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
