Normal Procedures Flashcards
PREFLIGHT: What must you do if a TEMP-PLATE is missing, or has block dots?
Refer to an engineer
PREFLIGHT: Is the engine oil sight gauge indicative of the actual oil quantity?
No
PREFLIGHT: Is it a good idea to turn the blades backwards before start because?
It ensures the N2 is not locked up and the blades are untied
PREFLIGHT: To drain the fuel sump, the battery switch is placed ON and:
Fuel Valve OFF, both boost pumps OFF, depress the drain button
STARTING: What is the Max TOT before starting?
150 C
STARTING: During daylight starts, how can you make warning lights visible?
Use the BRT/DIM switch
STARTING: At what compressor RPM do you open throttle?
< -18C: 12%
-18C - 7C: 13%
> 7C: 15%
STARTING: The start is to be aborted if the TOT exceeds the redline to _____ C for more than _____ seconds.
927C, 1 sec
STARTING: When should the rotors be spinning by?
25% N1
STARTING: When do you release starter?
58% N1
STARTING: You have been shut down for only 5 minutes, and you wish to start again. To what TOT must you motor the engine before opening the throttle?
150C
STARTING: When do you switch on the generator?
1 min after idling at 70%, if the engine has been shut down for more than 15 minutes
STARTING: What would you do if you get an engine surge whilst opening the throttle?
Close the throttle
STARTING: What does the bleed valve do to assist engine starting?
It opens during the start
STARTING: After starting, if the engine has been shut down for more than 15 minutes, how long should the engine be stabilized at idle before increasing power?
1 minute
STARTING: What is the correct flight idle range for the 206B?
61-63% N1
STARTING: At what point after starting should the generator switch be placed on?
After a 1 minute warm-up, the engine should be increased to 70% N1 before turning the generator on
IN FLIGHT: How many fuel pumps do you need above 6000 ft PA?
2
IN FLIGHT: How much fuel is used every 20 minutes?
10 US Gal (~40 L)
IN FLIGHT: What is the unusable fuel when one or both boost pumps stop working?
10 US Gal (~40L)
SHUTDOWN: How long is the engine stabilized for?
2 minutes
SHUTDOWN: Why should the rotor brake not be applied above the placarded limits?
To prevent rotor brake overheating and stressing of the gearboxes, and to prevent uncontrolled rotation on slippery surfaces
SHUTDOWN: Why should you wait for N1 to decelerate to 0% and TOT to stabilize during shutdown?
To ensure throttle cut-off and to prevent a hot shutdown
SPEEDS: Best ROC?
55 mph (47 kts)
