Emergency Procedures Flashcards
(94 cards)
Land immediately
Execute a landing without delay.
Land as soon as possible
Execute a landing at the first site at which a safe landing can be made.
Land as soon as practicable
Extended flight is not recommended. The landing site and duration of the flight are at the discretion of the PIC.
Circuit breaker handling terms:
Check
Visually observe circuit breaker condition. Do not change condition.
Circuit breaker handling terms:
Pull
If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out.
If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Circuit breaker handling terms:
Reset
If circuit breaker is out, push circuit breaker in.
If circuit breaker is in, do not change condition.
Circuit breaker handling terms:
Cycle
If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out, then push circuit breaker back in.
If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Circuit breaker CAUTION
Popped circuit breakers may be reset only once. Holding in a circuit breaker while resetting may cause electrical fire or damage to electrical equipment.
(For EPs) The PAC shall…
…complete the critical memory items that do not require releasing the flight controls.
(For EPs) the PNAC shall…
- Assist in ensuring the continued safe flight of the aircraft.
- Perform the critical memory items that do not involve the flight controls.
- Use the pocket checklist to complete non-critical memory items.
- Troubleshoot as required.
(For EPs) the aircrewman shall…
- Provide the pilots with verbal calls as necessary to ensure the continued safe flight of the aircraft.
- Complete the applicable critical memory items.
- Utilize the pocket checklist to complete the remaining non-critical memory items.
- Back up the pilots with the pocket checklist to the maximum extent possible.
- Assist the PNAC with troubleshooting.
EPs NOTE
The urgency of certain emergencies requires…
The urgency of certain emergencies requires immediate and instinctive action by the PAC. The most important single consideration is helicopter control. All procedures are subordinate to this requirement.
The following should be performed for all emergencies:
- Maintain control of the aircraft
- Alert the crew
- Determine the precise nature of the problem
- Complete the applicable emergency procedure or take action appropriate for the problem.
- Determine landing criteria and land as required
Due to the possibility of rapid degradation or loss of A/C control during certain emergencies, the PIC (should/shall) ensure that all aircrew are ________________ at all times during ______ or ______ operations, except when the release of the _______ is required to perform ______ Or ______ related functions.
Should; strapped into their seats with shoulder harnesses locked; ground; flight; seatbelt; mission-; flight-
Indications of an engine failure
Changes in engine TQ, Ng, TGT, Np, and the ENG OUT warning light
Single-engine condition
A flight regime that permits sustained flight with One Engine Inoperative (OEI)
Establishing Single-engine conditions may include:
- Increasing power available (C-Pwr ON and Engine Anti-ice off)
- Decreasing power required (dumping fuel and jettisoning cargo)
- Achieving single-engine airspeed
- Controlling Nr
WARNING
A decrease in ___ will reduce the efficiency of the ____ ____, potentially resulting in an uncommanded _____ ____
Nr;
tail rotor;
right yaw
Any suspected Engine malfunction that manifests itself with fluctuations of ___, ___, and/or ___ (should/shall) be handled initially with the _____ _________ ___ ______ emergency procedure.
Np, Ng, and/or TQ;
Should;
Engine Malfunction in Flight (EMIF)
ENGINE MALFUNCTION IN FLIGHT
- Control Nr
- C-pwr switch - ON
- Single-engine conditions- Establish
- ENG ANTI-ICE switches - As req’d
- External cargo/store/fuel - Jettison/dump, as req’d
- Identify Malfunction
ENGINE MALFUNCTION I. FLIGHT
WARNING (x2)
- Flying with greater than 110% TQ with OEI may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual-engine failure.
- With the engine anti-ice on, up to 18% torque available is lost. TQ May be reduced by as much as 49% with improperly operating engine inlet anti-ice valves.
ENGINE HIGH-SIDE FAILURE IN FLIGHT indications
All of the following conditions exist:
- TQ is 10% or greater than other engine
- Ng is 5% or greater than other engine
- Np is matched within 5% of other engine
- Nr is at or above 103%
ENGINE HIGH-SIDE FAILURE IN FLIGHT

- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
a. TQ 10% below good engine, or
b. Matched Ng, or
c. Matched TGT- Land as soon as practicable
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
ENGINE HIGH-SIDE FAILURE IN FLIGHT
CAUTION
If an 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 accelerated back to 120%, the overspeed system will flame out the engine again and the auto-ignition system will reset the igniter 5-sec timer. The Np overspeed/auto-ignition system will continue cycling until Np/Nr is controlled. A yaw kick may be experienced each time the engine relights.
