Question 1

1. Under what conditions will NG and TGT appear on the power pod display of the MFD?

Answer 1

NG

• Either engine NG exceeds 100%.
• The difference between NG1 and NG2 exceeds 5%.
• Either engine is out (indication of engine out comes from the DCU).

TGT

• Either engine TGT exceeds the continuous limit of 793°C.
• The difference between TGT1 and TGT2 exceeds 75°C.
• Either engine is out (indication of engine out comes from the DCU).

Question 2

2. The active cursor display can be switched between the onside MFDs using the _____________ icon?

Answer 2

The active cursor display can be switched between onside MFDs using the screen jump icon.

Question 3

3. Discuss the heading hold functions in FPS above and below 50 knots.

Answer 3

The yaw axis of the FPS provides heading hold at airspeeds less than 50 knots and heading hold or turn coordination at airspeeds greater than 50 knots.

For detail description see -10 (2.33.5 Flight Path Stabilization (FPS)).

Question 4

4. Why should the windshield wipers not be operated on a dry windshield? Why should the wipers be parked if they slow noticeably?

Answer 4

To prevent possible damage to windshield surface, do not operate windshield wipers on a dry windshield.

At airspeeds greater than 120 KIAS or during periods of reduced rain intensity the windshield wipers may slow noticeably. If this occurs, wipers must be parked immediately to avoid wiper motor failure.

Question 5

5. What conditions must exist simultaneously for settling with power to occur?

Answer 5

Rate of decent above 300 feet/min

Slow airspeed (below ETL)

20-100% pwr applied (with unsufficient power to recover)

Question 6

6. In the event of a dual engine fire, if both Engine Fire T-handles are pulled and then the fire extinguisher activated, which engine compartment will the extinguisher discharge into? What is the WARNING associated with fire protection systems?

Answer 6

Question 7

7. What is the recommended airspeed for Autorotation in a UH-60? Below what airspeed during an autorotation will the rate of descent increase while the glide distance decreases? What should be considered when discussing pitch attitudes of the helicopter during deceleration?

Answer 7

• 80 KIAS
• 64 KIAS
• Pitch Att:
  
  • NR increase
  • >25 degrees, stab contact
  • Rough ground

Question 8
