MH60T Trivia #451-475
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?
- Q: Anti ice reduces power available?
A: Up to 18%.
- Q: ECS on HOT reduces power available?
A: Up to 5%.
- Q: ECS on COLD LOW flow reduces power available?
A: Up to 4%.
- Q: ECS on COLD HIGH flow reduces power available?
A: Up to 7%.
- Q: Regardless of the air source, ECS automatically shuts down when?
A: Contingency power is selected. When starting an engine.
- Q: With air source in engine, ECS will also shut down if?
A: Either engine anti-ice switch is on, De-ice is in Auto and ice is detected, Underpressure is sensed, TGT over 851°C.
- Q: ITO procedure?
A: Climb power, wings level, three positive rates of climb (radalt, baralt, VSI) through 50′, nose 5° down, accelerate to 70-80 KIAS.
- Q: When are you required to call “safe single engine airspeed?”
A: The pilot shall call safe, single-engine continue-flight airspeed for all takeoffs over water.
- Q: What is the flight mechanic required to do until hearing “safe single engine airspeed?”
A: If the cargo door is closed, stand by the cabin door emergency window jettison handle.
- Q: The standard PATCH profile?
A: Above-line approach, airspeed hold w/ 360 fpm descent. Below line approach, level speed change. On approach above 40 kts. GS, 215 fpm rate of descent. On approach below 40 kts. GS, 130 fpm.
- Q: If cyclic beep is used to alter the deceleration profile on auto approach, how can the normal approach be reset?
A: Press cyclic trim release.
- Q: During auto approach, hover or depart, what are the indications of a RADALT failure?
A: Master Caution, AFCS Degraded Flashing, CPLR and ALT fail advisory chicklets, “RADALT FAIL” (aural warning).
- Q: If RADALT fails during an auto approach, what will the autopilot do?
A: Auto approach will disengage, BARALT will engage automatically at failure altitude, above 50 knots airspeed hold will engage, below 50 knots attitude hold will engage; DEPART function not available.
- Q: If RADALT fails during a coupled hover, what will the autopilot do?
A: Hover remains engaged, BARALT hold engages; DEPART function not available.
- Q: If RADALT fails during an auto depart, what will the autopilot do?
A: DEPART will disengage, BARALT will engage automatically at failure altitude, above 50 knots airspeed hold will engage, below 50 knots attitude hold will engage.
- Q: Single EGI #2 failure in approach, depart or hover modes?
A: Flashing AFCS degraded, approach, depart or hover will disengage, radalt hold remains engaged but all other autopilot functions will be degraded.
- Q: In a coupled hover, cyclic beeper has how much control?
A: +/- 10 knots from the selected LAT/LONG velocities.
- Q: In a coupled hover, crew hover control has how much authority?
A: +/- 5 knots around the same LAT/LONG velocity plus any cyclic beep changes (i.e., in addition to what the pilot has beeped in).
- Q: Max potentiometer settings?
A: 200′ AWL, 50 kts. GS (Long), 20 kts. GS (Lat).
- Q: Auto depart goes to what airspeed and altitude?
A: 300’, 70 knots.
- Q: Auto depart rate of climb?
A: 500-600 fpm.
- Q: When is auto depart available?
A: In a coupled hover, when auto approach has been selected, when you are below 50 KIAS with autopilot on and either altitude hold available.
- Q: Depressing depart initiates the departure, pressing it a second time does what?
A: Terminates the climb. Sets altitude hold. Above 50 knots airspeed hold. Below 50 knots attitude hold.
- Q: During departure, what torque limit does the DAFCS computer use?
A: 106.
- Q: What are two ways to stop the acceleration during auto depart?
A: Longitudinal cyclic beep and cyclic trim release.
