TD 91 Flashcards
When performing a running landing determine a shallow approach angle that allows safe obstacle clearance to arrive at the intended point of landing. Once the approach angle is intercepted, adjust the collective as necessary to establish and maintain the angle. Maintain entry airspeed until apparent the ground speed and rate of closure appear to be increasing, then ____
adjust the cyclic to arrive at 40 KIAS at 50 feet AGL
When performing a running landing maintain ground track alignment with the landing direction by maintaining the aircraft in trim above 50 feet AGL and aligning the aircraft with the landing direction below 50 feet AGL. Control the rate of descent not to exceed ______
300 FPM rate of descent at touchdown with collective
What is the NOTE associated with TASK 1065 Perform Running Landing
Units that are NOT equipped with the improved Brauer Aerospace full length skid shoes will not touch down to a hard surface for training
What are the standards for the Rated Crew member for task 1070 Respond to Emergencies?
a. analyze the situation
b. take proper action
c. select suitable landing area
d. assist in evacuating passengers
What is the NOTE associated with TASK 1070 Respond to Emergencies?
in case of engine malfunction or if one engine must be brought to idle, 65 KIAS will require the least amount of power
When responding to Engine Failure at Low Altitude/Low Airspeed/Cruse Flight the P* will immediately announce:
engine failure, adjust collective as necessary to m maintain rotor in l limits, immediately trim rotor to maximum while simultaneously adjusting the cyclic to maintain OEI flight, and maintaining aircraft in trim.
Before reaching 200 feet AGL, ensure that a steady-state autorotation is attained. If it is not, abort the maneuver or execute a go-around. A steady-state autorotation means that:
- Rotor RPM within limits
- aircraft is at the correct airspeed
- aircraft is in trim
- aircraft is in position to terminate at the intended landing area
Multi-aircraft operations involve two or more aircraft flying together in
briefed formations or while performing combat maneuvers
A team usually consists of two helicopters flying as lead and wingman. The wingman may fly to the right or left rear of the lead aircraft. When flying to the lead’s left rear. the wingman is flying in
echelon or staggered left
Fixed formations are used when more control is required. The flight acts as one aircraft regardless of the number of aircraft in the flight, and the movements of lead are
mirrored throughout the flight
Staggered is one of the most commonly used formations in Army aviation and is flown as a staggered right or staggered left. Each aircraft of the formation holds a position approximately 45 degrees astern of the aircraft to its front, alternating left and right. Chalk 2’s position
determines if the formation is staggered right or staggered left.
The lineup, taxi, and take off procedures describe the actions of team members in formation flight. For a standard departure as a flight describe the technique that lead will use for takeoff.
Take off smoothly and accelerate to 60 KIAS, climbing less than 500 fpm, and use 1/2 standard rate turns unless briefed otherwise.
All aircraft rotor disk separation is based on METT-TC considerations. Definitions for briefing purposes:
TIGHT: 1-2 disk
CLOSE: 3-5 disk
LOOSE: 6-10 disk
EXTENDED: >10 disk
When the flight is formed, trail will call “SADDLE, # of aircraft in flight and FENCE OUT” as a reminder to the formation. What does FENCE OUT mean?
reminder for battle checks or before landing checks
Ground based wires or towers are classified according to their height above the ground. Define:
Alpha: >100 feet
Bravo: 50 to 100 feet
Charlie: <50 feet
