Question 6

What should you do if you lose headset audio?

Answer 6

Land as soon as practical

Question 7

What should you do if an engine fire starts on the ground? (7 steps)

Answer 7

1) Continue cranking (If engine starts, excess fuel and air could be sucked into the engine)
2) If engine starts, run at 50-60% RPM for a short time
3) Fuel mixture - OFF
4) Fuel valve - OFF
5) Battery switch - OFF
6) If time permits, apply rotor brake to stop rotors
7) Exit helicopter

Start, fuel, spark, brake, exit

Question 8

What should you do if an engine fire starts on a flight? (7 steps)

Answer 8

1) Enter autorotation.
2) Cabin heat - OFF
3) Cabin vent - ON
4) If engine is running- perform normal landing, then mixture OFF and fuel valve OFF
If engine stops running, fuel valve OFF and continue
autorotation landing.
5) Battery switch - OFF
6) If time permits, apply rotor brake to stop rotors
7) Exit helicopter

Auto, cabin, fuel, battery, rotor, exit

Question 9

What should you do if you have an electrical fire in flight? (6 steps)

Answer 9

1) Battery and alternator switches - OFF
2) Open cabin vents
3) Land immediately
4) Fuel mixture OFF and fuel valve OFF
5) If time permits, apply rotor
6) Exit helicopter

Question 10

You have an electrical fire, you turn off the battery and alternator, what important systems have you lost?

Answer 10

• Low RPM warning system
• Governor

Question 11

The rotor tach has failed, what do you do?

Answer 11

Use the engine tach to monitor RPM. Land as soon as practical.

Question 12

The engine tach has failed, what do you do?

Answer 12

Use the rotor tach to monitor the system. Land as soon as practical.

Question 13

You have an electrical fire and you have to turn off the battery and alternator, would you lose the tachs?

Answer 13

No, a special circuit allows the battery to supply power to the tachs in this situation.

Question 14

What if both tachs fail, or both tachs are unreliable?

Answer 14

Allow the governor to control RPM. Land as soon as practical.

Question 15

The governor fails, what do you do? (3 steps)

Answer 15

1) Grip throttle firmly to override governor
2) Switch governor off
3) Complete flight using manual control

Question 16

What should you do if you are in cruise flight and the oil light comes on?

Answer 16

• Check oil pressure, if lost:
  
  • Land immediately, plan for autorotation
  • If pressure is ok, land as soon as practical
• Check for unusual sounds

Question 17

You are flying along and any one of the following come on; MR Temp, MR Chip, TR Chip, what should you do?

Answer 17

Land immediately

Question 18

You are flying along and the low fuel light comes on, what situation are you in and what would you do.

Answer 18

You have 1 gallon and 5 minutes of flight time left, land immediately.

Question 19

What if the clutch light will not go off during the takeoff checklist, what would you do?

Answer 19

Shutdown and investigate the issue, DO NOT takeoff

Question 20

What if you are flying along and the ALT light comes on, what would you do? (4 steps)

Answer 20

1) Cycle alternator switch OFF and ON
If the light still stays on
2) Turn off alternator
3) Turn off nonessential electrical equipment
4) Land as soon as practical

Note: If you lose total battery power, you will lose the tachs.

Question 21

What if the starter light stays on after startup?

Answer 21

1) Pull mixture off
2) Turn battery switch off

Question 22

You are flying and the LOW RPM light comes on, what should you do?

Answer 22

IMMEDIATELY LOWER COLLECTIVE AND ROLL ON THROTTLE

Question 23

What light is disabled when the collective is full down?

Answer 23

The LOW RPM light

Question 24

What should you do if the Carbon Monoxide light comes on and you are in a hover? (3 steps)

Answer 24

1) Open air vents
2) Turn off heater
3) Get some forward airspeed

If problem persists, land and investigate

Question 25

You are flying along and experience a right roll and low “G” condition. What should you do?

Answer 25

Gradually apply aft cyclic

Question 26

You are flying along and get into turbulence. You start to have uncommanded pitch, roll, and yaw. What should you do? (3 steps)

Answer 26
