SFAM-1106

Question 1

DECU lockout

Answer 1

1. Correctly analyze the emergency situation
2. Maintain Np,Ng, MGT, and torwue within limits.
3. Place engine in lockout and set torque approximately 10% below governed engine torque
4. Execute an approach (normal or slide-on)

After Landing, retuen the engine in lockout to normal DECU governing as follows:

1. Reduce throttle to flight idle.
2. Cautiously roll the throttle up to full open to ensure normal governing is in effect.

Question 2

Hovering / Taxi Autorotations

Answer 2

1. From a hover 5’ into the wind with approximately 10-12 knots GS.
2. Freeze the collective, elimnate yaw and drift, cushion cushion cushion.
3. Right pedal and right cyclic. Level the skids.

Question 3

Full Autorotations

Answer 3

1. To initiate the maneuver, roll throttles to idle, simultaneously reducing collective to the full down position.
2. Maintain heading and/or trim with the pedals. Adjust collective as necessary to maintain rotor rpm within limits.

Basic autorotational descents should be performed at

Straight in: 750’ 90: 1000’ 180: 1300’ 360: 3000’

80-90 KIAS. Steady state Auto at 85KIAS is 4 degrees NU.

3. Flare should be at 150’AGL 15-30 degrees NU.
4. During the Flare smoothly roll both throttles toward full OPEN position.
5. Level the Skids and pull collective. Terminate at 10ft and 30-40 KGS.

Idle, Down, right, transition, turn, Attitude, Nr, Ball, 250 on course, 200 full down, 150 flare, full open/closed, 30-40KIAS level, 20-25’ cusion, recover by 10ft.

113KCAS best Glide

80KCAS Min rate Descent.

Question 4

High Speed Low Level Autorotations

Answer 4

High Speed Low Level

1. Establish balanced flight, 120KIAS and 200’ AGL on the final approach course prior to commencing the maneuver.
2. 120KIAS at a constant altitude no less than 100’AGl or 50’ above the highest approach obstacle.
3. Enter the Auto, reduce throttles to flight idle and apply coordinated aft cyclic with collective reduction to slow the helicopter and to maintain Nr within limits.
4. At 80-90 KIAS and 75’ AGL, complete a normal practice autorotational approach.

High Speed Auto

1. Setup for the maneuver by flying straight nd level at an altitude greater than 200’AGL and 85-100% MRGB Q with a suitable landing site available.

Question 5

Autorotation to a Spot

Answer 5

1. Entry altitude and position may be varied (at or a bove minimum entry altitudes).
2. Airspeed may be varied 80-110 KIAS (min rate of descent to max glide).
3. During th autorotation, changes in airspeed, varying the track over the ground (S-turns), and sideslip (ball) may be used to make the intended point of landing.

Question 6

Loss of Tail Rotor Thrust /Components in flight.
