S-70A-9 Bold Face Flashcards
LAND AS SOON AS PRACTICABLE
Land at the nearest suitable airfield/heliport/unit operating area.
LAND AS SOON AS POSSIBLE
Land without delay at the nearest area that minimises or prevents damage additional to that of the initial emergency.
The primary consideration is to ensure the survival of the occupants.
AUTOROTATE
- Collective – adjust to maintain RPMR.
- Cyclic/Pedals – adjust as required.
- Airspeed – adjust as required.
EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUTDOWN
Defined as engine shutdown without delay.
Engine shutdown in flight is usually not an immediate action item unless a fire exists.
Before attempting an engine shutdown, identify the affected engine by checking ENG OUT warnings, %RPM, %TRQ, ENG OIL PRESS, TGT TEMP and Ng SPEED.
- ENG PCL(s) – OFF.
- ENG FUEL SYS selector(s) – OFF.
- FUEL BOOST PUMP CONTROL switches – OFF.
If TGT is above 538ºC after shutdown:
- AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switches – as required.
- ENGINE IGNITION switch – OFF.
- Starter Button – press to motor engine for 30 seconds or until TGT TEMP decreases below 538ºC.
ECU LOCKOUT
2x CAUTIONS
No Bold Face actions require ECU LOCKOUT
Single Engine Power Loss
Oscillation
Torque Split
- ENG PCL:
(a) Pull down and maintain downward pressure.
(b) Positively advance fully forward, then retard to control RPMR. Release downward pressure.
(c) Retard to set:
(1) TRQ – 10% below good engine. or
(2) TGT – 50°C below good engine. or
(3) Ng – 1% below good engine.
EMERGENCY APU START
- HEATER switch – OFF.
- AIR SOURCE HEAT/START switch – APU.
- FUEL PUMP switch – APU BOOST.
- APU CONTROL switch – ON.
EMERGENCY EGRESS
1x WARNING
- Park brake – as required.
- EMERGENCY ENGINE(s) SHUTDOWN.
- ROTOR BRAKE – as required.
- APU – shutdown.
- BATT switch – OFF.
- Egress.
Cyclic position
DOUBLE ENGINE FAILURE (Info)
Autorotative Descent:
Recommended configuration for autorotation is 100% RPMR and 80 KIAS which is slightly higher than the airspeed for minimum ROD for all gross weights.
A flare before landing initiated below 80 KIAS will have very little effect on ROD.
Adjusting the cyclic and collective control to maintain 100% RPMR and 110 KIAS will result in achieving the
maximum glide distance.
Double Engine Failure (Hovering or Hover Taxi)
2x WARNINGS
- Collective – adjust as required.
- Tail Rotor Pedals – adjust as required.
- External load – jettison (if necessary).
- Collective – cushion landing.
RPMR
TGT
Double Engine Failure (Cruise Flight)
- AUTOROTATE.
- Gross weight – reduce (if possible/necessary).
If air restart is not possible:
3. Land.
If air restart is possible:
4. Single/dual engine AIR RESTART – perform.
Decreasing RPMR
“Rotors Low, Aborting”
- Collective – adjust to maintain RPMR.
- Airspeed – adjust to 70–80 KIAS.
- Gross weight – reduce (if possible/necessary).
If continued flight is not possible:
4. Land as soon as possible.
Engine High Speed Shaft Failure
- EMERGENCY ENGINE SHUTDOWN (affected engine). Do not attempt to restart.
Increasing RPMR
On the ground:
- TGT – identify engine with highest TGT.
- ENG PCL – retard highest TGT engine to set IDLE.
In flight:
- Collective – adjust to maintain RPMR.
- Airspeed – adjust.
- TGT – identify engine with highest TGT.
- ENG PCL – retard highest TGT engine to set:
(a) TRQ – 10% below good engine. or
(b) TGT – 50°C below good engine. or
(c) NG – 1% below good engine. - Land as soon as practicable.
RPMR Increasing/Decreasing (Oscillation)
It is possible for a malfunction to occur that can cause the affected engine to oscillate. The other engine will respond
to the change in power by also oscillating, usually with smaller amplitudes.
- Collective – adjust to maintain RPMR.
2. Airspeed – adjust to 70–80 KIAS.
Engine Compressor Stall
1x WARNING
Some indications of a stall are:
rapid fluctuations in TGT, fluctuating Ng, loss of power or a change in engine noise
level varying from barely audible to muffled explosions and yaw.
- Collective – lower.
- Airspeed – adjust to 70–80 KIAS.
Heated air and smoke
Stressful to engine components
Lightning Strike
1x WARNING
- Collective – adjust to maintain RPMR.
- ENG PCL(s) – adjust as required to control RPMR/TGT.
- Airspeed – adjust to 70–80 KIAS.
- Land as soon as possible.
Loss of electrical power
Max power (no limiting)
System instruments
ENGINE FIRE IN FLIGHT
1x WARNING
If confirmed:
- Airspeed – adjust to 70–80 KIAS.
- ENG PCL (affected engine) – OFF.
- ENG EMER OFF T–handle (affected engine) – actuate.
- FIRE EXTGH switch – MAIN/RESERVE as required.
- Land as soon as possible.
If not confirmed:
6. Land as soon as possible.
Engine fire warning light
ENGINE/APU/FUSELAGE FIRE ON THE GROUND
If the fire warning lights illuminate and/or fire is observed:
1. EMERGENCY ENGINE(s) SHUTDOWN.
