MH-60S EPs Flashcards
(140 cards)
What are the MADCD responsibilities?
- Maintain control of the aircraft.
- Alert 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.
What are the landing criteria?
- 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 flight are at the discretion of the Pilot In Command (PIC).
What are the circuit breaker handling terms?
Check: Visually observe circuit breaker condition. Do not change condition.
Pull: If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out. If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Reset: If circuit breaker is out, push circuit breaker in. If circuit breaker is in, do not change condition.
Cycle: If circuit breaker is in, pull circuit breaker out, and then push circuit breaker back in. If circuit breaker is out, do not change condition.
Only reset popped CBs once, and do not hold in CB as it may cause electrical fire.
What are the indications of an engine malfunction in flight?
Fluctuations in Ng, Np, or TRQ.
CMI’s for EMIF
- Control Nr.
- CONTGCY PWR switch - ON.
- Single-engine conditions - Establish.
- ENG ANTI-ICE switches - As required.
- External cargo/stores/fuel - Jettison/dump, as required.
- Identify malfunction.
What are the NWCs for engine malfunction in flight?
1W: Flying with greater than 110 percent torque with one engine inoperative may result in unrecoverable decay of Nr in the event of a dual-engine failure.
2W: With engine anti-ice on, up to 18% torque available is lost. Torque may be reduced as much as 49% with improperly operating engine inlet anti-ice valves.
What are the indications of engine high-side failure in flight?
(#1/#2) ENG SPEED HI
Trq is 10% 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%.
What is the emergency procedure for engine high-side failure in flight?
*1 Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
*2 PCL (malfunctioning engine) - Retard to set:
a. Torque 10% below good engine, or
b. Matched Ng, or
c. Matched TGT.
What are the NWCs for engine high-side failure in flight?
1N: Ng does not pass through EDECU and is a highly reliable signal.
2N: TRQ signal may be erratic or drop-off for high-side conditions driven by EDECU failure.
3N: With high collective settings, Nr may increase slowly making high-side failure confirmation difficult.
What is the procedure for engine high-side failure on deck?
- PCL (malfunctioning engine) - IDLE.
What are the indications of engine low-side failure?
Torque of one engine is less than other
Nr decreases below normal selected speed
(#1/#2) ENG SPEED LOW CL [if:]
- TRQ is 10% below good engine
- Ng is 5% or less than good engine
- Np is at or below 98%
- Nr is at or below 97%.
What is the emergency procedure for engine low-side failure?
*1 Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
What causes engine TRQ/TGT spiking? ( 2 Answers )
Failures/Malfunctions in engine electronic circuitry
Water-contaminated fuel.
What triggers the TQR Split CL // what is the allowable transient split // if its matched in how much time after establishing steady state collective position?
TORQUE SPLIT CL
Difference between engine torques is > 10%.
~ 26%
~ Within 6 seconds
What to do if engine TRQ/TGT is spiking?CMIs
- Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure — Perform.
If fuel contamination is suspected: - Land as soon as possible.
What are the NWCs for engine TRQ/TGT spiking?
1W: PCL movement during engine fluctuations may precipitate an engine failure.
1N: Maintaining a low power setting when moving the PCL will minimize the Nr decay rate if the malfunctioning engine fails.
What causes compressor stall?
disturbance of the smooth airflow through the engine, compressor damage, loss of blade/vane material due to erosion, salt encrustation, ice ingestion.
What are the indications of compressor stall? ( THE actual indications in the EP)
- Popping, rumbling, or loud banging
- Rapid rise in TGT
- Ng hangup or rapid decrease
- Loss of power.
What is the procedure for compressor stall?
(1C) *1. Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
*2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) - IDLE.
How may A Eng High Speed Shaft Failure manifest itself?
If the High-speed shaft seal breaks what other problems may manifest?
If we figure it out what can my crew do to prevent it from actually failing ?
as a high-intensity, medium- to high-frequency vibration that may be felt throughout the aircraft. A howl may accompany the vibration.
XMSN problems because I`m loosing oil PX from it
Secure that respective Engine.
What is the procedure for engine high-speed shaft failure?
(1C) 1. Engine Malfunction in Flight emergency procedure - Perform.
2. PCL (malfunctioning engine) - OFF.
What causes load demand system malfunction?
Roll-pin failure
LDS Cable Malfunction.
What are the LDS malfunction indications on deck?
PCLs in IDLE: Ng of malfunctioning engine 3% to 4% higher than other engine.
During rotor engagement: Engine with the failed LDS will indicate a higher torque.
What are the LDS malfunction indications in flight?
Initial collective increase during takeoff: Torque split.
Stable hover: Matched torques (no indications of failure).
Collective increases (below approx 75%): Torque split.
