Question 1

1. What does the Go Around (Go ARND) Mode provide, and how is it engaged? Can the pilot change FPM ROC and airspeed reference?

Answer 1

• The GO ARND mode provides pitch, roll, collective cues, and FPS commands to establish a wings level 750 fpm Rate of Climb (ROC) while maintaining 70 knots.
• Manually engaged by pressing the GO ARND button on the corresponding FD/DCP or the GO ARND button on the cyclic grip.
• The pilot cannot change the 750 fpm ROC and 70 knot airspeed references however, the pilot can at any time engage IAS or VS modes and adjust the desired airspeed or rate of climb.

Question 2

2. When is the LOC legend displayed on the FD/DCP? When will BC be displayed on the FD/DCP?

Answer 2

• The LOC mode can only be engaged at indicated airspeeds of 50 knots and above. The LOC legend is displayed on the FD/DCP when a ILS localizer source is selected as the NAV source for the corresponding FD and when the difference between the selected course and the actual heading is less than 105°.
• The BC legend is displayed on the FD/DCP when a localizer source is selected by the NAV SRC knob as the NAV source for the corresponding FD and when the difference between the selected course and the actual heading is less than 105°
• LOC front course must be selected with the OBS knob for proper operation of the BC mode.

Question 3

3. What does the ILS DECL mode provide?

Answer 3

The ILS DECL provides a means to automatically decelerate the helicopter from its present airspeed to 70 knots prior to the 200-foot AGL point on the glide slope.

Question 4

4. When can the VOR navigation mode be engaged?

Answer 4

The VOR navigation mode can only be engaged at indicated airspeeds of 50 knots and above.

VOR can only be engaged when a valid VOR frequency is tuned and the FCC is receiving a VOR valid signal.

Question 5

5. When will the VOR mode switch to station passage mode? What happens during this mode?

Answer 5

The VOR mode will switch to station passage mode when the FCC determines that the helicopter is over the VOR station. The CAP annunciation on the FD/DCP will change to SP to show the change in mode. The helicopter will stop attempting to track the VOR radial and will maintain the heading.

Question 6

6. While in the SP mode, when will the FD/DCP indicate VOR CAP again?

Answer 6

When the FCC determines the VOR signal has stabilized enough for navigation, the FD/DCP will indicate VOR CAP again

Question 7

7. What is the difference between a sign of hypoxia and a symptom of hypoxia?

Answer 7

• Signs of hypoxia can be observed by other crewmembers and are therefore considered objective.
• However, individual crewmembers can observe or feel their own symptoms. Since symptoms can vary from person to person, they are considered subjective.

Question 8

8. What does the T in the triangle indicate on the margin data?

Answer 8

“T” appears in the notes section, it signies the airport has nonstandard IFR takeoff minimums.

Question 9

9. The MSA for OZ (RUCKR) is 25 NM. What does this provide?

Answer 9

The MSA is provided for emergency purposes only and guarantees 1,000 feet obstruction clearance in the sector indicated with reference to the bearings in the circle.
