1. Define Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness as written in Chapter 8 of the Operator’s Supplement. Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness is the occurrence of an uncommanded and rapid right yaw rate which does not subside of it’s own accord and which, if not quickly reacted to, can result in loss of aircraft control. Pg. 8-24 Para. 8-32

2. The emergency procedure for Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness is. 1. Pedal-Full Left 2. Cyclic-Forward 3. As recovery is affected, adjust controls for normal flight 4.

3. The WARNING associated with Loss of Tail Rotor Effectiveness states: Collective reduction will aid in arresting the yaw rate; however, if a rate of descent has been established, collective reduction may increase the rate of descent to an excessive value. The resultant large and rapid increase in collective to prevent ground or obstacle contact may further increase the yaw rate, decrease the rotor RPM and cause an over-torque and/or over-temperature condition. Therefore, the decision to reduce collective must be based on the pilot’s assessment of the altitude available for recovery. Pg. 9-15

FM 3-04.203

1. Explain why hovering OGE requires more power than hovering IGE? When in ground effect the proximity to the ground allows for a barrier to interrupt the induced flow path therefore decreasing the velocity of the flow.

12 (Circle the correct answer) The advancing main rotor blade flaps up. True. Pg. 1-40

13. What conditions must exist for settling with power to occur? 1) A vertical or near vertical descent of at least 300 feet per minute. 2) Slow forward airspeed. 3) Rotor system must be using 20-100% of the available engine power with insufficient power remaining to arrest the descent. Low rotor RPM could aggravate this. Pg. 1-62

14. What methods can be combined to recover from settling with power? Which is the preferred method? 1) During the initial stage (when a large amount of excess power is available) a large application of collective pitch may arrest rapid descent. If done carelessly or too late, collective increase can aggravate the situation resulting in more turbulence and an increased rate of descent. 2) In single-rotor helicopters, aviators can accomplish recovery by applying cyclic to gain airspeed and arrest upward induced flow

of air and/or by lowering the collective (altitude permitting). 3) In tandem-rotor helicopters, fore and aft cyclic inputs aggravate the situation. By lowering thrust (altitude permitting) and applying lateral cyclic input or pedal input to arrest this upward induced flow of air, the aviator can accomplish recovery. The preferred method is gaining airspeed as les altitude is lost. Pg. 1-62
