UH-72 RFM Flashcards
Define Height-Velocity Envelope
5.1.9
The diagram shows the area which is critical for helicopter operation in the event of a single engine failure during takeoff, landing, or other operation near the ground.
The curves are applicable for landing sites with smooth firm surfaces and define the conditions in which a safe landing can be made after an engine suddenly becomes inoperative.
Rotor brake limitations
9.2-58-3 2.1
The rotor brake shall not be applied until both engines are shut down and rotor RPM has dropped below 50%
Do not apply the rotor brake at temperatures below -30°C
Allow for a minimum cooling period of 10 minutes before next application of rotor brake
NOTE if an emergency stop of the rotor is necessary, apply rotor brake anytime after both engines are shut down. Before next application of the rotor brake after an emergency stop, maintenance action is required.
