Question 2

Fixed Pedal High TQ

Answer 2

Definition: Loss of control resulting in a fixed pitch setting. Whether the nose of the helicopter yaws left or right is dependent upon the amount of pedal applied at the time of malfunction.

Indications: The nose of the helicopter will turn left when power is reduced.

Procedures: (MCE, TC)
Maintain control with power (40-70 kts)
Continue powered flight to a suitable landing where a run-on landing can be accomplished.
Execute a run-on landing with power and a touchdown speed which will minimize sideslip. Use throttle and collective as necessary

Question 3

Fixed Pedal Low TQ

Answer 3

Definition: Loss of control resulting in a fixed pitch setting. Whether the nose of the helicopter yaws left or right is dependent upon the amount of pedal applied at the time of malfunction.

Indications: the nose of the helicopter will turn right when power is applied

Procedures: (If, ATC, IF NOT)

1. If the helicopter control can be maintained in power flight, maintain control with power and accomplish run-on landing as soon as PRACTICABLE. Use airspeed, throttle, and collective to reduce sideslip angle
2. If helicopter control cannot be maintained, close throttle immediately and accomplish autorotational landing.
