MH60T Trivia #51-75
This trivia series distills over 20 years of flight manual study into 500+ focused questions and answers, posted in 25 question sets. It’s not a substitute for the manual, but rather an aid to facilitate study and strengthen airmanship. During your review, ask yourself: How is this operationally relevant? Do I need to memorize it, or just be familiar with it? Should I review more on this topic?
51. Q: Max airspeed while extending or retracting searchlight?
A: 155 kts.
52. Q: Max airspeed while positioning the Trakkabeam?
A: 140 kts.
53. Q: Max touchdown speed w/tailwheel locked?
A: 75 kts. ground speed.
54. Q: Max touchdown speed w/tailwheel unlocked?
A: 20 kts. ground speed.
55. Q: Max taxi speed w/shimmy damper?
A: 40 kts. ground speed.
56. Q: Max taxi speed w/o shimmy damper?
A: 20 kts. ground speed.
57. Q: Max rate of descent for a level landing?
A: 720 fpm.
58. Q: Max rate of descent for a slope landing?
A: 360 fpm.
59. Q: Slope landing limits?
A: 12°cross slope, 9°nose up, 6°nose down.
60. Q: Min. distance of ground personnel from transmitting HF?
A: 20′ on deck.
61. Q: HF ALE modes to use w/people IVO the aircraft?
A: STBY, MAN, (HF ALE won’t sound).
62. Q: If the stab auto mode repeatedly disengages, what speed restriction is in effect?
A: Flight above 70 kts. in auto mode is prohibited (Warning).
63. Q: Number of re-engagements of auto mode permitted after a subsequent re-engagement resulted in an immediate auto mode failure?
A: Only one re-engagement is authorized because the hard over signal to one actuator may move the stab 4- 5° in the one second before another auto mode failure occurs.
64. Q: What maneuver is prohibited with the stabilator fixed in flight and failed stabilator flight?
A: An auto approach.
65. Q: When is fuzz burn disabled on the chip detectors?
A: 140° (coincidentally 140° is the trigger for the IGB, TGB TEMP cautions – however, the main transmission limit is 120°).
66. Q: Which chip detectors do not have a fuzz burn capability?
A: Engine.
67. Q: Which chip detector has a 30 second time delay?
A: The transmission main module chip detector (chip detector at the lowest point in the oil system).
68. Q: At what Nr will the generators shutdown weight on wheels (WOW)?
A: Approximately 97% – underfrequency is disable in flight (in flight, generators stop producing power around 80% Nr – Navy mishap data, auto training paper).
69. Q: What is the min. Nr to reset the generators?
A: 97% Nr (generators may not reset in flight if Nr is less than 97%).
70. Q: Boost off crosswind limit?
A: 15 kts.
71. Q: Boost off airspeed limit?
A: 140 kts.
72. Q: Boost off angle of bank?
A: 30°.
73. Q: What crosswind direction is favorable boost off?
A: Left crosswind.
74. Q: How will an AC ESS BUS failure affect the stabilator?
A: Failure of the AC ESS BUS will cause a loss of power to the stabilator and the stabilator indicator. The stabilator indicator will show the position of the stabilator when power was lost. No stabilator failure indications will be present.
75. Q: Max gross weight?
A: 21,884 lbs.
