You are flying any piston engined Helicopter in an 80 Kt cruise at 2000 Ft

8. The low rotor RPM horn sounds. What is the safest assumption to make?
|
|
A.
A gust of wind has increased drag on the main and tail rotors.
|
| B.
The engine has failed, you must perform an engine off landing.
|
|
C.
The Governor and / or Correlator has failed to maintain RPM.
|
|
9. What is the next most likely cause of the low RRPM warning?
|
|
A.
The Governor / Correlator has failed to maintain RRPM.
|
|
B.
A gust of wind has increased drag on the main and tail rotors.
|
|
C.
For whatever reason, the Helicopter is in an overpitched state.
|
|
Flying in a Helicopter with a semi-rigid rotor head in a cruise you wish to descend quickly to avoid something.
10. Is it OK to push the stick forward to descend?
|
|
A.
Yes.
|
|
B.
No.
|
|
11. If not, what action should you take instead? |
|
A.
Decrease throttle to bring RPM to the bottom of the green.
|
|
B.
Raise the lever to increase drag.
|
|
C.
Lower the lever and adopt an accelerative attitude.
|
|
D.
Lower the lever and maintain the attitude.
|
|
You are hovering (in any type of Heli) with a steady 20 kt wind on the nose but 0 kt groundspeed.
12. Does your Helicopter have any translational lift?
|
|
A.
Yes.
|
|
B.
No.
|
|
13. If that wind were to suddenly decrease to 3 kt (for more than a few seconds) and you made no control input, what will happen?
|
|
A.
Nothing.
|
|
B.
The aircraft will climb.
|
|
C.
The aircraft will descend.
|
|
14. Would you then have to use more power to maintain hover height?
|
|
A.
Yes.
|
|
B.
No.
|
|
The primary function of engine oil is lubrication.
15. What is its secondary function?
|
|
A.
Providing the final seal on piston rings, oil seals etc.
|
|
B.
Removal of carbon deposits to the oil filter and sump.
|
|
C.
Dispersal of heat to atmosphere through the sump or oil tank walls.
|
|
16. If oil contents have reduced, (by whatever means) has the oil's ability to perform this second function been reduced?
|
|
A.
Yes.
|
|
B.
No.
|
|
17. If a further reduction in oil content occurs, which instrument could warn of
a developing problem?
|
|
A.
The MP. gauge.
|
|
B.
The Carb. Heat gauge.
|
|
C.
The Oil Temp. gauge.
|
|
D.
The Dual Tachometer.

You are taking a friend for his or her first flight in one of your training organisation's Helicopters. The weather is perfect, you have plenty of fuel, are within MAUW and C of G. You have done a very thorough pre-flight, paperwork is all in order and an board (as necessary).
18. Would it be a good idea to tactfully find out if your passenger has ever suffered car or motion sickness?
|
|
A.
No, because it may actually bring it on unneccesarily.
|
|
B.
Yes, far better to know before take off.
|
|
19. Are there any items you should remove from the aircraft to ensure safety of yourself, your aircraft and your inexperienced passenger?
