Question 1

During all fixed pitch situations the nose of the aircraft will turn (left/right) when power or airspeed is increased or decreased?

Answer 1

In all fixed pitch situations the nose of the helicopter will turn to the right when power or airspeed is increased and turn to the left when collective or airspeed is decreased

Question 2

Hearing protection devices are required to worn when? What type(s) are required to be worn in or around an operating UH-60?

Answer 2

Hearing protection devices, such as the aviator helmet or ear plugs are required to be worn by all personnel in and around the helicopter during its operation.

Question 3

When exceeded, what hydraulic pump temperature requires an entry on DA Form 2408-13-1?

Answer 3

When the temperature label indicates that a temperature of 132°C (270°F) has been exceeded, an entry shall be made on DA Form 2408-13-1.

Question 4

IAW the Current AWR1726, how do we have to power on both the inboard MFD’s and why?

Answer 4

Both inboard MFDs shall be powered on within five seconds of each other to ensure that JVMF messages are properly displayed.

Question 5

In most cases, how long should you take retarding a power control lever when performing engine shutdown in flight?

Answer 5

If the decision is made to shut down an engine, take at least five full seconds while retarding the ENG POWER CONT lever.

Question 6

What are the two CAUTIONS associated with GROUND TAXI?

Answer 6

When performing these maneuvers, cyclic inputs should be minimized to prevent droop stop pounding.

Landing and searchlight have less than one foot ground clearance when extended. Use caution when taxiing over rough terrain when landing light and/or searchlight are extended.

Question 7

The stabilator is programmed to perform what five functions.

Answer 7

1. Streamlines w/ rotor downwash at low A/S (bleow 30 kts) to minimize nose up attitude from downwash. (ADC, FCC)
2. Collective Coupling to minimize pitch attitude excursions due to collective inputs. (Collective Pos. Transducers) (Begins@30 kts)
3. Angle of Incidence decreases above 30 kts. to improve static stability. (ADC, FCC)
4. Lateral sidelsip to pitch coupling to reduce susceptibility to gusts. Stab up for right pedal, Down for left. (Lat. Accelerometers)
5. Pitch Rate Feedback to improve dynamic stability. Dampens pitch excursions to due to turbulence or “G” forces. (EGI FCC)

Question 8

What is the most expedient way to copy map files (such as updating maps) to the DTS, if it already has a large number of map files loaded on it?

Answer 8

The DTS has an internal memory which is di-videdintoUSERandCACHEpartitions. TheUSERpar-titionisusedbytheDTSforfilemanagementandisnot relevant to the pilot. The CACHE partition provides 2 GB of memory for storing DIG MAP files for faster pro-cessing. OnceDIGMAPfileshavebeenloadedinto
