3. Continue straight ahead until clear of trafic (unless TWR calls with instructions)
4. Fly to a point well clear of trafic pattern and reenter traffic in normal manner

Question 9

What’s the procedure for a running landing ?

Answer 9

1. Shallow approach angle
2. Entry speed until GS rate of closure appears to be increasing - Then adjust to arrive at 50’ / 40 KIAS
3. MAX rate of descent at touchdown is 300 FPM
4. Cyclic adjust to attain attitude that maintains ETL
5. Call out *“I will touch down at this speed and power setting” *

Question 10

What’s procedure when encountering direct opposite trafic ?

Answer 10

Turn to the right

Question 11

Before T/O check

As in Checklist

Answer 11

1. FTR - OFF
2. Hover flight - perform
3. VAR NR - OFF
4. N2/Nr - 101 (DA table)
5. FLI needles - matched
6. Hover power - note
7. All warnings - OFF
8. Crew - Secure

Question 12

Before landing check

As in Checklist

Answer 12

Answer 13

1. Rotor RPM is within limits (PWR OFF 80/85% - 104% - 12 sec 110%)
2. Aircraft is at the correct airspeed
3. Aircraft in trim
4. Aircraft is in a position to terminate at the intented landing area

Question 14

What’s the procedure for VFR planning

Answer 14

1. Obtain weather
2. Flight possible - NOTAM, charts, restrictions ?
3. Heading, GS, ETE for each leg + alternate airfield
4. Compute distance + flight time + fuel
5. Weight and CG

Question 15

What’s the standards for each leg of a VFR flight plan and fuel needed ?

Answer 15

Each leg:
Distance +/- 1 NM
GS +/- 5 KIAS
ETE +/- 1 min
headings +/- 5 degrees

Fuel for mission +/- 100 lbs

Question 16

How is hover power check performed ?

Answer 16

Pilot on control annonce:
Intent to hover + a/c stabil + hover alt

Pilot not on control:
Actual hover TQ to predicted
“Hover check complete”

Question 17

When at KOZR which two hover checks do we perform before T/O and how ?

Answer 17

1. At the pad “Flight controls and CG normal - below GO/NOGO-Call pad clean and clear”
2. Before T/O - Line up in RW direction
   P* “Hover power check, A/C stabil, 3 ft hover”
   P “Predicted hover TQ xx, actual XX”
   P* “Hover check complete”
   P* Fuel for mission

Question 18

What’s level off check after T/O from Cairns inbound stagefield

Answer 18

“Cruise power - Applied
Fuel check: Fuel in main is xxx, time is now xx, timer started
LDG light - ON”

Question 19

What check at the end of the corridor ?

Answer 19

“Avionics and displays (TWR/GLS1)
Begining climb to pattern altitude
Before landing check”
