25
Semi rigid Rotor means
Blades flap as a unit on a teeter
26
Fully articulated
Each blade can flap on their own,
27
Rigid System
Flap by bending
28
Advancing blade flaps which direction
Upward due to the relative wind, to decrease AoA
29
What can you do with 3rd class medical
Operate as Private pilot, Flight Instructor
30
Cord Line
A straight line connecting the leading and trailing edges of the airfoil. Separates upper and lower camber
31
Angle of attack is defined as
Angle between the wing chord line and the relative wind - wind relative to the air foil.
32
Robinson blades
12 years / 2200 hours
33

36
Memory aid for LOW RPM Recovery
Roll on throttle , Lower collective
37
What would cause excessive coning of blades
Excessive weight and low rpms
38
Critical angle of dynamic rollover
5-8 degrees
39
LTE Causes
Due to wind or fast right pedal turns, Low rpm, high gross weight & density altitude. Helicopter yaws uncontrollably to the right. Fixed by forward flight or hover auto
40
Stuck left pedal
Normal to steep approach | Don’t autorotate
41
Stuck right pedal
shallow slide on landing, control heading with throttle - no go around
42
Rules about flying over water
Not required to carry life jackets - Stay close to shore to make an auto
43
If you have to ditch in the water
if engine is running, let passengers jump out, fly away from them to hover auto into the water, lateral cyclic to stop the blades Engine out - Give passengers benefit by going lateral cyclic on your side to allow them to get out and away from rotor
44
5 Cs for lost
``` Climb Communicate Confess Comply Conserve ```
45
Pitot Tube blocked
Airspeed indicator would not work
46
Can you continue flight with Airspeed indicator not working?
No since it is required for VFR flights
47
Static Port bocked
Lose altimeter and VSI and will effect airspeed indicator
48
Where would you read to look up accidents in the Far Aim
49 CFR PART 830 NTSB- in middle of Far Aim
49
Definition of Accident
Anytime there is substantial damager to the aircraft or anyone suffers serious bodily injury or death
50
Anything not an accident is an incident
51
Passenger Briefing
Explain Seat belts, Doors, How to exit safely,
52
Part of the eyes used to fly at night
Off center viewing - Uses Rods of eyes Cones used for daytime observing Auto Kinesis - light appears to move if stared at Night Myopia - Near sighted at night
53
ETL Occurs
16 to 24 knots
54
Currency requirements for a night flying
Three takeoff and landings to a full stop at night in the previous 90 days. Must be one hour after sunset to one hour before sunrise
55
Definition of night
End of evening civil twilight and the beginning of morning civil twilight
56
When must aircraft position lights be on
Sunset to sunrise
57
When can you log a nighttime flight
Between Evening civil twilight and beginning of morning civil twilight
58
When is a flight review do
