TD 14

Question 1

Fuel Pressure gauge

Answer 1

R = 4 PSI Minimum

G = 4-30 PSI Continuous Operation

R = 30 PSI Maximum

|> 8 PSI Minimum - Type A, A-1, JP-5, JP-8 fuel below -18C (0F) to -32C (-25F)

(With load meter)

Question 2

Airspeed Indicator

with note

Answer 2

NOTE
Autorotation above 100 KIAS will result in high rates of descent and low rotor RPM.

G = 0-130 Knots Continuous Operation

R = 130 Knots Maximum

B = 100 Knots Maximum for Autorotation

Vne for internal Gross Weight above 3,200 pounds is 78 KIAS, not to exceed placarded Vne.

Question 3

Load Meter

Answer 3

R = 70% Maximum

With fuel pressure gauge

Question 4

Partial or Complete Power Loss

warning

Answer 4

Do not respond to the RPM warning system by entering autorotation and reducing the throttle without first confirming engine malfunction by one or more of the other indications. Normal indications signify that the engine is functioning properly and that there is a tachometer generator failure or an open circuit to the warning system, rather than an actual engine malfunction.

Question 5

Partial or Complete Power Loss

indications

Answer 5

The indications of an engine malfunction, either a partial or a complete power loss are: left yaw, drop in engine RPM (N1 and N2), drop in rotor RPM, low RPM audio alarm (steady tone), illumination of the LOW ROTOR RPM caution light, and change in engine noise. If the power loss is total, the ENGINE OUT warning light will activate and an intermittent (warbling) tone will be heard.

Question 6

Engine Restart- during flight

Answer 6

CAUTION
Do no attempt air restart above 12,000 feet MSL (TURB OUT TEMP rises too fast to control).

After an engine failure in flight, an engine start may be attempted. Because the exact cause of engine failure can not be determined in flight, the decision to attempt the start will depend on the altitude and time available, rate of descent, potential landing areas, and crew assistance available. 52-60 KIAS is recommended during the descent. Under ideal conditions, approximately one minute is required to regain powered flight from the time the attempted start is begun. If the decision is made to attempt an in-flight start:

Throttle- CLOSE
Fuel Valve Switch- ON
Attempt start
Land as soon as POSSIBLE
