R44 CADET POH – Eps Exam UPDATED
ACTUAL QUESTIONS AND CORRECT
ANSWERS
DEFINITIONS
- Land Immediately
- Land as soon as practical - CORRECT ANSWER - Land Immediately: Land on the
nearest clear area where a safe normal landing can be performed. Be prepared to enter
autorotation during approach, if required.
- Land as soon as practical: Landing site is at pilot's discretion based on nature of problem
and available landing areas. Flight beyond nearest airport is not recommended.
POWER FAILURE - CORRECT ANSWER May be caused by either an engine or
drive system failure and will usually be indicated by the low RPM horn. An engine failure
may be indicated by a change in noise level, nose left yaw, an oil pressure light, or decreasing
engine RPM. A drive system failure may be indicated by an unusual noise or vibration, nose
right or left yaw, or decreasing rotor RPM while engine RPM is increasing.
In case of power failure, immediately lower collective to enter autorotation and reduce air
speed to power-off the Vne or below.
Caution: Aft cyclic is required when collective is lowered at high air speed.
Caution: do not apply aft cyclic during touchdown or a ground slide to prevent possible blade
strike to tailcone.
POWER FAILURE ABOVE 500 FEET AGL
LEASRU 40 8 - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Lower collective immediately to maintain
rotor RPM.
, 2. Establish a steady glide at approximately 70 KIAS.
3. Adjust collective to keep rpm between 97 and 108% or apply for down collective if light
weight prevents attaining above 97%.
4. Select landing spot and, if altitude permits, maneuver so landing will be into wind.
5. They restart may be attempted at pilot's discretion if sufficient time is available.
6. If unable to restart, turn unnecessary switches and fuel valve off.
7. At about 40 feet AGL, begin cyclic flare to reduce rate of descent and forward speed.
8. At about 8 feet AGL, apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before
touchdown to cushion landing. Touchdown and level attitude with nose straight ahead.
POWER FAILURE BETWEEN 8 & 500 FEET AGL
LAM8 - CORRECT ANSWER 1. Lower collective immediately to maintain rotor
RPM.
2. Adjust collective to keep RPM between 97 and 108% or apply for down collective if light
weight prevents attaining above 97%.
3. Maintain airspeed until ground is approached, then begin the cyclic flair to reduce rate of
dissent and forward speed.
4. At about 8 feet AGL, apply forward cyclic to level ship and raise collective just before
touchdown to cushion landing. Touchdown in level attitude with nose straight ahead.
