Question 1

While starting the aircraft for a DAY VFR flight it is discovered that the #4 MFD will only display the PFD and Engine Instrument Caution Advisory System (EICAS) pages and the #2 MFD is inoperative. Is it still legal to fly the aircraft?

Answer 1

YES, a minimum of 3 MFDs must be operational to fly.

A MFD is considered operational if the PFD and EICAS pages can be displayed and provide the required information.

Question 2

What is the purpose of the Main Rotor Head Lead Stop installed on the forward edge of each elastomeric bearing endplate?

Answer 2

Each spindle has attached lead lag stops which prevent damage to the spindles during rotor brake operation (when installed).

Question 3

The Active Vibration Control System (AVCS) uses force generators to counterbalance airframe vibration. This is accomplished by mechanically generating additional airframe vibratory loads out-of-phase with the main rotor induced 4 per rev vibrations such that the resulting cockpit/cabin vibration is reduced. The AVCS maintains consistent vibration performance with varying rotor speeds from ____1___ through ___2____. An ______3_____ advisory will appear when the system is not operating.

Answer 3

1. 90 NR 2. 105 NR 3. AVCS INOP
