Aft cyclic input is required - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What cyclic input is required when
lowering collective in response to a power failure at high speed and forward CG?
,Avoid aft cyclic to prevent a possible blade strike to tailcone. - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔What cyclic input must be avoided during a touchdown autorotation or ground slide, and
why?
1. Lower collective, right pedal, aft cyclic
2. Maintain RPM in green
3. Keep RPM 97-110/65 KIAS Air speed/ Select Landing Spot (If weight ıs too light to reach
97% RPM, apply full collective down, If altitude permits try to land with head wind)
4. Attempt to restart engine if possible. (If unable to restart turn unnecessary switches and
fuel valve off)

ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency procedure for a power failure above 500 feet AGL?
No earlier than 1000 feet AGL to preserve battery power. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔If a
power failure occurs at night, when should the landing light be turned on for landing?
1. Down collective, right pedal, aft cyclic
2. Keep RPM between 97-110% (ıf weight ıs too light to reach 97%, apply full down)
3. Maintaıin airspeed and select landing spot until you approach the ground
4. Aft cyclic to reduce rate of descend and forward speed as ground is approached
4. About 8 feet AGL, forward cyclic to level aircraft and raise collective to cushion just
before touch down - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency procedure for a
power failure between 8 feet and 500 feet AGL?
1. Apply right pedal as required to prevent yawing
2. Allow aircraft to settle
3. Raise collective just before touchdown to cushion landing
(Tip: Pedal, settle, cushion) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency procedure
for a power failure below 8 feet AGL?
75 KIAS airspeed at %90 rotor RPM
,This provide 4:1 glide ration. 1 nautical mile for 1500 feet of altitude lost. - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔What is the maximum glide distance configuration and what glide ration does
this provide?
Rotor RPM should be increased to %97, when autorotating below 500 feet AGL - CORRECT
ANSWER- ✔✔During a maximum glide autorotation below 500 AGL, what minimum rotor
RPM should be maintained?
1. Mixture full rich
2. Primer (if installed) down and locked
3. Throttle closed, then cracked slightly
4. Actutate starter with left hand
Do not attempt until safe autorotation has been established or an engine malfunction is
suspected. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency procedure for an air restart?
the engine restart procedure should not be attempted when an engine malfunction is
suspected or before safe autorotation is established. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔When
should the engine restart procedure not be attempted?
1. Follow same procedure as a power failure over land until contacting water.
2. Apply lateral cyclic when aircraft contacts water to stop blades.
3. Release seat belt and clear aircraft when blades stop. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is
the emergency procedure for ditching with power off?
Ditch: Water landing
1. Descend to a hover
2. Unlatch doors.
3. Passenger exit aircraft.
4. Fly away from passengers.
5. Switch battery and alternator off
5. Roll throttle off into overtravel spring
7. Keep aircraft level and apply full collective up as aircraft hits water
, 8. Apply left cyclic to stop blades
9. Release seat belt and quickly clear aircraft when blades stop. - CORRECT ANSWER-
✔✔What is the emergency procedure for ditching with power on?
Ditch: Water landing
A loss of tail rotor thrust is usually indicated b a nose right left taht cannot be corrected by
applying left pedal. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What might indicate a loss of tail rotor
thrust during forward flight or hover?
1. Enter autorotation immediately
2. Maintain at least 70 KIAS airspeed.
3. Select landing site, roll throttle off into overtravel spring and perform autorotational
landing.
(If directional control can be maintained and a safe landing area is not available, flight at 70
KIAS may be possible) - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency procedure for
loss of tail rotor thrust during forward flight if directional control can not be maintained or a
safe landing area is not available?
Vertical fin may permit limited controlled flight at a very low power settings at airspeeds
above 70 KIAS; however prior to reducing airspeed, pilot should re-enter full autorotation. -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔If the aircraft loses tail rotor thrust during forward flight and a
suitable landing area is not immediately available, what benefit vertical fin provide?
1. Roll throttle off into overtravel spring
2. Allow aircraft to settle
3. Raise collective before touchdown - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔What is the emergency
procedure for a loss of tail rotor thrust during a hover?
Continue attempt to start, which will suck the flames and excess fuel through the carburetor
and into engine. - CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔If an engine failure occurs while attempting to
start on the ground, what action should be taken? Why?
Run the engine at 50-60% RPM for a short time, then shut it down and inspect it. -
CORRECT ANSWER- ✔✔If an engine fire occurs during start on the ground, and engine
starts, what action should be taken?
