
114
Q

Translating Tendency

A

-tendency for a helicopter to drift in the direction of the tail rotor thrust during hovering flight

Compensated by:

  • manual inputs
  • main rotor mast rigging
  • flight controls rigging
  • tail rotor location
115
Q

A

Steady Green:
G = cleared for takeoff
A = Cleared to land

Flashing Green:
G = cleared to taxi
A = return for landing

Steady Red:
G = stop
A = give way to other aircraft

Flashing Red:
G = taxi clear of runway
A = airport is unsafe / do not land

Flashing White:
G = return to starting point

Alternating Green/Red:
A = exercise extreme caution
