Pre Solo Test

Question 1

TASK 1040.01 Normal Takeoff -

Select reference points to maintain the _____. Maintain ____ (preferably into the wind) with pedals and adjust cyclic to attain an accelerative attitude as appropriate. Smoothly increase the ____ (normally _____ more than hover power) so that the helicopter gains speed and height. Adjust the cyclic to maintain desired ground track and continue the acceleration or transition to terrain flight. When reaching ____ KIAS, maintain airspeed until reaching ____ feet AGL, maintain heading with pedals below ___ feet AGL, or clear of the ____. Place the aircraft in trim above ___ feet or as appropriate for obstacle clearance or transition to terrain flight, then accelerate to velocity for best rate of climb (Vy)(___kts) and climb through ___ feet AGL. Adjust the cyclic to maintain airspeed and collective to attain desired rate of climb (___ fpm).

Answer 1

ground track, heading, collective, .5 FLI, 50, 50, 50, obstacles, 50, 65, 100, 300

Question 2

Define Translating Tendency

Answer 2

During hovering flight, the counterclockwise rotating, single-rotor helicopter has a tendency to drift laterally to the right. The translating tendency results from right lateral tail-rotor thrust exerted to compensate for main rotor torque (main rotor turning in a counterclockwise direction).

Question 3

Human factors considered in the prevention of dynamic rollover include:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.

Answer 3

1. Inattention
2. Inexperience
3. Failure to take timely action
4. Inappropriate control input
5. Loss of visual reference

Question 4

What are the conditions required for a Dynamic Rollover?

Answer 4

Pivot Point, Rolling Motion, Exceeding the critical angle

Question 5

Define dissymmetry of lift

Answer 5

the differential (unequal) lift between advancing and retreating halves of the rotor disk caused by the different wind flow velocity across each half.

Question 6

What is Transverse Flow Effect?

Answer 6

In forward flight, air passing through the rear portion of the rotor disk has a greater downwash angle than air passing through the forward portion. This is due to the fact the greater the distance air flows over the rotor disk, the longer the disk has to work on it and the greater the deflection on the aft portion. Downward flow at the rear of the rotor disk causes a reduced AOA, resulting in less lift. The front portion of the disk produces an increased AOA and more lift because airflow is more horizontal. These differences in lift between the fore and aft portions of the rotor disk are called transverse flow effect

Question 7

The standards for performing Visual Meteorological Conditions Flight are:
1. Turns:
2. Climbs/Descents
3. Traffic Pattern Flight:
A
B

Answer 7

1. Rollout on desired heading +- 10 degrees
2. Stop climb/descent at desired altitude +-100 feet
   3
   A enter, operate in, and depart a traffic pattern
   B comply with all ATC directives

Question 8

For traffic pattern training, the recommended airspeed and rate of climb/descent on crosswind and base legs are ____ KIAS and ____ feet per minute (FPM). Maximum bank angle for turns is ____ degrees
