TD-92

Question 1

1. If IIMC is encountered, what crew actions/procedures will be accomplished? (FTG)

Answer 1

1. Announce “Inadvertent IMC” 2. Transition to instrument flight Recovery: 3. Attitude: Level wings 4. Heading: Announce and maintain current heading (turn only to avoid known obstacles) 5. TQ: Climb or cruise PWR as appropriate 6. Airspeed: Announce and adjust Climb or cruise airspeed as appropriate 7. Trim: Maintain After AC control is established: 8. Transponder EMERGENCY 9. Complete recovery per local reg and policies

Question 2

2. After aircraft control is established in IIMC, what actions must be conducted IAW 1-212th SOP?

Answer 2

1. Set transponder to emergency 2. Climb to a minimum altitude of 3500’ MSL 3. Contact Cairns APP control (on emergency freq?) 4. State call sign and type AC, IIMC and intentions 5. After contact established, inform: - Position as accurately as possible - Altitude - Heading - Fuel remaining in hours and minutes - Number of people on board.

Question 3

3. After hover power check is done the TQ differential is 13%. What maneuvers can be performed? (FTG p. 22-23)

Answer 3

Within 10-14%: S-I-C: Steep approaches Instrument takeoffs Confined area operations.

Question 4

4. What are the actions of the P under the task “Maintain airspace surveillance”? (FTG p. 22)

Answer 4

The P will inform the P* of any unannounced heading, altitude, attitude or position changes. The P will announce his inability to assist due to concentration inside the AC.

Question 5

5. What are the slope limitations in the OH-58?

Answer 5

Slope operations shall be limited to slopes of 8 degrees or less

Question 6

6. What are the abort criteria for slope landings? (BWS acronyms checklist)

Answer 6

CAMPS Cyclic limits Aircraft limits Mast Bumping Personal limits Sliding

Question 7

7. What are the torque limits for the OH-58?

Answer 7

Green: 0 to 85%, Normal operation Yellow: 85 to 100%, 5 minute operation Red: 100% maximum

Question 8

8. What is spike knock? (-10)

Answer 8

Spike knock occurs when the round pin in the drag-pin fitting contacts the side of the square hole of the pylon stop, which is mounted to the roof. It creates a loud noise and will occur during a rocking of the pylon. Factors: low rotor RPM, extreme asymmetrical loading, poor execution of autorotational landing, and low G-maneuvers. Not in it self hazardous, but an indication of a condition that could be hazardous.

Question 9

9. While flying you experience a left yaw, drop in engine RPM, drop in rotor RPM, low RPM audio alarm, illumination of ROTOR RPM warning light, ENGINE OUT warning light, change in engine noise. What are your immediate action steps?

Answer 9

Engine malfunction.

1. AUTOROTATE
2. EMER SHUTDOWN. Accomplish during descent if time permits If partial power loss, confirm throttle full open.
