Emergency Procedures Flashcards
(39 cards)
Engine Malfunction in Flight
*1) Control Nr
*2) Contingency Power- On
*3) Single Engine Conditions- Establish
*4) Engine Anti-Ice- As required
*5) External cargo/stores/fuel- Jettison/dump as required
*6) Identify Malfunction
WARNING- Flying at airspeeds greater than 105 KIAS with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual Engine Failure
WARNING- With engine anti-ice on, up to 18% torque available may be lost. Torque may be reduced as much as 49% with improperly operating engine inlet anti-ice valves
Engine High-Side Failure in Flight
1) TQ 10% above good engine
2) Ng is 5% above good engine
3) Np is matched within 5% of good engine
4) Nr 103% or higher
- 1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
- 2) PCL (malfunctioning engine)- Retard to set:
a) TQ 10% below good engine or
b) Matched Ng
c) Matched TGT
CAUTION: If an Np overspeed condition is reached (120%), the overspeed system will flame out the engine and the auto-ignition system will relight the engine. If Nr is not controlled and Np accelerates back to 120%, the overspeed system will flame out the engine again and the auto-ignition system will reset the iginiter 5-second timer. The Np Overspeed/Auto-ignition system will continue cycling until Np/Nr is controlled. A yaw kick may be experience each time the engine relights.
NOTE: With high collective settings, Nr may increase slowly, making high-side failure confirmation difficult. Reducing collective will reveal increasing Nr and verify a high side failure.
Engine High-Side Failure on Deck
1) PCLs- IDLE
Engine Low-Side Failure
1) TQ is 10% below good engine
2) Ng is 5% below good engine
3) Np is 98% or below
4) Nr is 97% or below
*1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
CAUTION: When an engine is manually controlled using the POWER CONTROL LEVER, the engine response time is much faster and the TGT-limiting system is inoperative. Care must be taken to prevent exceeding TGT limits and keeping Nr and Np in their operating ranges; however, the Np overspeed system will still be operative
Engine Torque or TGT Spiking/Fluctuating
Engine TQs difference > 10%
*1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
If Fuel Contamination is suspected:
*2) Land As Soon As Possible
WARNING: PCL movement during engine fluctuations may precipitate an engine failure. Consider performing APU EMERGENCY START prior to manipulating the PCL. Maintaining a low power setting when moving the PCL will minimize the Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails
Compressor Stall
(Rapid Rise in TGT, Hangup or Decrease in Ng, Loss of Power, change in engine noise level from barely audible to muffled explosions)
- 1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
- 2) PCL (malfunctioning engine)- IDLE
WARNING: If the Ng decay relight feature attempts to relight the engine, subsequent compressor stalls may occur and damage the engine. A yaw kick may be experience each time the engine relights. The engine must be manually shut down.
Engine High-Speed Shaft Failure
DRVSHAFT FAIL #1/#2
(TQ < 10%, Np > Nr by 3%)
- 1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
- 2) PCL (malfunctioning engine)- OFF
WARNING: Following a high speed shaft failure, the engine overspeed system will flame out the engine, and the auto-ignition system will activate the relight feature. The engine Np governor will eventually bring Np down toward 100%. The engine must be manually shut down to prevent further damage.
Abort Start
1) Ng does not reach 14% in 6 seconds)
2) No Engine Oil Pressure within 30 seconds of starter initiation
3) No light off within 30 seconds of advancing PCL to IDLE
4) ENG START advisory drops out prior to 52% Ng
5) TGT reaches 851% before Idle is attained
*1) PCL- OFF
*2) ENGINE IGNITION switch- OFF
If engine oil pressure is indicated:
*3) Starter- Engage
4) Starter- Disengage after 30s and TGT
Engine Malfunction during Hover/Takeoff
- 1) Control Nr
- 2) C-Power- On
If suitable landing site exists or unable to transition to forward flight:
*3) Set level attitude, eliminate drift, cushion the landing
If able to transition to forward flight:
*4) Engine Malfunction in Flight EP perform
Dual Engine Failure
- 1) Autorotation- Establish
- 2) Immediate Landing/Ditching EP- Perform
If time/altitude permit
*3) Engine Air Restart EP- Perform
Warning- > 105 KIAS
Warning- RPM decay if delay in lowering collective = catastrophic failure because dynamic instability
Warning- Altitude Hold if trim not depressed
- Approx 5000’ to restart an engine
- Both engine inop, nose will swing left
- Flat terrain/water = some forward airspeed with rate of descent at a minimum
- Rough terrain = close to 0 forward airspeed
Single Engine Failure In Flight
(#1/#2 ENG OUT)
Ng < 55%
*1) Engine Malfunction In Flight EP- Perform
Engine Air Restart
- 1) #1 and #2 FUEL BOOST pushbuttons- ON
- 2) APU Emergency Start Procedure- Perform
- 3) ENGINE IGNITION Switch- ON
- 4) Fuel Selector Lever(s)- DIR or XFD
- 5) PCL(s)- OFF
- 6) Starter(s)- Engage, motor engine
- 7) PCL(s)- IDLE (TGT 80 or less, if time permits)
- 8) PCL(s)- Advance to FLY after starter dropout
WARNING- If APU is unavailable and a crossbleed start is necessary, maximum torque available will be reduced during the start sequence. Depending on operating conditions, level flight may not be possible. Ensure AIR SOURCE ECS/START switch is placed to ENG for crossbleed starts.
- Single or dual-engine start may be attempted
- Engine failure due to explosion or noise indicates damage. Attempting to restart may produce fire.
- Alternator Failure = Ng signal unavailable. Engine start will not be possible without AC Power to the ignition exciter.
Unusual Vibrations on Deck
- 1) Collective- Lower
- 2) PCLs- OFF
- 3) Rotor Brake- Apply as required
- Rotor Brake may aggravate lead/lag tendencies
APU Emergency Start
- 1) ECS- OFF
- 2) AIR SOURCE ECS/START SWITCH- APU
- 3) FUEL PUMP- APU BOOST
- 4) APU CONTR SWITCH- ON
- 5) APU GEN- ON
- Do not turn off BATT or APU CONTROL if start fails
- Fails for everything but OIL TEMP HIGH
Hung Droop Stops
*1) Reengage rotors to greater than 75% Nr
Note- While operating in cold weather, consideration should be given to turning the Blade De-ice Control Power Switch to POWER ON position. This will activate the droop-stop heaters and aid the droop stops in seating.
LOW ROTOR RPM
<96% Nr
*1) Control Nr
Main Transmission Malfunction
If failure is imminent:
*1) Land Immediately
If secondaries are preset:
*2) Land as soon as possible
WARNING- Possible indications of main transmission malfunction include yaw attitude excursions with no pedal control input, an increase in power required for a fixed collective setting, failure of a main generator or hydraulic pump, increased noise, increased vibrations levels, or abnormal fumes in the cabin.
WARNING- Operation of main gearbox with no oil pressure may result in failure of the tail rotor drive takeoff pinion gear and subsequent loss of tail rotor drive
NOTE- Considerations should be given to performing the applicable steps of the Immediate Landing/Ditching EP and transiting at a minimum power airspeed and low altitude flight profile (approximately 80’ and 80 knots) to permit a quick flare followed by an immediate landing/ditching
NOTE- A loss of all main transmission lubricating oil may result in unreliable temperature indications from the main transmission temperature gauge and temperature sensor (caution light).
Tail/Intermediate Transmission Malfunction
If failure is imminent:
*1) Land Immediately
If failure is not imminent
*2) Land as soon as possible
WARNING- High power settings require maximum performance of the tail rotor drive system and may precipitate ultimate drive failure
WARNING- Consideration should be given to transiting at an altitude sufficient to enter an autorotation and performing the applicable steps of the Immediate Landing/Ditching EP.
Input Chip Caution Light
*1) Main Transmission Malfunction EP- Perform
Loss of TR Drive Altitude and Airspeed Sufficient to enter Autorotation
- 1) PAC call- “Auto Auto Auto”
- 2) Autorotation establish. Center tail rotor pedals
- 3) Drive Failure- Verify
- 4) Immediately Landing/Ditching EP- Perform
- 5) PCLs- OFF when directed (prior to the flare)
WARNING- Altitude Hold will remain engaged unless deselected. If the collective trim release button is not depressed, the AFCS will attempt to maintain aircraft altitude through the collective trim servo. AFCS commanded collective movement can result in an accelerated yaw rate.
Loss of TR Drive Altitude and Airspeed Insufficient to enter Autorotation
- 1) PAC call- “Hover Hover Hover”
- 2) Collective- Lower
- 3) PNAC- Hands on PCL
- 4) PCLs- OFF when directed (approximately 20 to 30’)
CAUTION- Altitude may have to be adjusted based on rate of yaw and/or turn
Loss of TR control
*1) Collective/Airspeed- Adjust as required to control yaw
WARNING- Following the appearance of the #1 TAIL RTR SERVO without the associated BACKUP PUMP ON and #2 TAIL ROTOR SERVO ON advisories, the aircraft will demonstrate normal yaw responses in flight regimes that do not require excessive tail rotor performance; however, at speeds slower than 40 KIAS, more pronounced effects of loss of tail rotor control may become apparent.
warning- Servo hardovers in yaw channel may result in loss of TR control. Consideration should be given to securing the SAS/BOOST and/or TRIM.
WARNING- After touchdown, rapid reduction of collective or PCLs may cause excessive and uncontrollable yaw rates
WARNING- If the tail rotor control cables are damaged, the hydraulic transients associated with switching the tail rotor from NORM to BACK UP may cause catastrophic damage to the tail rotor cables.
note- A momentary uncommanded right yaw will occur when the tail rotor servo switches from normal to backup in a hover.
HYD SYSTEM WARNING
*1) Land Immediately
1 and #2 Hyd Pump Fail
- 1) Restrict Flight Control Movement
* 2) Land as soon as possible
