Q

What is the purpose of the blade pitch change horn?

A

To give the feathering pitch change mechanism (cyclic/swashplate) a place to attach to the blade

Swash plate => Pitch link => Pitch horn

Q

What is the purpose of the blade grip?

A

Attaches the blade to the main rotor. The pitch links are attached to the blade grips. The blade grips have bearings and fluid inside them.

Rotor head => Blade grip => Rotor blade

Q

What is the purpose of the pitch link?

A

To make sure the blade responds to the collective and cyclic control commands corresponding to the swashplate’s position

Swash plate => Pitch link => Pitch horn

Q

What is the purpose of the “tip weights”

A

They add a slight bit of weight to the tips of the rotor in order to help with the low inertia

Q

Describe the air intake system

A

There is a box at the bottom of the helicopter. This box leads to the carburetor. The air flowing through the carburetor can be one of three types of air:
- Outside air intake
- Heated air intake (from the exhaust shroud)
- Or a combination (controlled by the carb heat control)

Q

What is the purpose of the flex couplings?

A

It allows the clutch acuator to move the top pulley up and down in order to tighten the clutch v-belts. This moving up/down slightly changes the position of the drive shaft. This change in position is accounted for by the flex couplers.

17
Q

Where is the sprag clutch located?

A

On the back side of the upper pulley

18
Q

What is the purpose of the sprag clutch? (2 things)

A

1) It transfers power from the engine to the rotor system
2) If the engine fails, it allows the rotor to continue turning, while the engine RPM slows

19
Q

What is a pilot looking for on the teletemps?

A

No more than two squares

Describe the governor
A sensing device that senses rotor and engine RPM and makes the necessary adjustments in order to keep rotor RPM constant.
30
Describe the correlator
Mechanical connection between the collective lever and the engine throttle. When the collective is raised, power is automatically increased and vice versa.
31
Does the correlator require slight throttle adjustments? Does the governor?
Yes/No
