Q

Loss of Tail Rotor Control

A

WARNING

  • Following the appearance of the #1 TAIL RTR SERVO caution without the associated BACK UP PUMP ON and #2 TAIL RTR SERVO ON advisories, the aircraft will demonstrate normal yaw responses in flight regimes that do not require excessive tail rotor performance; however, at slower airspeeds, below approximately 40 KIAS, more pronounced effects of loss of tail rotor control may become more apparent.
  • After touchdown, rapid reduction of collective or PCLs may cause excessive and uncontrollable yaw rates.
  • If an uncontrolled right yaw develops at too low of an airspeed, loss of waveoff capability may result. Increasing collective may increase the yaw to unrecoverable rates. Performing Loss Of Tail Rotor Drive (Altitude And Airspeed Not Sufficient To Establish Autorotation) procedure may be required.

*1. Collective/airspeed — Adjust as required to control yaw.

WARNING

If the tail rotor control cables are damaged, the hydraulic transients associated with switching the TAIL SERVO switch from NORM to BKUP may cause catastrophic damage to the tail rotor controls.

  1. If hydraulic malfunction is evident:
    a. TAIL SERVO switch — BKUP.
    b. BACKUP HYD PMP switch — Check ON.
    c. Backup Hydraulic Pump Fails to Operate emergency procedure — Perform, as required.
  2. External cargo/stores/fuel — Jettison/dump, as required.
  3. Land as soon as practicable.
  4. APU Emergency Start procedure — Perform prior to landing.
  5. PCLs — As required.

Q

Tail/Intermediate Transmission Malfunction

A

If failure is imminent:

*1. Land immediately.

If failure is not imminent:

*2. Land as soon as possible.

WARNING

  • High power settings require maximum performance of the tail rotor drive system and may precipitate ultimate drive failure.
  • Consideration should be given to transiting at an altitude sufficient to enter an autorotation and performing the applicable steps of the Immediate Landing/Ditching emergency procedure.

Note

An INT XMSN OIL HOT or TAIL XMSN OIL HOT caution occurring simultaneously with a WCA MISCOMPARE alert may be an indication of a mission computer/backup computer card failure.

Q

Main Transmission Malfunction

A

WARNING

Possible indications of main transmission imminent failure may include: yaw attitude excursions with no control input, an increase in power required for a fixed collective setting, failure of a main generator or hydraulic pump, increased noise, increased vibration levels, or abnormal fumes in the cabin.

If failure is imminent:

*1. Land immediately.

If secondary indications are present:

*2. Land as soon as possible.

  1. APU Emergency Start procedure — Perform.
  2. No. 1 and No. 2 GENERATOR switches — OFF, as required.

If no secondary indications are present:

  1. Land as soon as practicable.

WARNING

Operation of the main gearbox with no oil pressure may result in failure of the tail rotor drive takeoff pinion gear and subsequent loss of tail rotor drive.

Note

  • Consideration should be given to performing the applicable steps of the Immediate Landing/Ditching emergency procedure and transiting at a minimum power airspeed and low altitude flight profile (approximately 80 feet and 80 KIAS) to permit a quick flare followed by an immediate landing/ditching.
  • A loss of all main transmission lubricating oil may result in unreliable temperature indications from the main transmission temperature gauge and temperature sensor (caution).
  • Continued operations in the precautionary range for temperature and pressure are acceptable provided that the ambient conditions and flight regime of the aircraft correspond with the guidance set forth in the transmission limitations section of Chapter 4.

Q

Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuations

A

If an engine instrument is spiking/fluctuating and inducing secondary indications in Ng, Np, and/or Nr:

*1. Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure — Perform.

If fuel contamination is suspected:

*2. Land as soon as possible.

WARNING:

PCL movement during engine fluctuations may precipitate an engine failure. Consider performing APU Emergency Start procedure prior to manipulating the PCL. Maintaining a low power setting when moving the PCL will minimize the Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails.

If engine electronic circuitry is suspected:

  1. PCL (malfunctioning engine) — Momentarily advance to LOCKOUT, then retard to set:
    a. Torque 10% below good engine, or
    b. Matched Ng, or
    c. Matched TGT.

If fluctuations persist:

  1. PCL (engine in LOCKOUT) — Retard to IDLE, then return to FLY.
  2. Repeat Steps 3. and 4. for other engine, as required.

If an engine instrument is spiking/fluctuating with

no secondary indications:

  1. Land as soon as practicable.
