Emergencies

Question 0

Define:

Land as soon as possible

Answer 0

Land without delay at nearest suitable area at which a safe approach can be reasonably assured

Question 1

When does engine out light come on

Answer 1

55 % N1 +- 3

Question 2

Define:

Land as soon as practical

Answer 2

Landing site rand duration o flight are at discretion of pilot

Question 3

What is the fault and remedy related to a “trans temp” warning light.

Answer 3

Main transmission is at or above red line 110*C. Reducing power will help alleviate the condition. Check transmission oil pressure. Land as soon as possible.

Question 4

What is the fault and remedy related to a “trans press” warning light

Answer 4

Main transmission pressure is below minimum. Landing should be made as soon as possible.

Question 5

What is the unusable fuel with both fuel boost pumps inop?

Answer 5

10USG

Question 6

What is the fault and remedy related to a “fuel pump” warning light

Answer 6

One or both fuel pumps is inoperative. Descend to below 6000 feet pressure altitude I flight permits. Land as soon as practical

Question 7

What is the fault an remedy indicated by a “fuel filter” light

Answer 7

Engine fuel filter clogged, land as soon as practical. Clean before next flight

Question 8

What is the fault and remedy related to a “A/F fuel filter” warning light

Answer 8

Airframe fuel filter clogged. Land as soon as practical. Clean before next flight.

Question 9

What is the fault and remedy related to a “fuel low” warning light.

Answer 9

Approximately 20 gallons of fuel remaining. Land as soon as practical

Question 10

What is indicated by a “eng out” warning light and remedy

Answer 10

Engine power failure. Reduce pitch immediately and investigate power failure.

Question 11

What is the fault and remedy related to “eng chip” warning light

Answer 11

Metallic particles in engine oil. Land as soon as possible

Question 12

What is the fault and remedy related to a “t/R chip” warning light

Answer 12

Metal particles in tail rotor gear box oil. Land as soon as possible.

Question 13

What is the fault and remedy related to “trans chip”

Answer 13

Metal particles in transmission oil. Land as soon as possible

Question 14

What is the fault and remedy related to a “rotor low rpm” warning light

Answer 14

Rotor RPM is below normal. Reduce collective pitch and check that throttle is full open

Question 15

What is the rotor RPM range required to maintain rotor ROM during an engine failure

Answer 15

90%-107%

Question 16

What is the desired airspeed range for autorotation

Answer 16

58-69MPH

Question 17

What is the max airspeed for steady autorotation

Answer 17

115 mph

Question 18

What could result during autorotations performed above 115MPH

Answer 18

Could result in high rates of descent and low rotor speed.

Question 19

What are the steps to respond to a complete loss of tail rotor thrust

Answer 19

Roll throttle flight idle enter auto rotation and maintian minimum airspeed to 58MPH during descent

Question 20

What to do in the event of a fuel control or governor failure

Answer 20

Control power with throttle if engine over speeds
Maintain RPM with collective pitch If engine under speeds
Establish autorotative glide if power is very low or if engine must be shut down

Question 21

Steps to take as a result of hydraulic system failure

Answer 21

Reduce airspeed to 70-80MPH IAS
Check hydraulic switch is on
Hyd boost circuit breaker-out if power not restored “in”
Land as soon as practical and investigate
Run-on landing 12-17MPH recommended

Question 22

Electrical power failure

Answer 22

Cycle generator switch-if power not restored “off”

All electrical equipment “off”, on as needed

Reduce altitude below 6000feet(fuel boost pumps)

Question 23

Helicopter fuel system failure-both boost pumps

Answer 23

Descend below 6000 feet land as soon as practical. Unusable fuel 10 gallons

Question 24

Engine fire during flight

Answer 24

Throttle-closed Immediately enter autorotation Fuel valve-OFF battery switch-off generator switch-off Execute autorotational descent and landing Do not restart until maintenance has been performed

Question 25

Engine air start

Answer 25

-when believed to be a mechanical problem do not attempt restart Maintain autorotation glide Rotor rpm 90-107 Airspeed 58-69MPH Generator-off Normal start Do not attempt above 12,000feet as TOT rises to fast to control

Question 26

Engine fire during starting or shutdown

Answer 26

``` Starter-continue to motor the engine Throttle-full closed Fuel valve switch-OFF IGN ENG circuit breaker-out Complete shutdown ```
