Question 1

What is the WARNING about the antennas when performing pre-flight of the cabin top of the helicopter?

Answer 1

The SATCOM and COM3 antennas are a trip hazard. Care must be taken while accessing the APU compartment not to trip on or damage these antennas.

Question 2

What is the CAUTION associated with the UES during the NOSE SECTION check on preflight?

Answer 2

Ensure no heat damage (blistering, charring or disbanding) to main rotor blades with UES installed.

Question 3

I BAROMETRIC ALTITUDE PRE- SELECT (ALTP) Hold Mode will capture when the helicopter is within _______ feet of the pre-selected altitude. When the helicopter reaches the selected altitude the FD will ______ the ALT mode and ALTP will _______.

Answer 3

300, engage , disengage

Question 4

Discuss all the ways the pilot can adjust the Barometric Altitude Hold once it has been engaged.

Answer 4

Using the P-sync knob, or using the collective trim beeper. Rate of 4 fps for the first 4 seconds. After 5 seconds, the altitude will change at a rate of 16 fps. Holding it greater than 5 seconds results in approximately a 1000 fpm change to the reference ALT

Question 5

Helicopter SVFR minima is ____ visibility and ___________ unless a higher minimum is required at the airfield

Answer 5

1/2 mi , COC

Question 6

While in cruise flight at 100 KIAS and 46% torque, you notice ice starting to form on the aircraft. As the ice builds more torque is required to maintain level flight. What actions are required if the torque required to maintain level flight increases to 66% or more? What does this indicate may no longer be possible?

Answer 6

Exit the Icing conditions and Land as soon as Possible. A 20% torque increase indicates that normal autorotational NR may not be possible, should dual engine failure occur.
