Verbatims Flashcards
CNAF Deviation
Deviation from specified flight and operating instructions is authorized when, in the judgment of the PIC, safety justifies such a deviation.
NATOPS Deviation
NATOPS products provide the best available T/M/S aircraft information and operating instructions for most circumstances. However, no manual can cover every situation or be a substitute for sound judgement; operational situations may require modification of the procedures contained therein.
Wing SOP Deviation
This instruction is not intended to inhibit sound judgment nor does it supersede existing directives from higher authority. The HAC retains full responsibility for the safe conduct of the mission.
Squadron SOP Deviation
Deviations from these policies are authorized when in the judgment of the HAC or OIC, mission priority and benefits clearly outweigh the risks. In all circumstances, the HAC retains the responsibility for the safety of the crew as well as mission completion.
Operational Necessity
A mission associated with war or peacetime operations in which the consequences of an action justify accepting the risk of loss of aircraft and crew.
Warning
Explanatory information about an operating procedure, practice, or condition, etc., that may result in injury, death or loss of aircraft if not carefully observed or followed.
Caution
…may result in damage to equipment…
Note
…that must be emphasized.
Shall
Is only used when application of a procedure is mandatory.
Should
…is recommended.
May/Need not
…is optional.
Land immediately
Execute a landing without delay.
Land as soon as possible
Land at the first site at which a safe landing can be made.
Land as soon as practical
Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of the flight are at the discretion of the PIC.
Primary fuel
A fuel that the aircraft is authorized to use for continuous unrestricted operations. (J5, J8, A++(F-24), TS-1)
Restricted fuel
A fuel that imposes operational restrictions on the aircraft.
(A1, A, JP-4, B)
JP-4/JET B restrictions:
- Single engine training prohibited
- Operational characteristics change (decrease op temp, slower acceleration, shorter range)
- Due to vapor qualities of mixed JP-4/JET B next 2 refuelings treated as JP-4/JET B
Emergency fuel
A fuel that may be used for a minimum time when no other primary or restricted fuel is available in case of emergency or operational necessity.
(J8+100,F-27)

In-depth
Engine Control System Definition
Includes all the components necessary for proper and complete control of the engine to maintain a constant Np/Nr
Engine Oil System Definition
Self-contained, pressurized, recirculating, dry sump system
Engine/Inlet anti-ice system Definition
Prevents ice buildup on the components of the engine inlet section
Rotor system Definition
Fully articulated main rotor
Bearingless, crossbeam tail rotor blade system
Provides antitorque and directional control
AVCS Definition
Attenuates the magnitude and reduces the duration of the peak vibratory loads produced by the main rotor
APU System Definition
Gas turbine engine that provides pneumatic power for starting the engines and operating the ECS
Transmission System Definition
Takes the combined power from the two engines, reduces the rpm, and transfers it to the main and tail rotors. Secondarily provides a drive for electrical and hydraulic power generation. Incorporates an integral wet sump lubrication system that provides cooled, filtered oil to all main transmission bearings and gears.
Fuel System Definition
Crashworthy, suction-type system with self-sealing tanks and breakaway valves. Capable of pressure refueling, gravity refueling, and HIFR. Provisions for priming engines, dumping fuel, indicating fuel quantity, and warning of low fuel levels.
- Upper 2/3 7.62 mm
- Lower 1/3 14.2 mm
Electrical System Definition
AC primary source of electrical power and can be supplied by main generators, APU generator, or external power
Hydraulic System Definition
Three hydraulic pumps provide hydraulic pressure to various components of the flight control system, the APU system and the rescue host system.
Flight Control System Definition
Helicopter is controlled by varying and intermixing the control outputs from the cyclic, collective, and tail rotor pedals
AFCS System Definition
Electrohydromechanical system that provides inputs to the flight control system to assist the pilot in maneuvering and handling the helicopter
Fire Detection System Definition
5 sensors (2 each engine, 1 APU)
Infrared and no blue light (sunlight)
False triggers: sunlight filtered through smoke and haze, sunrise/sunset
Hydraulic Pump Components
Px relief valve Bleed valve Px filter (no bypass) Return filter (bypass) Low level sensing switch
Transfer Module Components
Transfer/shuttle valve
Px switch
Primary and T/R shutoff valves
Backup pump characteristics
- Internal depressurizing valve-to aid in starting the AC motor
- 4 second on APU/external power, 0.5 seconds on main generator
- With weight off wheels, works automatically in OFF or AUTO
- Auto initiation for #1 HYD PUMP, #2 HYD PUMP, #1 RSVR LOW, #1 TAIL RTR SERVO cautions
HYD Leak test requirements
AC power Backup pump in AUTO All reservoirs full WoW Rotors engaged
Utility module characteristics
- Priority valve to rescue hoist secures for low backup pump px
- velocity fuse secures flow to APU accumulator for excess flow rate i.e. a leak
- Px switch for backup pump ON
AFCS Components
- SAS
- Stab
- AFCS
AFCC Function
Commands SAS (inner loop) and trim (outer loop) in all 4 control channels
Stab Function/Inputs
Primary purpose is to eliminate nose up in hover or low speed. Secondary is level attitude during cruise and high speed.
Inputs: CLAP
- Collective position
- Lateral acceleration
- Airspeed
- Pitch rate
2 actuators, each w/ separate amplifier, each provide 1/2 the input; difference in positions causes STAB caution
CILA Functions
SAS 2 only
Required for:
- Hover augmentation/gust alleviation
- Turn coordination
- Roll hold
- Alt hold
- Coupler functions
