-
How do you de-couple the glideslope if coupled to the ILS?
You press and hold the 'CPL' LSK until glideslope disabled. To re-engage simply press 'CPL' again.
-
How do you identify which emergency was last?
Push and hold the 'ACK' LSK.
-
What does pushing and holding the 'AP UM OFF' do on the ground and airborne?
- Ground: Centres all controls
- Airborne: De-selects any pre-selected standby upper modes (In cyan)
-
How do you simulate an engine fire in flight?
- Check which engine was used last via 'ACK' LSK.
- Select opposite FIRE TEST sw and hold.
- After pilot simulates pressing EMERG sw, after 5 sec press OEI TRNG mode on that engine to simulate engine fire.
- Keep pressing until fire out.
-
How do you simulate a UA in IMC and what is the recovery technique?
- Simulate:
- Push against cyclic slowly to simulate an actuator run-away.
- Recovery: (AHTA)
- Recognise and announce
- Push 'AP/BKUP CUT' sw once, then again to remove AP's
- Press 'AP/BKUP ON' sw FWD to recover all AP's the twice more to regain all upper modes.
- Re-select 'CPL' on NAVD page to FMS (Or other)
-
How can you initiate a AHRS discrepancy?
By pushing and holding the 'HDG' adjustment knobs on the MCP.
-
Which engine does the OEI TRNG mode use first?
Engine 1
-
How do you reciprocate everything on MFD 2 to the co-pilots side, MFD 1?
Selecting FND on the MCP.
-
If you are coupled up on the NAVD and you need to see the VMS display, what can you do?
- Either couple up from the MFD 2 and change MFD 4 to VMS, or
- Select VMS on the MCP to bring up on MFD 1.
Note: If FMS coupled it should remain engaged even if you change MFD 4 to VMS if FMS is selected on the FND page for MFD 2.
-
What is the catch when looking at the fuel amount remaining and fuel endurance for FND and VMS pages?
It depicts total fuel remaining and does not account for any fuel reserve requirements.
-
When does ENG 1/2 indicate?
- If there's a difference of more than 6% N1 from other engine, or
- if TQ decreases below 53%.
-
How can you simulate 'AP CONTROL' on ML?
Use opposite pedal to collective heading beep trim.
-
What are the auto level off heights for PA and NPA?
-
What do you select if you are in full autorotation?
- 'SHED BUS' ON to make electrical components continue working, and
- Select DH to 150ft AGL for FLARE commencement height
-
When does OEI TRNG mode abort?
- When greater than 12% decrease below nominal Nr, or
- If Nr falls below 91%
-
What should you do prior to pressing the OEI TRNG mode sw and why?
- Identify the FLI red line limit.
- So that you make sure the collective is not pulled past that limit in the event of a mis-handled sequence so that you don't have an over-torque in the event of too high a power setting after an 'OEI ABORT'.
-
What is the first indication if you have an 'OEI ABORT' and what must you do?
- You first see it on the ML.
- You have 2 sec (unsure) from that point to decrease collective below AEO red line or over-torque.
The system should limit TQ to 2 x 95%, which shouldn't over-torque, but as a backup, lower collective prior to the abort if possible.
-
When should you consider aborting/recovering a mishandled OEI?
- When Nr decreasing below 95%, or
- When ROD greater than 400fpm in VTOL recovery.
- Ensure you have collective below AEO red line when removing 'OEI TRNG' mode
-
After landing from a level 2 'FADEC FAIL' malfunction, do you reset the 'FADEC EMERG' sw?
- No, the emergency may not be resolved resulting in a sudden increase in Nr due to high power setting on the bad engine.
- Just shut the aircraft down without touching the switch.
-
If you have a level 3 FADEC FAIL malfunction, what do you do before shutting the engine down?
Lower power to not below the de-synchronisation line (white line) on the FLI to ensure no Nr droop or Vne exceedance when OEI adopted.
-
When simulating a tail rotor control failure (Fixed pitch) or total failure, how far should you position the balance ball on initiation?
No more than full 'side-slip' ball in any direction.
-
Which way do you want the wind for both fixed pitch YCE, and total loss YCE?
- Fixed pitch you want the wind from the left
- Full loss you want the wind from the right
-
How do you maintain Nr when entering AUTO?
- Follow Nr down with collective and when it starts to increase set approx. 1.6FLI for 100% Nr.; or
- Collective full-down, when Nr reverses collective up to maintain approx. 100%, then set approx. 1.6FLI for 100% Nr.
-
Describe the autorotation profile?
- Enter auto - if above 70kts set 5deg NU for slow decel, or
- Set 0deg NU if/when at 70kts to maintain
- Approx. 1.6FLI for 100% Nr (1 beep = 1% Nr change)
- Set 150ft on DH for flare commencement
- Turn on 'SHED BUS' to maintain power to critical items
- @ 150ft commence smooth flare to 20deg NU (Any higher and too hard to recover nose down attitude)
- When aircraft passing below 50ft set landing attitude
- Cushion with collective
- Note: For power termination, terminate above 20ft AGL
-
Why do you prefer a long runway for fixed pitch YCE's?
- You want to bring YAW SEMA's into play.
- YAW SEMA's have high authority but very slow acting so using long runway lets you decel slow enough to allow SEMA's to have positive effect on heading control which allows you to slow down even further.
-
In a real YCE, can you use upper modes, and if so what should you consider?
- Yes
- You should consider turning off A.TRIM's so that the SEMA's won't mess with your heading during analysis but only in real emergency, you can't for practice.
- Consider putting into 'FPA/TRK' as this will work better than HDG mode.
-
If you run on after a YCE, what do you do with the collective?
- Use it to keep heading control whilst the aircraft slows.
- If you dump the collective the aircraft will yaw dangerously possibly resulting in further complications.
