PHI Oral Exam Guide S-92 ACTUAL
QUESTIONS AND CORRECT ANSWERS
What are the memory items associated with an engine fire? - Correct answers✔None
Refer to the checklist
Single Engine Failure
a. *Fly the aircraft, adjust collective to maintain desired Nr while transitioning to OEI airspeed*
b. OEI Select switch
c. Identify the appropriate malfunctioning engine
c. Confirm the correct engine/throttle, reduce throttle to idle then STOP
If during level cruise flight the aircraft unexpectedly yaws to the right, and is not responding to
left pedal, what may be occurring? - Correct answers✔Loss of tail rotor thrust may be occurring
What is the immediate action if you have a loss of tail rotor thrust? - Correct answers✔Enter
autorotation by lowering the collective
In regards to HAZMAT, how are PHI aircraft classified? - Correct answers✔Operations
Specifications defines PHi as a "Will Carry Operator"
- Cargo and Passenger Aircraft
- Cargo Only
What does the quantity limit refer to in the HAZMAT acceptance guide? - Correct answers✔The
quantity limit is per package
,If you receive unexpected HAZMAT, what must you do as the pilot? - Correct answers✔Refer to,
and complete the HAZMAT acceptance checklist/acceptance guide to ensure the paperwork,
quantity limits, placards, and storage are all correct. Mark "Accepted by PHI" on the HAZMAT
sheet, then complete and sign the pilot notification form. File this paperwork with your manifests
at the end of the day.
What do you need to log in order to act as PIC carrying passengers?
FAR 61.57, 135.247 - Correct answers✔Within the preceding 90 days you must have performed
and logged 3 takeoffs and landings in the same aircraft category, class and type (if type is
required).
What do you need to act as PIC carrying passengers on a night flight?
FAR 61.57, 135.247 - Correct answers✔To operate from the periods of 1 hour after sunset to one
before sunrise, within the preceding 90 days you must have performed and logged 3 takeoffs and
landings, within the period of 1 hour after sunset to 1 hour before sunrise.
For an SIC, what must he/she have performed in order to fly IFR?
FAR 61.57, 135.297 - Correct answers✔Within the preceding 6 calendar months, he/she must
have performed 6 instrument approaches, holding procedures, intercepting, and tracking radials.
If an SIC has only completed 5 of these approaches within the preceding 6 calendar months, is
he/she grounded from flight?
FAR 61.57, 135.297 - Correct answers✔No. They are only restricted from flying IFR with
passengers.
,Is there any other way of determining whether or not they are instrument current?
FAR 61.57, 135.297 - Correct answers✔If they have received an instrument proficiency check
within the preceding 6 calendar months, that meets the requirement. Recurrent training normally
qualifies for this.
What are the factors associated with dynamic rollover?
Rotorcraft Flying Handbook - Correct answers✔A pivot point, rolling motion, and exceeding the
critical angle.
What is a procedure that PHI has implemented to reduce the risk of dynamic rollover. - Correct
answers✔After landing, the pilot flying will reduce the collective to the full down position. The
pilot not flying will confirm the collective is full down prior to initiating taxi. When taxiing,
maintain a level aircraft attitude and ensure the aircraft is properly slowed prior to entering a
turn. Also, adhere to the ground wind azimuth chart restrictions. (GOM Air Taxi [arrival])
How can you reduce the risk of dynamic rollover during taxiing turns? - Correct answers✔Use
the cyclic to maintain a level aircraft attitude, slow prior to entering a turn, and reduce power by
lowering the collective if necessary.
What are the conditions conducive to loss of tail rotor effectiveness?
Rotorcraft Flying Handbook - Correct answers✔Hovering with a left quartering headwind, left
crosswind, or tail wind.
If you are making an approach at low airspeed, and your rate of descent increases as you apply
power, what could be occurring? - Correct answers✔Settling with power
, What would be the corrective action to recover from settling with power? - Correct
answers✔Forward or lateral cyclic to regain airspeed; lower the collective if possible to reduce
vortices (reduce power).
What is the minimum fuel requirement for an IFR offshore flight NOT requiring an alternate.
GOM 5.12 - Correct answers✔You must be able to fly to your destination, and then to another
suitable landing site (onshore S-92) and fly for an additional 30 minutes at normal cruise.
What is the minimum fuel required for an IFR flight when an alternate IS required?
FAR 91.167, GOM 5.11 - Correct answers✔You must be able to fly to your destination, then to
your alternate, and then an additional 30 minutes at normal cruise.
How often does a VOR check have to be completed?
FAR 91.171 - Correct answers✔It must be checked within the preceding 30 days
How can a pilot complete this check, and what are the tolerances required?
FAR 91.171 - Correct answers✔a. Through the use of a designated VOT facility +\- 4 degrees
b. Through the use of a designated airborne checkpoint +\- 6 degrees
c. Through the use of a ground reference point along an airway +\- 6 degrees
d. Through the use of dual VORs tuned to the same radial +\- 4 degrees.
What must the pilot do in order to log the VOR check?
