Weeks 1-2 Flashcards
Land Immediately
The urgency of landing is paramount. Primary considerations is to assure survival of the occupants. Landing in water, trees, or other area should be considered only as a last resort
Land As Soon As Possible
Land without delay at the nearest adequate site (i .e. open field) at which a safe approach and landing can be made
Land As Soon As Practicable
The landing site and duration of flight are at the discretion of the pilot. Extended flight beyond the nearest landing area where appropriate assistance can be expected is not recommended
OGE
Out of ground effect
Above 1 rotor diameter above the ground
IGE
In ground effect
downwash reacts with hard surface (ground)
A caution indication on the blank and ….
Two yellow master caution lights on the instrument panel indicate malfunction or failure conditions which do not require immediate crew action but the possible need for future corrective action
A red warning light ……
on the warning panel coming on together with a gong signal or dedicated audio signal indicates an emergency condition requiring immediate corrective action
Single Engine Emergency Action Notes
The Var NR system will revert to the manual mode automatically.
Before performing an in-flight single engine emergency shutdown, determine if the situation will allow for OEI flight
Make certain that:
The controls of the effected engine are selected, and the collective lever is adjusted to maintain the normal engine within the OEI limits
Single Engine Emergency Shutdown Procedure
- Twist grip (affected engine) - rotate slowly to idle, check indications, then to OFF
- Rotor speed - trim to maximum
Bleed air heating (if installed) will be shutdown automatically, however, depending on power margin of remaining engine, may be re-engaged as follows: - BLD HTG EMER/NORM SW - EMER
- BLD HTG Rheostat - ON
Double Engine Emergency Shutdown
ON GROUND
- Both twist grips - OFF
- Both FUEL PRIME PUMP sw - OFF
- BAT MSTR sw - OFF
Double Engine Emergency Shutdown
IN FLIGHT
- Both twist grips - OFF
If there is an indication that the engines are still running
- Both EMER OFF sw - Press
Emergency Response Method
F ly the aircraft A lert the crew D iagnose the emergency condition E xecute the emergency procedure C ommunicate - F ly the aircraft
Acceleration
Rate of change of velocity with respect to time
Inertial Force
An object’s resistance in a state of rest or motion
Back, Left, Down
Gx+, Gy+, Gz+
Speed
An object’s magnitude of motion and rate of change
Velocity
An object’s speed in a given direction
Autorotate
Adjusting the flight controls as necessary to establish an auto rotational descent and landing
Will
Used only to indicate futurity, never to express or indicate a mandatory requirement
May
Used to express permissiveness (an application of a procedure is optional)
Should
Used to express non-mandatory permissions (an application of procedure is recommended)
Shall and Must
Used to express a mandatory requirement
Note
An operating procedure, technique, etc., which is essential to emphasize
Caution
An operating procedure, technique, etc., which if not strictly observed, could result in damage to or description of equipment
Warning
An operating procedure, technique, etc., which if not strictly observed, could result in personal injury or loss of life
Basic Rules
- Operate the aircraft
- Analyze the situation
- Take proper action
VNE for OEI Operation
110 kts or as shown in VNE-tables.
Whichever is less
VNE for steady Autorotation
90 kts or as shown in VNE-tables
Whichever is first
