Question 1

According to Ar 95-1, is the radar altimeter required for a day VMC flight?

Answer 1

Yes, if conducting water operations. Unclear if you don’t need it when not doing water OPs.
(AR 95-1 pg.39)

Question 2

Shutting down the aircraft in the middle of the summer with a high OAT, what should be considered when bringing the engines to stop?

Answer 2

It may be necessary to motor the engines if temperatures do not decrease below 350C. It may not be possible to lower them temperature to 260C. If the temperature will not decrease below 260*C, terminate motoring when the temperature indication stabilizes.

Question 3

Are both SFDs required for flight?

Answer 3

No, “One SFD is required for VMC only if CAAS is 100 percent operational. If CAAS is operating with any MFD, CDU, or DCS failure, both SFDs are required.”
(CH-47 min equipment list)

Answer 4

Minimum of 3 MFDs operational: 1 and 4, and 2 or 3. Same for IMC.
