A

20 min;

fuel consumption at planned flight altitude

38
Q

Cancellation of instrument flight plan ___ meet the requirement for closing flight plan

A

does not

39
Q

A

30 min before official sunset until 30 min after official sunrise or at any time visibility from cockpit is less than 3000/3

40
Q

3 times to turn on position lights

A
  1. immediately before engine start
  2. a/c being towed
  3. a/c is parked and likely to cause a hazard unless a/c otherwise illuminated
41
Q

Anti-Collision Lights

A

immediately before engine start and all times when a/c engines operating except when lights adversely affect ground ops; can be turned off in clouds

42
Q

Landing/Taxi Lights

A

should be utilized for all taxi movements ashore during hours of darkness; recommended during approaches (day/night) within class B, C, D

43
Q

outside controlled airspace, helos can operate below ___ ft AGL, __ of clouds, when vis is __ if __

A

Q

A
  1. Select hover mode on FD
  2. Smoothly increase collective to takeoff power and maintain a hover attitude by referencing AI. Allow AFCS to maintain heading (feet off trim once airborne)
  3. Smoothly increase collective to climb out power. As helo passes through 20 ft on radalt, position cyclic forward to establish a 5 deg nose down attitude and accelerate into forward climbing flight
  4. As helo accelerates, cross-check radalt and VSI for positive rates of climb. Rate of climb should be 500 rpm or greater
  5. Maintain a smooth acceleration up to 90 KIAS, referencing the AI and airspeed indicator
55
Q

Instrument Climbs and Descents

PAC verbalizes intentions to leave one altitude for another
PNAC monitors flight instruments and provide 100 ft (or as briefed) prior call
Upon reaching intended altitude, PNAC shall verbally note RAD/BARALT latched

56
Q

Change of Scans

A

PAC flies approach and makes landing
PAC maintains instrument scan until landing phase commences
PNAC backs up PAC on instruments and scans outside for landing environment
Once PNAC has landing environment in sight and can safely continue approach, PNAC will provide PAC with a brief description of the visual approach then assume scan responsibilities
PNAC maintains inst scan until landing assured
If missed, PAC ensures obstacle clearance then gets on inst

57
Q

Change of Controls

A

PAC flies inst approach and switches controls to the PNAC for landing
Once PNAC has landing environment in sight and can safely continue approach visually, PNAC shall inform PAC, take controls, and land
Initial PAC continues inst scan until landing assured
If missed, initial PAC reassures control of aircraft and initial PNAC provides backup inst scan and obstacle clearance

58
Q

ENG ANTI ICE switches shall be turned on when

A

OAT is 5 deg C or below in visible moisture

59
Q

Ice damage to the engine may be characterized by

A

A high pitched noise with no associated power loss or secondary indication

60
Q

When you turn on the engine and engine inlet anti ice systems, what 2 things can you expect?

A

Significant power loss and increased fuel consumption

61
Q

A

14% per engine

65
Q
