Dash 1 Section 3 Flashcards
What are the three basic rules in any airborne emergency?
- Maintain aircraft control
- Analyze the situation and take proper action
- Land as soon as conditions permit.
What is a critical action?
An action which must be performed immediately if the emergency is not to be aggravated and injury or damage are to be avoided.
What is a non critical action?
Actions which contribute to an orderly sequence of events, improve chances for the emergency action to be successful and serve as clean-up items.
What is the definition of land as soon as possible?
1) . An emergency shall be declared
2) . A landing shall be accomplished at the nearest suitable landing area, considering the severity of the emergency, weather conditions, field facilities, ambient lighting, and command guidance.
What is the definition of land as soon as practical?
Emergency conditions are less urgent, the mission is to be terminated but an immediate landing may not be necessary.
What is the definition of a suitable landing area?
A hard surface runway, taxiway, or under/overrun.
The engine start should be aborted for what five situations?
1) . High ITT (hot start)
2) . Normal N1 increase is halted (hung start)
3) . No ITT rise within 10 s of fuel flow indications (no start)
4) . BAT BUS annunciator comes on
5) . ST READY light goes out/PCL moved
How do you abort a start?
1) . If PCL is OFF, set STARTER SWITCH to AUTO/REST
2) . If PCL between OFF and IDLE, set PCL to OFF or set STARTER SWITCH to AUTO/RESET
3) . If PCL above IDLE, set PCL to OFF
True/False. If a start was aborted while connected to external power, you may attempt subsequent restarts so long as no engine limits were exceeded.
False. There is an aircraft malfunction if it’s unable to start with external power.
When do you perform an emergency engine shutdown on the ground?
Prop strike, CHIP light, FIRE light, depart prepared surface and any other situation the pilot deems necessary.
What factors affect a pilot’s decision to takeoff or abort?
1) . Runway length and condition, weather, and area traffic
2) . If adequate directional confirm cannot be maintained or a system emergency is encountered prior to Max Abort speed
What systems run off hydraulic pressure?
NWS, main gear, main gear doors, speed brake and flaps
What indications will you have that the hydraulic pressure transmitter has failed?
Hydraulic pressure will read 0 psi but all hydraulic systems will operate normally
Loss of hydraulic pressure without illumination of EHYD PX LO or HYDR FL LO may indicate what?
An engine-driven hydraulic pump failure.
Low hydraulic pressure is considered what and will necessitate what?
1800 psi and will necessitate using emergency gear extension.
When should you consider divert with certain rudder malfunctions?
If unable to achieve full left or right rudder, crosswinds exceed 15 knots and fuel is a concern.
True/False. With a rudder trim push rod failure the cockpit trim position indications will respond and the rudder pedal forces will adjust accordingly.
False. The cockpit trim indications will respond to trim inputs but will have no effect on rudder pedal forces or actual trim tab position.
What may a fully deflected rudder trim gauge be indicative of?
Runaway rudder trim or an out of trim rudder condition.
What is a concern when testing rudder deflection during a rudder system malfunction?
Switching rudders too quickly which can result in an OCF if not neutralizing the rudder in between.
Keep airspeed between what range during a rudder system malfunction check?
125-140 KIAS
Climb how high before attempting rudder system malfunction checklist (if able)?
6,000’ AGL
If the aircraft slip indicator is fully deflected remain below what airspeed?
140 KIAS
True/False. If must divert and fuel is a consideration for the range, it is permissible to raise the gear and repressurize the aircraft in order to reach a suitable alternate.
True.
What check should be done after reaching a suitable alternate following a rudder system malfunction?
Controllability check.
