Servicing and Handling - NATOPS CH. 3 Flashcards
Note about who is authorized to perform servicing and handling
All PQMs and aircrewman qualified in model are authorized to perform servicing and handling of the aircraft when qualified maintenance personnel are not available.
Using loose pyrotechnics, smoking, or striking matches while working on the aircraft, or using any flame producing device within ______ feet of the helicopter may result in a fire.
50 feet
Fueling : A minimum of ____ feet should be maintained from other aircraft or structures and _____ feet from any operating radar set.
50 feet, 75 feet
What do you need to obtain fuel quantity readings?
Electrical power
Do you need to drain the fuel system when changing from one authorized fuel to another? Such as JP-5 to JP-8.
No
___________ may be encountered following nose down ground operations in excess of _____ minutes.
Flameouts, 10 minutes
To prevent engine flameout during launch, establish IGE hover for ____ seconds with no _______ ________ cautions.
10 seconds, FUEL PRESS
What are the four operational restrictions using JP-4/JET B?
- Takeoffs shall stabilize in a hover for 10 seconds with no fuel press cautions.
- Single engine training is prohibited.
- Operating characteristics may change. Lower operating temps, slower acceleration, and shorter range may be experienced.
- Due to the vapor qualities of mixed JP-4/JET B, the next two refueling with a primary fuel shall be treated as if JP-4/JET B is still present.
If tanks are suction refueled after JP-4/JET B, are tanks assumed to be rid of JP-4/JET B?
Yes
Fuel Changeover Procedure
- Assume all tanks are 100% filled with JP-4/JET B.
- During ground/flight operations, empty the external tanks into the main tank before refueling.
- Periodically refuel tanks with JP-5/8.
A cumulative of at least 2 refueling must be added.
What fuel must helicopters must be filled with prior to flying aboard a ship?
JP-5 (F-44)
What is the warning about hangaring when fueling with JP-5 is not possible?
Helicopters shall not be hangared until the flashpoint of the fuel tanks is above 120 degrees F.
Primary Fuel
A fuel that the aircraft is authorized to use for continuous, unrestricted operations.
Restricted Fuel
A fuel that imposes operational restrictions on the aircraft.
Emergency Fuel
A fuel which may be used for a minimum time when no other primary or restricted fuel is available in case of emergency or operational necessity.
What bulk fuel temperature do you have to keep the fuel above?
0 degrees C
Do you need electrical power to refuel?
No. The system will automatically shut off via the check valves when all tanks are full.
What pressure does pressure refueling occur?
55 psi
Internal fuel cell pressure greater than ____ psi can cause rapid fuel cell expansion, resulting in aircraft damage and fuel spill.
2 psi
If fuel quality is in question, how should the helicopter be refueled?
HIFR fitting
What mixture of JP-5 and JP-8 or JET A1 will ensure the minimum hangaring flashpoint of 120 degrees F?
70% JP-5
30% JP-8 or JET A1
What is FSII? What is a commercial additive we may use? What form is required?
Fuel System Icing Inhibitor
PRIST, only the premixed form. Aerosol can form is not authorized.
JP-5 Fuel Quantity
590 gallons, 4,012 lb
JP-8 Fuel Quantity
590 gallons, 3,953 lb
