ADV Misc Gouge Flashcards
Explain Cat 1, 2, 3 and 4 flight and how each can be determined
Cat 1
- HIGE using TOP only
Cat 2
- HIGE using MCP
Cat 3
- HOGE using TOP
Cat 4
- HOGE using MCP
Cat 4/2 on the PPDS, Cat 3 requires additional info from flight manual
Explain the difference between committed and flyaway calls
Committed
- The aircraft has lost the potential to go around if OEI (Cannot climb/achieve required RoC to eat above obstacles)
Flyaway
- The aircraft has the performance to continue climbing should an engine failure occur
Breaking down PSWATs, what points do you cover?
Power
Size
Shape
Surface
Slope
Surrounds
Sun
Wind
Wires
Approach
Terrain
Takeoff
On approach into a pad what is included in the PWP?
Power
Wind
- Direction relative to the aircraft
- Compare ground speed against IAS to get strength
Plan
- Approach direction
- Type of approach
- Landing area
- Go around point/escape route (if applicable)
- Crew duties
What is includes in the departure PWP?
Power
- Cat 4
Wind
- Direction relative to the nose
Plan
- This will be a “standard, IGE, OGE departure to the 12 o’clock intending for a left/right turn once climb is established. Our last safe point of hover is _______, flyaway point will be the ________, any power loss prior to flyaway we will abort, after fly away we will continue the climb and come up with a plan.
What are the considerations for DVE?
Dust
Cut grass
Snow
Rain
Ash
Sun
What is included in HASEL Cx?
Height - Not below and anticipated entry
Area/Auth - Valid
Security - Set don’t right
Engine - No warning/cautions Ts + Ps
Lookout/Listenout - Ongoing/Ops normal times
Explain the slope limits for the aircraft
Roll: 14
Nose up: 12
Nose down: 8
When is the AP required to be off when landing, how do you tell the landing site is past this limit?
When the slope is expected to be more than 3º, ask the loadie
Explain the steps to complete for a slope landing?
AP off (as req) —>Skid heel first —> maintain HDG —> Skid toe follows —> into slope cyclic —> Lower other side —> Collective slowly lower —> “Cleared to lower the lever”
Explain the difference between nose up, nose down and left skid up slope when landing?
Nose up
- More likely to slip due small contact area
- Reduce nose clearance
Nose down
- Decreased tail rotor clearance
- Can slip forward easily
Left skid up
- More cyclic due natural left skid low hover
- Higher MM
Explain the steps to a slope lift off:
Before T/O Cx —> Preposition cyclic and pedals —> Raise collective —> Level the wings —> Lift off —> Flight controls/CoG feel normal
Explain low flying regarding SI(NA)
Which prominent pads have wires?
Lima 8, pad 1
Dust bowl
What is the difference between low, terrain, contour and NOE flight profiles?
Low flying
- Between 500-200ft constant airspeed/direction
Terrain flight
- Below 200ft AHO (above highest obstacle) w/ constant airspeed/direction
Contour flight
- Typically below 200ft, maintaining a constant airspeed and alternating height to maintain constant obstacle clearance
NOE
- Varying air speeds and altitude, typically always committed to the ground
