Water

Question 1

What is the indication for engine performance loss?

February 3-3

Answer 1

Increase in TGT

Question 2

When will TGTs be compared to the baseline you took before going feet wet?

February 3-3

Answer 2

During downwind of the pattern

Question 3

What are the TGT increases we are looking for?

February 3-3

And what does each temperature increase indicate

Answer 3

TGT rise of 20 degrees or more is an indication of engine performance degradation (possible salt encrustation.
TGT rise of 40 degrees may result in compressor stall(s).

Question 4

At what altitude AWL can we expect for salt buildup to increase?

February 3-3

Answer 4

Below 30’ AWL

Question 5

What is the primary means for overwater flight?

February 3-3

Answer 5

The flight director

Question 6

What is the CAUTION associated with the survivor using smoke to signal in maritime operations?

February 3-3

Answer 6

Do not use it when an oil or fuel spill is near the survivor.

Question 7

What is the call if SMA is unable to scan anywhere else without losing visual with survivor?

February 3-3

Answer 7

PADLOCKED

Question 8

NOTE: During the operational testing of the MOT function, how long did it take to execute the manuever (established in Hover Position Mode)?

February 3-3

Answer 8

3.5-4.5 minutes

Question 9

NOTE: What is the drawback of using Continuous Mode (CONT)?

February 3-3

Answer 9

It will render radio communications on that frequency unusable.

Question 10

What are the three primary approach methods?

February 3-3

Answer 10

1. MOT to offset hover
2. FD Alt/Airspeed hold to final, then Z-axis plunge direct to hover
3. MOT to final, then Z-axis plunge direct to hover

Question 11

NOTE: Where will the MOT function position the aircraft?

February 3-3

Answer 11

200’ AWL
100m downwind
100m left of the point where activated

Question 12

NOTE: What determines the turn direction for the pattern after activating the MOT function?

February 3-3

Answer 12

By the FCCs based on wind conditions.

Question 13

CAUTION: What has to be considered if you have to move the aircraft backward?

February 3-3

Answer 13

Climb to a safe altitude (above 30’) prior to backup up because it is possible to dip the tail into the water.

Question 14

NOTE: What will expedite the team member and survivor entry into the cabin during a barrel-man recovery?

February 3-3

Answer 14

Setting the parking brake

Question 15

What hover height is recommended for water ops?

February 3-3

Answer 15

70’ AWL

Question 16

WARNING: Which device should not be pulled through the water by the hoist to get it into a postion for hoisting? Why?

February 3-3

Answer 16

The stokes, cable shock loading and survivor drowning may occur.

Question 17

When using the stokes/rescue basket what course of action should the hoist operator follow if a spin develops?

February 3-3

Answer 17

Stop reeling cable in, establish a 15-20 knot forward troll using the FD

Question 18

When should the SMA deploy the Rope Lader?

February 3-3

Answer 18

Once established in parameters, approximately 50’ short of the first team member.

Question 19

What will the SMA call for/do after a RL, Fast Rope, or helocast?

February 3-3

Answer 19

Climb out of the sea spray (usually 70’) to pull in the ropes.

Question 20

What is the predeployment consideration for a helocast to a survivor?

February 3-3

Answer 20

The aircraft’s flightpath should not pass directly over the survivor until the hoist pickup phase to reduce rotor wash over the survivor.

Question 21

What are the helocast parameters?

February 3-3

Answer 21

10 KGS
10’ AWL
Maximums

Question 22

What is the sequence of events for a helocast?

February 3-3

Answer 22

• Doors open
• Team disconnected once on final
• Aircraft in parameters (10 and 10)
• SMA calls “standing by swimmers”
• Pilot calls “Swimmers swimmer swimmers”
• SMA gives knife hand signal to swimmers while shouting
• “First swimmer out, second simmwer out etc.”
• Once team is deployed call “clear up to 70’”
• Verify a good thumbs up from each team member “3 thumbs up right side”

Question 23

What is the minimum airspeed in the pattern?

February 3-3

Answer 23

50 KIAS

Question 24

What is the max AOB in the pattern?

February 3-3

Answer 24

30 degrees

Question 25

What is the Flight Manual warning associated with right vs left hand FD turns?

February 3-3

Answer 25

Right turns may cause airspeed to decelerate below 50 KIAS. This deceleration will disengage the FD and could place the aircraft in a near zero airspeed, high AOB, and high rate of descent.

Question 26

What is the minimum pattern altitude until established on final?

February 3-3

Answer 26

100’ AWL

Question 27

What will be accomplished on every downwind?

February 3-3

Answer 27

TFG
But what we really care about is the TGTs, checking for salt degredation

Question 28

What does the Combat Rubber Raiding Craft weigh empty?

February 3-3

Answer 28

280 pounds

Question 29

What is the sequence of events for a T-Duck CRRC procedure?

February 3-3

Answer 29

• At the 5 min call, the team extends the FRIES bar
• At the 1 min call the belayman is in place, slack removed from the belay rope
• Aircraft gets established in hover
• PF gives the “ropes” call
• Team pushes boat out of aircraft, belayman lowers it slowly into water
• One or more persons then deploy out the opposite door via fast rope and release the boat from the rope
• Remaining personnel deploy via fast rope

Question 30

For maintenance debriefing, what salt spray conditions require entries in 781A?

Answer 30

1. “Engines subjected to salt spray at ____feet”
2. If aircraft flown within 10 miles of saltwater or fligth below 3000’ AWL “Aircraft exposed to salt air at____ miles/____ feet”
3. Hoist used in salt water (for lives/not for lives modifier)
