LTE (Ch8) DESCRIBE
- -is the occurrence of an uncommanded and rapid right yaw rate which does not subside of its own accord and which, if not quickly reacted to, can result in loss of aircraft control.
1. WeathercockStability(120-240) - winds weathervane a/c into relative wind
- slow uncommanded yaw left or right
- right yaw can develop into an LTE
2. Vortex Ring(210-330) - vortex ring state develops around tail rotor
- uncommanded pitch, roll, and yaw
- maintaining a precise heading will be impossible
- pilot workload high
3. Disc Vortex(280-330) - main rotor tip vortices to be directed onto the tail rotor
- tail rotor operates in an extremely turbulent environment
- sudden uncommanded right yaw, if uncorrected, develops into spin
LTE (Ch9) EMERGENCY
This is a situation involving a loss of effective tail rotor thrust WITHOUT a break in the drive system which CANNOT be stopped with full left pedal application. If LTE is experienced, SIMULTANEOUSLY:
- PEDAL: FULL LEFT.
- CYCLIC: FORWARD
- As recovery is affected, adjust controls for normal flight.
- If spin cannot be stopped and crash is imminent, an AUTO may be the best course of action. Maintain full left pedal until the spin stops, then adjust to maintain heading.
WARNING: COLLECTIVE REDUCTION will aid in arresting the yaw rate; however, if a rate of descent has been established, collective reduction may increase the rate of descent to an excessive value. The resultant large and rapid increase in collective to prevent ground or obstacle contact may further increase the yaw rate, decrease the rotor RPM and cause an over torque and/or over-temperature condition. Therefore, the decision to reduce collective must be based on the pilot assessment of the altitude available for recovery.
Dynamic Rollover
A helicopter is susceptible to a lateral-rolling tendency called dynamic rollover. Dynamic rollover can occur on level ground as well as during a slope or crosswind landing and takeoff. Three conditions are required for dynamic rollover: --pivot point right skid downslope --rolling motion left pedal inputs, lateral loading --exceed critical angle crosswind and high roll rates
PHYSICAL FACTORS (MAST-C): -Main Rotor Thrust -Aircraft CG/Low fuel -Sloped landing area -Tail-rotor thrust -Crosswind HUMAN FACTORS: -Failure to make timely control movements -Loss of visual reference points -Inexperience -Inattention
