Q

Fly-to-points

A

can be dropped for navigation and ranked in priority regardless of creation time.

DIP or SAR FTPs will generate an “intercept umbrella.” SAR and MOT points will automatically be made #1 priority, which the CDI will align to

Precision FTPs do not disappear when flown over (all overs should)

19
Q

Reference points

A

examples include NAV, BASE, and SAR. Function as user-created “TACAN” stations for navigation and created like FTPs

20
Q

NAV Modes: TO -> TO

A

establishes a track between 2 waypoints on a flight plan. CDI bar is locked on that ground track between them

“TO this waypoint, then TO this waypoint”

21
Q

NAV Modes: TO -> FROM

A

establishes a leg (not necessarily on flight plan) to a waypoint on flight plan; creates leg/track based on a set bearing to said waypoint (typically from wind direction)

“TO this waypoint, FROM this bearing to it”

22
Q

NAV Modes: CONT -> TO

A

Homing to a waypoint or FTP

“CONTinusously points to waypoint/FTP”

23
Q

NAV MODES: DRCT -> TO

A

establishes direct ground track from current location to waypoint/FTP

“go DRCTly TO this waypoint from here”

24
Q

Lost ICS Procedures

A

Tab 6 of PCL

(non memory)

troubleshoot inside prior to going external

VMC vs IMC considerations

25
Q

Lost ICS during SAR Note

A

If a lost ICS situation occurs during a SAR evolution, the copilot shall be notified and advisory hand signals/CREW HVR used as discussed in the SAR Mission Specific Briefing

**in the event of a LOST ICS during SAR Ops, a TECHNIQUE used to convey information from the cabin is holding/moving the PAC shoulder. Be careful saying NATOPS allows this because it does not. This technique is ONLY authorized for VERTREP Ops (VERTREP is NOT SAR)

26
Q

How do you calculate fly-away torque in performance calcs?

A
  • Contingency (2.5 minute) power chart
  • then compute Specification Torque Available
  • then multiply STR by the computed Q to get Actual engine performance (actual Q)
  • add 30% to actual Q; then divide by 2 (this gives you your fly-away torque)
27
Q

Recovery after you have determined your fly-away torque

A

If HOGE Q&raquo_space; Fly-away Q, you won’t have enough power to gain forward airspeed to achieve safe single engine AS; be prepared to settle/ditch

if HOGE Q &laquo_space;Fly-away Q, (and conditions are acceptable), you should be able to “scoop out” or complete a fly-away maneuver

28
Q

Tabular Data

A

in the SAR TACAID, if you did the SAR worksheet from the review class you have a solid understanding of what data is available to you in the SAR TACAID

Start with step with step one and then continue

29
Q

Mission Change Checklist

A

Verbalize BUSTER, BINGO, BASE, BRIEF

BUSTER - pull max continuous power (dual engine = 106% Q), turn generally towards target and travel at best speed. In the sim, “booking it” was at 100-120 KIAS

BINGO - start at NLT 600#, then 10#/mile, 1000#/hr transit, about 1200-1400#/hour to hover to guesstimate how much fuel you’ll need to execute the mission
(example: if a contact is 5 miles away and the crew needs us to hover at least 30 mins to deploy/retrieve/recover a survivor: then that is 50# each leg + 200# for 2 hrs of searching + 650# to hover + 600 # minimum = 3300# to execute mission)…. set 3 jokers or bingos at checkpoints to watch for as you continue to update your Bingo

BASE: give base a call and get permission to conduct SAR

BRIEF: mission change checklist in PPCL

30
Q

Automatic Approach Checklist

A
  1. ensure automatic approach checklist is completed prior to commencing operations that require the use of the coupler system.

N: the automatic approach checklist shall be completed in its entirety when transition from SAR to sonar operations or vice versa. When transiting between dips between SAR pickups, applicable steps of the checklist IAW NATOPS shall be reviewed complete

  1. transition to the recommended altitude and airspeed (per PNAC) from the search pattern when the contact is sighted) ((150’AGL//60 KIAS for night/IMC SAR))
  2. Turn the aircraft into the windline. Prior to engaging the automatic approach, the PAC shall ensure the pedal micro-switches are not depressed and ensure there are no CPLR/ATT/HDG or EGI degradations
    3a. press the APPR/HVR button on the AFCS control panel
    3b. at night/IMC, the PAC shall be on the instruments from the point when the approach is engaged until the RADALT pushbutton is steady and the aircraft is in hover mode
  3. once established in a stable hover, with both RADALT and HVR pushbuttons illuminated, execute “Hover Checks” (HPGABS):
    - H = height/heading: ensure aircraft is holding altitude, aligned in the wind
    - P = power: note HOGE and fly-away torque
    - G = gauges green: note TGTs to monitor salt encrustation
    - A = attitude: note, primarily for sonar ops, but assists in seeing if not in the wind
    - B = BARALT: note altitude in case RADALT fails. SYNC as necessary
    - S = stable hover: adjust LONG VEL, LAT VEL, and HVR ALT as required
  4. hover checks should take about 15 seconds to complete. both pilots should monitor hover check parameters on each subsequent coupled hover and verbalize changes. PAC should ask PNAC to perform hover checks and both pilots should concur on the information
    5a. per NATOPS 9-5, you shall at a minimum a) SYNC BARALT/RADALT b) check TGT/torque and c) state OEI intentions (fly or settle) to complete hover checks
31
Q

SAR search patterns

A

Prior to selecting a search pattern, be sure to get through SAR brief (BUSTER, BINGO, BASE, BRIEF)

  • creeping line: when a search area is long and narrow and the probable location of the target could be on either side of that line, but immediate coverage of one end followed by rapid advancement of successive legs is desired
  • expanding square: concentrated search of small areas, where position of survivors is within close limits and area is not extensive
  • sector pattern: position of distress is accurately known and search area is small
32
Q

SAR Search pattern steps (from call to searching)

A
  1. complete automatic approach checklist and order “crew rig for rescue”
  2. ensure PNAC write down details of the situation and request approval from the designated authority
  3. place a FTP on the Datum, commence tracking towards it at best speed (buster) and establish bingo fuel
    3a. buster = fly at max continuous speed (106%Q or military power)
  4. conduct SAR brief when time permits
  5. PNAC determines the search pattern and altitude to be used, depending upon accuracy of the datum, time line, weather/sea state conditions and inputs the search
  6. establish a lookout prior to over flying the datum
33
Q

DAY/VMC SAR procedures (after you locate survivor/s)

A
  1. fly a normal approach as expeditiously as practical, to arrive on a 200-300 yard final, slight left of the survivor into the windline
  2. follow applicable NATOPS Day SAR Procedures (see other deck of flashcards for calls)
34
Q

Night/IMC SAR procedures (after you locate survivors/s)

A
  1. Windline Rescue Pattern
    1a. enables pilots to transition from 150/60 KIAS and any heading to a 70; hover into the wind, ideally 50 yards downwind of the survivor
    1b. follow NATOPS Night/IMC SAR Procedures (in BIG NATOPS not PPCL)
    1c. prior to the “on top: call, PAC verbalize wind direction and intended direction of turn to achieve good outbound course. PNAC backup in instruments
  2. automatic approach
    2a. with the A/C lined up 800 yards from survivor and HVR Mode display selected, PNAC engages approach. Goal is to terminate coupled hover with survivor at 2 o’clock position
  3. coupled hover
    3a. once in a zero-drift hover, the cyclic 4-way trim may be used to maneuver the aircraft. This allows use of cyclic trim release (by pushing it) to return to a steady hover.
    3b. another technique is to fight the trim against trimmed hover position, this allows pilot to return to steady hover by releasing pressure from cyclic

N: using the trim release button to re-establish a steady, coupled hover may cause rapid and uncomfortable aircraft attitude changes as the aircraft zeroizes ground speed. This may cause disorientation or vertigo, especially at night. The recommended technique is to reduce ground speed as much as possible with the cyclic 4-way trim prior to depressing cyclic trim release

35
Q

coupler hover note

A

N: using the trim release button to re-establish a steady, coupled hover may cause rapid and uncomfortable aircraft attitude changes as the aircraft zeroizes ground speed. This may cause disorientation or vertigo, especially at night. The recommended technique is to reduce ground speed as much as possible with the cyclic 4-way trim prior to depressing cyclic trim release

36
Q

hover coupler does what and works when?

A

-provides LAT/LONG groundspeed control via LAT/LONG velocity potentiometers

-engaged (auto) after auto approach or (manually) APPR/HVR + SAS 2 + TRIM + AUTO PLT
(kicks in when LONG GS is within 1 KGS of selected (auto) or within 5 KGS (manual))

-AFCC monitors dual-engine Q to prevent collective increase if Q>116%

37
Q

Auto Approach to a hover

A
  • initiate at any airspeed or altitude < 5000ft or AOB up to 20-deg via APPR/HVR button
  • when you select it and again when 80 KIAS, aircraft assumes wings level
  • 4-way trim switch controls +/- 1 kt/second in 2-sec inputs
  • approach profile resets at 40 KIAS
  • *> 40 KIAS = 2.5 kt/sec DECEL & 215 fpm descent
  • *< 40 KIAS = 1.5 kt/sec DECEL & 130 fpm descent
  • *BELOW profile = RADALT hold engaged & DECEL at 2.5kt/sec
  • *ABOVE profile = airspeed hold and descent at 360 fpm
38
Q

Crew Hover

A
  • allows aircrewman to control hover when coupled +/- 5 KGS LAT/LONG control authority
  • activated by CREW HVR pushbutton, but can only be activated if hover coupler mode is activated too
