Question 18

Engine(s) - Start

Answer 18

W: Rotor brake slip = shut down or release rotor brake

N: During rotor brake ops theres no NP or Q readings until release, main XSMN Pressure caution remains until release, HYD PUMP cautions remain until release,
N: Fuel press low may appear, should be gone before stabilized ground idle
N: Dont use boost pumps to extinguish Fuell press low cautions during a start
C: Dont move EPCL from idle to off while pressing starter
C: Neutral controls, no more than 1 inch collective until 50% NR to avoid damage to anti flap bracket bushings
N:If starter drops out with EPCL OFF when releasing button, start attempt may be continued, press and hold until 52 to 65% NG and release
C: Minimize cyclic input with rotor brake off starts to minimize DSP
N: One second delay from starter disengage and ENG STARTER ON caution disappearing. NG May be above 65% but ENG Starter on caution must disappear by the time engine reaches idle.

Question 19

Hydraulic leak test system

Answer 19

N: Dont hold in test position, wont test properly because it holds the circuit open instead of allowing LDI to check automatically
N: If Backup hydraulic pump is still running following leak test, place OFF and back to auto

Question 20

Tail rotor transfer BACKUP

Answer 20

Failure of the Backup pump ON or T/R Servo 2 advisory to appear indicates LDI failure

Question 21

Engine Runup

Answer 21

W: Restricto movement rate with lockpin not engaged
N: During single engine ground ops with collective full down, NP/NR May indicate 99% pull 1/2 in collective to remedy, more likely in hot weather

Question 22

De ICE EOT

Answer 22

C: Above 21 degrees, operate 100% for 5 min before doing EOT to prevent overheating. Dont test above 38 degrees

Question 24

CEFS fuel transfer Check

Answer 24

N: Theres a timing error between CEFS and DCUs during power up. TANK ID CHANGED Caution may be shown on EICAS and will be missing fuel quantities. To correct, 3 min after APU or external power applied, cycle DCU 1 and 2 circuit breakers.

Question 25

Health indicator test

Answer 25

W: Any part fails DNF
W: Dont cycle anti ice bleed and start valve more than once. DNF if TGT rise less than 30 or if you have to cycle switch to get it to rise.
C: Malfunction engine anti ice and inlet anti ice may result in power losses up to 40% max torque available when in 30 min TGT limits. Any part of inlet AI fails DNF
N: If you use the force function it will still display
N: May use in flight HIT in desert to avoid sand ingestion.

C: Landing and search lights have less than a foot of clearance full extension. Use caution when landing into rough terrain

Question 28

Answer 30

W: If external fuel transfer not used in auto, careful planning must be used to maintain tank CG limits
W: Flares burn, ensure CMWS arm/safe switch is SAFE and safety pin installed when not required

Question 31

Landing

Answer 31

C: During roll on aero braking, once mains touch down cyclic must be centered prior to reducing collective. Aero braking prohibited once main landing gear touch down, use brakes.

Question 32

After landing

Answer 32

W: After installing crew safety pin, pull on it to ensure installed correctly

Question 33

Parking shutdown EPC to idle

Answer 33

W: restrict movement rate with lockpin disengaged
N: If droop stop wont go in, shut down one engine to lower rotor in attempt to seat. If still wont go in, accel NR to 75% , then repeat shutdown with slightly displaced cyclic to attempt to dislodge jammed stop. If perma jammed, clear area and proceed with shutdown and neutral controls.
C: Dont increase collective pitch during rotor coast down to help anti flap stops life
C: Before EPCL off, engine must cool at 90% NG or less for 2 min. If you cant do this and have to restart engine, restart within 5 min. If you cant restart within 5 min, wait 4 hours.

Question 34

Pressure refueling

Answer 34

All switches on AUX FUEL panel shall be set with power applied to ensure valves in proper position for tank to be refueled.
